World’s largest diamond miner, De Beers, company mission has been protecting and promoting natural mined diamonds with the industry’s ‘real is rare’ campaign. Recently, they announced the launch of their new jewelry brand Lightbox Jewelry offering synthetic, lab created diamond jewelry at a fraction of the price of a normal mined diamond. The brand sources the diamonds exclusively from Element Six, located in the UK and known for being a world leader in the field of synthetic diamond manufacturing. Mined diamonds vs. lab created diamonds has been a hot topic recently, and this new initiative only adds to the controversy. Not only is De Beers promoting lab created diamond jewelry, but their transparency and pricing is disrupting the entire industry. Lightbox Jewelry is being completely linear with their pricing—reasoning that they can make laboratory diamonds every day of the week, resulting in a modest $800 per carat retail. In contrast, the procurement of Natural Diamonds is quite expensive with DeBeers spending $2 billion to mine only 10 thousand diamonds over 1ct last year. Natural diamonds are rare and take millions of years to form, each one being as unique as a snowflake. The real disruption Lightbox Jewelry is causing is not for natural diamonds, but for other lab created diamonds. Until now, the pricing of lab created diamonds has been around 30% less than natural diamonds meaning you can get a bigger diamond for your money. DeBeers feels that synthetic diamond prices should be in no way tied to the pricing of Natural Diamonds. These Lightbox Jewelry diamonds are shockingly priced less than half the price of other lab created diamonds—positioning them even further from natural diamonds. So what does that mean if you own a lab diamond now? The move from De Beers could absolutely influence the overall long-term value of lab diamonds, which was questionable to begin with and far, far less steady than natural mined diamonds. Though Lightbox Jewelry does not sell these $800/carat lab diamonds loose, there is a good possibility it will threaten the value of lab diamonds whether you own one now or were interested in buying one in the future. Should I not spend my money on lab diamonds? It truly depends on your unique situation and beliefs. If the long-term investment of the diamond is important to you, a natural mined diamond may be the right choice. But if you are restricted by budget and are looking to make a gesture such as a Valentine’s or bridesmaids gift, you may look towards buying a lab created diamond. Lightbox diamonds are not being marketed for engagement rings as most people in their study groups claimed they would want a Natural Diamond for such a profound occasion. The perception of synthetic diamond jewelry was that it was good as travel jewelry and giftable for life’s “lighter” moments. If environmental and socio-economic impact is important to you, it is important to note that though lab diamonds are arguably the most impact-free route, many mined diamonds are responsibly sourced and actually do good for the economy where the mines are located. For example, for every acre that De Beers mines, they will offset that and devote five acres to conservation. There is also incredibly economic growth and opportunity in these mining regions such as Botswana, completely revitalizing their GDP, empowering women, and funding education and healthcare.

You’re engaged! Congratulations! Now that the initial shock and excitement of being newly engaged is wearing off, you’re moving on to the fun and chaos of wedding planning. Between picking a venue, finding the perfect dress, and selecting your wedding party, picking a wedding band can often get pushed to the bottom of the to-do list. You may be overwhelmed at the thought of selecting the ring that will forever represent your love for your spouse, but you shouldn’t put it off or stress too much about it. The following tips from the jewelry experts at J.R. Dunn will give you some insight on how to pick the perfect wedding band to go with your gorgeous new engagement ring. Check the Engagement Ring Designer’s Options Most diamond engagement ring designers have several wedding band options to choose from. It’s very likely that your engagement ring has a corresponding band that was made to match perfectly with it. Tacori is a well-known bridal jewelry brand that is known for stunning artistic elements on their engagement rings and incredibly sophisticated wedding bands. The Tacori Dantela collection has several gorgeous diamond engagement rings that pair beautifully with any of the bands in the same collection. Verragio is another brand that has several stunning bands that work perfectly with almost any diamond engagement ring in their collection. Verragio wedding bands are just as unique and elegant as their engagement rings, and the brand has men and women’s wedding bands that coordinate for even more seamless style for the couple. Each Verragio collection has unique elements in both the engagement rings and wedding bands, making for exclusive and recognizable looks that are sure to make any couple even more excited about their wedding day. If the designer of your engagement ring doesn’t have coordinating wedding bands or if you don’t like the corresponding ring, consider looking at other rings in that designer’s collection to find something that will go well with your engagement ring. If that doesn’t work, consider looking at some designers who have versatile wedding bands that might pair well with your engagement ring. Henri Daussi or Gabriel & Co. offer great alternatives among others. Pair Bands According to Your Engagement Ring Style Certain styles pair better together than others. If you’re unsure of where to start, begin by thinking about what style band you would like, then check to see if the style of band you’d prefer goes well with your engagement ring. If they don’t go together or you’re not sure where to start, visit J.R. Dunn Jewelers in store or give us a call so we can help you explore other options. You can also ask yourself some the following questions: Does it have a single stone, three stones or is it a diamond-lined band? Single-stone engagement rings go well with almost any type of band. A three-stone engagement ring is easily paired with a band lined with a diamond of the same shape. Engagement rings with diamond-lined bands are often paired with wedding bands that have diamonds lining it in the same way. Mix it up a little bit since you don’t have to stick with the same type of wedding band. For example, if you have a simple solitaire ring with a plain band, you might select a diamond-lined wedding band to add a little more bling to the look. This gorgeous A. Jaffe three-stone diamond engagement ring has a quilted setting with diamonds lining the band and underneath the three main stones. It pairs beautifully with this A. Jaffe diamond quilted wedding band due to the similarity in how the diamonds are set on the bands. This Tacori petite crescent bloom engagement ring has a round center stone surrounded by smaller diamonds and a pave diamond band. It coordinates perfectly with the Tacori petite crescent pave wedding band. Does it have gemstones other than diamonds? A non-traditional or non-diamond engagement ring opens many possibilities for wedding bands. Some wedding bands may have corresponding gemstones that match the engagement ring. Since the non-traditional engagement ring is already such a unique statement piece, it’s always a great idea to stay simpler and more traditional with your wedding band. Pairing any one of Tacori’s wedding bands with this Tacori diamond & sapphire engagement ring is always a great choice. Does the center stone have a diamond halo? Since halo engagement rings tend to make the center stone area larger, they pair well with curved wedding bands. This Gabriel & Co. engagement ring is a stunning vintage ring with a cushion halo, making it unique and incredibly gorgeous. Gabriel and Co. has this curved wedding band that coordinates perfectly with the style, design and shape of the ring. While a curved wedding band is a nice option, you can always stick with a straight, more traditional band, too. Consider Bridal Stacks Traditionally, brides get one wedding band that matches their engagement ring, and they wear both together on a daily basis. Now there is a new trend in bridal jewelry called bridal stacks where brides get two or three (or more!) wedding bands that they stack next to their engagement ring. They can interchange the wedding bands to create different stacks, and each wedding band may have different diamond embellishments or different metals. Bridal stacks are a fun way to create a unique and modern look and to express your individuality. You may want the same wedding band in different metal options, such as yellow, white and rose gold. Or you may choose to have completely different bands in the same metal as your engagement ring. Or you can get even more playful and creative and get varying wedding bands by different designers in multiple metals. When in Doubt, Go Custom. If you just can't find that special ring or nothing seems to lay right with your engagement ring, you can always go for something truly unique and have a piece custom designed. Our in-house, award-winning jewelry designer, Robert Pelliccia, and his team have designed many custom rings and will guide you through the process from start to finish. Creating your wedding band custom allows you to really ensure the rings lay perfectly together on your finger. You can also add small personal touches in the design process to make your ring your own, the perfect way to seal your marriage and committment to eachother.

Getting engaged is one of the most exciting events in a couple’s life. It marks the beginning of a life together that will include a wedding, maybe a growing family, establishing a home and many more wonderful milestones. The first step towards proposing and getting engaged entails selecting an engagement ring. With so many styles and trends available today, it can be hard to narrow down your options. J.R. Dunn Jewelers has a wide selection of luxury jewelry, including gorgeous diamond engagement rings and gemstone engagement rings, to mark the first step towards tying the knot: your engagement. While styles shift and change over time, and while some ring trends come and go, there is nothing quite as classic and elegant as a diamond engagement ring. No matter what cut you prefer, how big you want the center stone or what type of metal you desire, J.R. Dunn has a wide array of stunning and timeless diamond engagement rings that will offer you the perfect first step toward building a life with the one you love. Take a look at some of the most timeless and classic diamond engagement rings we carry. Round-Shaped Diamond Engagement Rings Round diamonds are about as classic as they come. While the shape is round, the cut is likely “brilliant,” meaning that it is cut to reflect light brilliantly. Round-shaped diamonds make up the majority of diamonds, accounting for 75% of all diamonds sold. Due to the way round diamonds are cut, they tend to sparkle and shine more than any other cut of diamond. Here are three of the most classic and timeless round-shaped diamond engagement rings that J.R. Dunn has to offer. California-made Tacori is almost synonymous with classic diamond engagement rings, and this particular ring is no different. The Petite Crescent Bloom Twist Engagement Setting features a ribbon-like twisted band embellished with diamonds, a diamond halo around the round center stone and more diamonds underneath the mounting. You can customize the size of the center stone and the precious metal used. This sophisticated, elegant look will be stunning and breathtaking for years to come. The A. Jaffe Diamond Engagement Ring Setting is sure to astound everyone who sees it. Available in stunning yellow gold, this engagement ring features a round center stone atop an open gallery that is lined with diamonds. The band features multiple pave diamonds down the sides and a gorgeously-textured band interior. For ultra-simplicity and timelessness, you can't go wrong with this Simply Tacori Solitaire Engagement Ring. The four prong setting has a clean top view with a plain metal band and gorgeous details from the side profile of the ring. Its classic look makes it perfect for anyone who wants to capture the pure delight of a timeless engagement ring. Cushion-Cut Diamond Engagement Rings Cushion-cuts combine a square-cut diamond with rounded corners. For the first century of its existence, cushion-cut diamonds were the most popular of all the cuts, and today they are the second most popular cut when it comes to classic shapes. They are versatile and work well in almost any ring style, and they are loved for their antique feel paired with the modern look of a perfectly cut and incredibly sparkly diamond. This Henri Daussi Cushion Halo Engagement Ring is both elegant and sophisticated, while simultaneously being dramatic and spectacular. A cushion-cut center diamond in the size of your choice is surrounded by a halo of diamonds. The band is lined with two rows of smaller diamonds, making this white gold diamond engagement ring breathtakingly beautiful and fit for the most incredible woman. This unique Tacori Diamond Bloom Engagement Setting is a playful take on a cushion-cut ring. The center diamond is actually round, but it is surrounded by a halo of pave diamonds that give the look of a cushion-cut center stone. The ribbon-style band features several more diamonds, and the side-profile view shows off a classic Tacori artistic design under the center stone. Unique-Cut Diamond Engagement Rings Pear-Cut Engagement Rings MARS Fine Jewelry designers’ attention to detail and eye for sophisticated design holds true in their Pear-Shaped Diamond Halo Engagement Ring Setting. This striking ring features a pear-shaped center stone which sits atop a 14kt white gold, yellow gold or rose gold band. Diamonds line the top of the band, bringing even more shine and sparkle to this already regal ring. Emerald-Cut Diamond Engagement Ring Another classic, timeless diamond engagement ring by Tacori is this Dantela Emerald-Cut Bloom Engagement Setting. An emerald-cut diamond is surrounded by a crown of diamonds and stunning diamonds line the band with spectacular sparkle. The side profile has more diamonds and some structurally artistic features, and the signature crescent profile complete this incredible diamond engagement ring. Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring This Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring Setting by Robert Pelliccia is dramatic and classic all at the same time. The marquise-cut center stone is a dazzling feature that is only further intensified by the 18kt white gold diamond-enhanced band. This ring is stunningly simple, yet breathtaking and extravagant all at once, and it is sure to delight any recipient. Oval-Cut Diamond Engagement Ring For a classic take on a timeless symbol of love, take a look at Tacori’s Oval Solitaire Engagement Ring Setting. There is nothing quite as classic as a simple yet beautiful solitaire engagement ring, and this ring exemplifies that. The oval-cut center stone stands atop a band of 18kt white, yellow or rose gold or platinum. Underneath the center stone are gorgeous sculptural elements and diamond accents that further extend the remarkable timelessness of this ring. Regardless of what kind of diamond engagement ring you’re looking for, J.R. Dunn can help. Whether you’re shopping online or in-store, our sales professionals can help you define your vision and explore various options. Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed by the endless options of engagement rings—get in touch with us today and let us help you pick out the perfect diamond engagement ring.

Layering accessories is becoming trendier with each passing year. Stackable rings are one such trend that we don't see going away anytime soon. J.R. Dunn carries a variety of stackable rings, from simple to ornate, and we encourage experimentation with mixing and matching them with other stackable rings in your jewelry collection. Different Types of Stackable Rings Thin & Delicate – The most common type of stackable rings are thin, delicate, and very simple. A diamond and turquoise ring relays a quiet beauty and is perfectly paired with several other thin and delicate rings or a larger, more ornate ring. Thin and delicate stackers can also have jewels or gems all the way around, an initial or other singular design, or three stackables combined into one ring. Solitaire – A band with a single stone is a timeless ring style, and many solitaires are designed to pair well with other stackable rings. This yellow gold mother of pearl ring will work great as a focal piece for your hand, with other delicate yellow gold rings complementing it. A classic rose gold stackable diamond ring is also a stunning style that works well with various other stackable rings. Open – These rings are not complete circles, but rather have an opening on the top side. They are unique, trendy, and great for stacking. This moon & star stackable ring is playful while still classy, while this tiny two-diamond ring is pure sophistication. Moderate – A moderate ring falls somewhere between thin and bold. It can easily be worn by itself, but it also works great as a stackable ring when paired with a few delicate rings. This diamond braided ring falls into this category, as does this diamond baguette twist ring. Bold – This criss cross diamond ring is a perfect example of an ornate or bold stacker, and so is this. These are larger and more intricate, and they can be worn alone, with one or two other delicate pieces, or with multiple rings on the same hand. How They Work Together When it comes to stacking rings, less is more. Putting several ornate rings on one hand is a no-no, but several thin, delicate rings on one hand is perfectly acceptable. Feel free to play around and test out some different combinations. Choose Something with a Story or Personal Meaning • Try putting multiple rings on one finger while putting just a single ring on each of your other fingers. Try one ring per finger, varying the ring styles. Try making one finger the focal point of your hand with a moderate or ornate ring plus some thin rings, and then layer thinner rings on the rest of your hand. Try including midi rings or fingertip rings to push layering even farther. One way to ensure you’re not going overboard is to choose rings of the same metal type or stone color. This will provide a more cohesive appearance without looking over-the-top. With these tips and a huge variety of stackable rings on the market, you’re sure to have a ton of fun decorating your hands each day and are sure to make a statement with your layered rings.

Engagement rings have always been a symbol of a promise and a commitment to get married in the near future. While traditionally given to women by their boyfriends, engagement rings are becoming more popular for men to wear. Some women are choosing to propose to their boyfriends rather than the other way around and they want a physical representation of their love to present to their boyfriends upon proposing. Additionally, LBGTQ+ couples are getting engaged now that gay marriage is legal in the U.S., and they are electing to wear men’s engagement rings to show the world their love and commitment. Outside of these two circumstances, some men simply wish to have a symbol of their engagement. Because of all of these reasons, men’s engagement rings are becoming increasingly common and are a growing trend amongst today’s engaged couples. Men's Engagement Ring Styles The great thing about men’s engagement rings is that there are so many styles to choose from. Whether you want something simple and small, bold and ornate or unique and personal, J.R. Dunn Jewelers has a large selection of stylish men’s engagement rings, and you’re sure to find the perfect one. Take a look at the different styles available and some examples of each.

For a bold but simple look, this Triton Tungsten Carbide Band is perfect. This men’s engagement ring shows the natural beauty and strength of tungsten carbide, and it is embellished with three distinct cuts around the band. This ring embodies strength, durability and boldness. Modern It’s only fitting for a modern man to have a modern ring.

The Lashbrook Flattwist EuroSquare Band is stunning and unique—it has a square shape, an acid-finished Damascus steel and a unique, one-of-a-kind flat twist pattern. The Lashbrook Cobalt Chrome & Meteorite Band is distinctive and contemporary. The inlay is made with actual meteorite, while the beveled band is a modern cobalt chrome.

This ring is perfect for that strong and reliable man who loves the outdoors and wants a touch of it with him all the time. The wooden inlay comes from an African hardwood, and the Damascus steel is acid-finished for a perfect balance of industrial and rustic style. Diamond-Embellished Diamonds aren’t just for women anymore. Some men want their engagement ring to be just as sparkly as a classic women’s engagement ring, so we’ve got a number of stunning diamond-embellished men’s engagement rings. This Crown Ring White Gold Diamond Band is made of 18kt white gold and features pave diamonds set in sections throughout the band.

This Tacori Diamond & Sterling Silver Ring is an absolutely dazzling diamond-embellished men’s engagement ring. With several pave diamonds inset into the top of this ring, it will sparkle and shine in the best way possible, telling the world in a bold and beautiful way that you are taken. How to Choose the Perfect Men’s Engagement Ring Whether you’re buying for yourself or your soon-to-be fiancé, choosing the perfect men’s engagement ring doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Knowing the style preference of the one you’re buying for is key, as is knowing their opinion about men’s engagement rings. Does he want something showy to match his colorful personality? Does he want something masculine and rugged that reflects his lifestyle? Or does he want something simple that is just a small, sweet statement of his relationship? You also need to consider the metal of the ring and any embellishments that he may desire. Some available metals include white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, steel, tungsten carbide, sterling silver, zirconium, titanium and chrome. Embellishments include diamonds, meteorite, black carbon, wood and more. There are so many options available, and by knowing the personal preferences of your guy, you can easily select the perfect men’s engagement ring that is sure to wow him.

In July of 1893, the first cultured pearl was successfully produced. The man credited with this creation, Kokichi Mikimoto, went on to patent his thoroughly researched techniques for pearl cultivation, and in 1899, he opened his first pearl boutique in Tokyo. Soon after, he opened stores in London, Paris and several other major cities. Today, Kokichi Mikimoto’s artistic and scientific discoveries live on. The Mikimoto name is closely associated with innovative jewelry design, superb craftsmanship, superior quality, unparalleled passion and stunning, timeless elegance. The current Mikimoto line includes gorgeous pearl earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces, and here at J.R. Dunn, we are honored to be an authorized retailer of the Mikimoto brand.

Mikimoto rings all contain pearls, but some are adorned with the timeless Akoya pearl, while others feature a white, gold or black South Sea pearl. The Golden South Sea Pearl and Diamond Ring is a spectacular piece of jewelry. It is adorned with a rare golden South Sea pearl, which is only highlighted by the 18k yellow gold and diamond-embellished curve that wraps around the pearl.
