we love: the round solitaire engagement ring

If your personal style is classic, you might love a round solitaire engagement ring. They never go out of style, and they look good with any style of clothes or accessories. They’re kind of the little black dress of diamonds.

Queen Elizabeth II received one from Prince Phillip, with a 3 carat diamond from his mother’s tiara. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden wears a simple round brilliant diamond solitaire engagement ring set in white gold, very similar to our solitaire styles here.

Over and over, we’re seeing stylish celebrities and our own clients return to the classic simplicity of a round solitaire, and we do love designing them.

Lovely Kerry Washington wears a round diamond, and so does heavy metal heiress Kelly Osbourne. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alexis Bledel and Carey Mulligan are a few more of the recently engaged stars making round solitaires hot again.

Have you seen any amazing round solitaires lately? If you have one of your own, share it!

ask jeff cooper: the halo engagement ring trend

We predicted that halo rings would be big this year, and how right we were!

When we wrote about the adorable and lovely Alexis Bledel’s engagement to Vincent Kartheiser here, she wasn’t yet wearing a ring.

Now she’s stepped out in a vintage-inspired octogonal halo style, similar to our Tate Octet Ring.

Halo rings got some attention on TV when Catherine Giudici accepted ‘Bachelor’ Sean Lowe’s proposal with a square halo ring similar to Tallulah. ‘Bachelorette’ Emily Maynard wears a halo engagement ring, too.

The singer Brandy, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Wilde and Kate Middleton are but a few of the stunning celebrity brides who light up the room in halo rings.

Name a few more? Natalie Portman, Jennifer Hudson, Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Clarkson, Gwyneth Paltrow… it’s easier to name who’s not wearing a sparkly halo!

What say you? Are you on board with the halo trend?

Celebrity Trend: Hipster Engagements

Two of our favorite young celebrity couples have recently become engaged and we haven’t seen any rings yet!

Mad Men’s Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser are on their way to the altar, as are Any Samberg and his musician fiancee Joanna Newsom.

Since both brides-to-be are keeping their rings under wraps, we thought it would be fun to play matchmaker and pick out some star-worthy Jeff Cooper rings.

We’ll start with Alexis.

We don’t know her, but Vincent has a reputation for being pretty quirky, and Alexis has played some pretty quirky characters herself. That said, she tends to rock flattering, retro styles that don’t look too high maintenance.

We’d love to see her in our Holly Engagement Ring. Its Art Deco details would look so perfect with this amazing green SAG awards dress. It has the star power befitting a her celebrity status, but its delicate profile and classic simplicity won’t overwhelm the petite, down to earth actress.

We think it’s perfect!

Now, we’ll match up Joanna. She’s a true hipster, being the only singer/songwriter to play a harp (!) and make the cool kids stop and listen. She’s marrying Andy Samberg, so you know she doesn’t take herself too seriously.

For Joanna, we’d pick the Lily Engagement Ring. It’s unique, botanical design would be perfect with this offbeat dress she wore for the Independent Spirit Awards. Lily’s teardrop motif is a sweet reminder of the performer’s sensitive folk songs, and the play of light across the nature-inspired forms lends enough sparkle to light up the red carpet.

 

Beautiful and lyrical, right?

Now, we can’t wait for Ryan Gosling to propose to gorgeous Eva Mendes, so we can pick a Jeff Cooper ring for her!

What Jeff Cooper ring do you love for Alexis and Joanna? Leave it in the comments!
