7 Carat Princess Cut Tennis Bracelet

This is a stunning seven carat diamond tennis bracelet with princess cut stones, set in 14K white gold. My pet peeve about diamond tennis bracelets has always been that the stones are not brilliant – they can often be muddy and dirty – and that manufacturers often put more gold than diamonds in the bracelet, …

The Red, White and Blue

July 2009   The month of July always brings to mind images of fireworks and the flag. And three of the four most precious gemstones happen to be…red, white and blue.

Flawless Colorless Diamonds

I have had the distinct pleasure of working on several flawless, colorless diamonds, but this one is the most beautiful I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
