ten fabulous designers from around the world are coming and bringing stacks and stacks of bands and engagement rings – you'll definitely want a glass of the champagne that will be flowing just to help you get through it all. mark your calendars for friday and saturday, september 21-22, and show up either day between 11am and 6pm.
here's a little heads up so you can manage your game plan:
alishan is back! his delicious intricate carvings make every ring he creates super-special.
chris ploof is out of this world. seriously. he'll be bringing his meteorite bands (i wasn't kidding) – perfect for the guy who wants something different (and styles for her, too.)
gebruder schaffrath's incredible floating diamond has some beautiful new company in the rest of his always-sleek collection.
if diamonds are your girl's best friend (next to you, we hope) meet precision set... lovely, sparkly and fit for a princess.
coge's bands are always popular, and they have some incredible new styles to share.
omi privé rules in the universe of colored stones. gorgeous settings. knockout gems. 'nuff said.
even bez ambar's simplest pavé pieces turn heads – they can't help it. and wait 'til you see what else he's bringing!
we've missed the ultra-modern niessing folks for a couple of recent events and are thrilled that they could make it this time. their latest designs introduce ombre hues and texture in brand new ways.
lovely, sleek, totally current sholdt is back with their sensuous, luxurious sparklers.
and, finally, todd reed. tamer of raw diamonds. todd and his work will always have a special place in my heart, and i'm not alone. true story: the day after our wedding, we were showing our rings to a friend in an art gallery, and a woman walked by just as i said "todd reed" and she turned abruptly, repeated "todd reed!" and i swear she swooned (understandably.) but as i said before, more about that later! before then, there's a fabulous event to get to...
