Here’s one for you! Beyoncé is sporting an 18ct flawless emerald cut platinum diamond engagement ring at the Fashion Rocks red carpet last Saturday. It seems that Beyoncé secretly married rapper Jay-Z back in April, and this is the first time she’s gotten around to showing off her ring.
The European Gemological Laboratory (EGL) recently authenticated the worlds largest pearl weighing in at 5 pounds! The 6" pearl was found in the giant clam Tridacna Gigas off the waters of the Philippines and is said to be the most valuable ever. We’re wondering just how to make this into a ring. . . . . . . . . .
We just realized we haven’t been posting many of the custom diamond engagement rings that we’ve been finishing! So, here’s a classic platinum beauty with pave set diamonds and a square radiant cut diamond in the center. We are able to make this ring with virtually any size and shape stone in the center.
Congratulations goes to
Courtney Semeniuk and his wife Nikki for winning 27% of the votes of the Custom Jewelry Design Contest with
his Azure Dream entry, a custom made 14kt white gold engagement ring
and matching wedding band made with natural diamonds and natural
sapphires.
Here’s the great part about the Semeniuk’s winning is this contest. The day we notified them that they had the winning entry was the same day they brought their new baby, Leland, home from the hospital. How cool is that???

Ladies and Gentlemen, Family, Friends and Clients, the first ever Custom Jewelry Design Contest
is now open for votes! The final piece has been finished, photographed
and uploaded to the gallery. Let your voice be heard and vote for your
favorite!
To give you a little background on each of the pieces, we posted an
entry in our blog and included this link. Be sure to click over to the
entries, there are some great stories associated with each of the
items. It’s been fun for all of us at Joseph Schubach Jewelers to see
just how much each piece of fine jewelry we make means to our clients!
These "Moon and Star" diamond earrings are probably a bit different from what you’ll usually see. Designed by Joe himself for a client who prefers unique jewelry, this pair of earrings is crafted in 18kt white gold and given a black rhodium finish. They contain over one carat of natural round brilliant cut diamonds set in reverse, with the points of the stones facing up. Yes, you read that correctly, the diamonds are set up side down.

Here’s one you don’t see every day. A very special client is about to receive these GORGEOUS 12ct pink loose moissanite stones for their collection. They are absolutely amazing, they have all of the brilliance that moissanite has but with this stunning pink color.
To give you some reference to size, we photographed the loose moissanite stones before we had them color enhanced next to a 1.50ct diamond.
A new world record for the highest price per carat for any gemstone ever sold was set on May 16th. The gemstone, a 3.73ct pear-shaped blue color diamond, sold for $4.93 million, or $1.33 million per carat! Check out the story here.
We just added these four hot new tungsten carbide wedding band styles. The first band has a faceted ‘pyramid’ shaped center with a black rhodium finish. The second band has a black carbon fiber center. The third and fourth bands have natural round diamonds and black rhodium finish sides. All four are comfort fit. For more information on tungsten carbide, visit our Metals Page. The bands can be found on our website in the tungsten wedding band section.
