When Engin came to my showroom in NYC for the first time, he knew what he wanted for Duygu’s diamond engagement ring. His sister and mom accompanied him for support, but he had already learned about the 4C’s of diamonds and he had pictures of rings that she liked and a metal in mind.
And we did it!
As for the wedding band, Duygu knew what she wanted as well. A wide diamond encrusted band.
My cad team made the models to their specs and, once approved, the rings were created. They both gave me their input and the direction I needed to make them a beautiful engagement set that they can enjoy and cherish for years to come.
In August, they celebrated the their first wedding ceremony with family in Turkey, The second wedding is coming soon!
It was a pleasure working with them! Congratulations Duygu and Engin!

Andrew and Karen are an impossibly cute couple. Although it could be that today’s grooms are going to more trouble, Andrew took things to a new level.
For one, he put in surreptitious groundwork with his future bride, casually shopping while silently noting her preferences. Then, he transformed himself an absolute expert in choosing the right stones and design for the engagement ring. And with the research he put into learning about cuts, weights, clarity, color and all the other factors that go into selecting a fine diamond, he equipped himself to find the perfect stone. The quest continued. He was concerned that Karen has slender fingers, so he wanted it to be comfortable, after much discussion he made the decision and we made this incredible ring. Act One was finished.
Andrew followed through to Act Two by planning a memorable and touching surprise proposal. This had to involve the couple’s star players, two adorable Shih Tzu’s, Missy and Mia. Conspiring with Karen’s BFFs, Andrew had them set up a girls-only brunch date, one that would require a trip into Gantry Park in Long Island City. Missy and Mia were coiffed and bedecked in special ribbons and handmade signs to pop the question. Bouquet of white tulips in one hand and dog leads in the other, Andrew made his way to a secret point in the park. The plan worked admirably, for Act Three. Karen was completely and utterly surprised. Missy and Mia performed their roles without dropping a beat, delivering the all-important question. His intended loved the ring and happily, said, Yes. A wonderful day was had by all, full of tears, cheers and barking.
Now Andrew is sending a close buddy to Grant’s so we can ensure that he, too, gets a ring that admirably captures his sentiments when he asks the biggest question in life. We foresee at least one more happy love story in the near future.

Emerald is a precious gemstone and a variety of the mineral beryl colored green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium.
Read story
Emerald is the bluish green to green variety of beryl, a mineral species that also includes aquamarine. They are the rarest of the colored gemstones and a much softer gem, making them more expensive and highly desirable. Emeralds are found in granite, pegmatites, and schists, as well as alluvial deposits. Some emeralds find their way into gravels where the action of the water tumbles and smooths them so they resemble shiny pebbles. 
The first known emerald mines were in Egypt, dating from at least 330 BC into the 1700’s. Cleopatra was known to have a passion for emerald, and used it in her royal adornments. The Irani State Treasure contains an exquisite collection of Emeralds, as well as the Emerald tiara of ex-Empress Farah.
Shah Jahan, one of the moguls of India that built the Taj Mahal, loved Emeralds so much that he had sacred texts inscribed into them and used these gemstones as talismans. The ancient writings of Veda, the sacred text of Hinduism, testifies to Emerald as being the “gem of good luck” and the “gem that improves one’s well-being”. These “Mogul Emeralds”, as they are known today, can be found in modern museums and collections.
Emerald’s lush green is said to have “soothed souls and excited imaginations” since antiquity. Rome’s Pliny the Elder described emerald in his Natural History, “…nothing greens greener”. He described the use of emerald, saying that they have found “no better method of restoring their eyes than by looking at the emerald, its soft, green color comforting and removing their weariness and lassitude.” Even today, the color green is known to relieve stress and eye strain.
Its vibrant green color reflects new spring growth, which makes it the perfect choice of a birthstone for the month of May. It’s also the gemstone for twentieth and thirty-fifth wedding anniversaries.

In diamonds, rarity equals value. With fancy color diamonds—the ones outside the normal color range—the rarest and most valuable colors are saturated pinks, blues, and greens. In all cases, even very slight color differences can have a big impact on value.
Compared to fancy yellows and browns, diamonds with a noticeable hint of any other hue are considerably more rare. Even in light tones and weak saturation, as long as they show color in the face-up position, they qualify as fancy colors. Red, green, and blue diamonds with medium to dark tones and moderate saturations are extremely rare.
Grading fancy color diamonds is complex and specialized, and it takes highly trained laboratory graders to complete the process accurately. The GIA system for color-grading fancy color diamonds is designed to accommodate the fact that not all colored diamonds have the same depth of color. For example, yellow diamonds occur in a wide range of saturations, while blue diamonds do not.
Diamonds with red or reddish colors are extremely rare and highly valued. Pure pinks are more popular than diamonds that are purplish, orangy, brownish, or grayish. Trade professionals market some very attractive stones in this category as “rose-colored,” and some stones with purplish tints as “mauve” diamonds.
Blue diamonds are extremely rare. They generally have a slight hint of gray, so they’re rarely as highly saturated as blue sapphires. Their color is caused by the presence of boron impurities—the more boron, the deeper the blue.
Fancy green diamonds are typically light in tone and low in saturation. Their color often appears muted, with a grayish or brownish cast. The hue is generally in the yellowish green category. In most green diamonds, the hue is confined to the surface, and rarely extends through the entire stone. That’s why cutters try to leave as much of the natural rough around the girdle as possible.
Naturally colored green diamonds are extremely rare. Because of their rarity and the very real possibility of treatment, green diamonds are always regarded with suspicion and examined carefully in gemological laboratories. Even so, advanced gemological testing can’t always determine color origin in green diamonds.
Brown is the most common fancy diamond color and the earliest to be used in jewelry. Second-century Romans set brown diamonds in rings. In modern times, however, they took some time to become popular. Brown diamonds were typically considered good only for industrial use until the 1980s, when abundant quantities of them began to appear in the production of the Argyle mines. The Australians fashioned them and set them in jewelry. They gave them names like “cognac” and “champagne.” The marketing worked, and brown diamonds are found in many medium-priced jewelry designs today.
Yellow is diamond’s second most common fancy color. Yellow diamonds are sometimes marketed as “canary.” While this isn’t a proper grading term, it’s commonly used in the trade to describe fancy yellow diamonds.
Until the late 1990s, there was not much demand for black diamonds. But designers started using them in jewelry, especially contrasted with tiny colorless diamonds in pavé settings, and they began to gain in popularity. Fancy white diamonds also exist. They have a milky white color. Sometimes white diamonds are cut to display beautiful opalescent flashes of color.
Many of the colored diamonds that are found in jewelry are color-treated, meaning that undesirable colored diamonds have been treated to enhance their color. There are a few different treatments that make this happen. The most common is High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) where the stone is put under those conditions to change the color. There is also a procedure called Irradiation, where the diamonds are exposed to high energy electron or neutron particles which physically alter the crystal lattice. Lastly there are synthetic colored diamonds which are lab grown diamonds that are created under the types of conditions that natural colored diamonds would be exposed to.
All these different treatments significantly decrease the value of the colored diamond, which is why you only want to buy a colored diamond from a seller who will provide a grading report from a trusted lab such as GIA.

Unlike other gems where size is the biggest factor in value, Amethyst is much more about depth of color. It's thought to bring emotional stability and inner strength…
Read story
Amethysts are a type of quartz, with purple coloring that runs the gamut from reddish purple to a bluish lilac. The hardness of the mineral is the same as quartz, (7 on the Moh’s Hardness Scale) thus it is suitable for use in jewelry. Amethyst is known around the world for its striking beauty, deep color and minimum inclusion. The ideal grade is called “Deep Siberian” and has a primary purple hue of around 75–80%, with 15–20% blue and (depending on the light source) red secondary hues. Amethysts are often found in geodes amidst cooled lava.
Amethyst was used as a gemstone by the ancient Egyptians and was largely employed in antiquity for intaglio engraved gems. An engraved gem is a small gemstone, usually semi-precious, that has been carved with images or inscriptions. The engraving of gemstones was a major luxury art form in the ancient world, and an important one in some later periods.
Strictly speaking, engraving means carving in intaglio, with the design cut into the flat background of the stone. Relief carvings, with the design projecting out of the background as in nearly all cameos are also covered by the term.
In Greek mythology, a beautiful maiden called Amethystos was known to have rebuffed Dionysus, the god of wine. The legend says that the maiden prayed to the Gods to keep her chaste, resulting in her transformation to a white stone from a maiden. Dionysus, driven by grief, is said to have poured wine on the stone, turning it purple. As a result, the Amethyst is often associated with romance, lust and love.
In fact, the Amethyst gets its name from the Ancient Greeks. It is derived from ‘methustos’, meaning intoxicated. The stone was believed to protect its wearer from intoxication. The Greeks and Romans wore amethyst on their person and created drinking vessels from the stone to prevent inebriation and intoxication.
In the Middle Ages, it was considered a symbol of royalty and used to decorate English regalia. Medieval European soldiers wore amethyst amulets as protection in battle, believing that amethysts heal people and keep them cool-headed. Beads of amethyst have been found in Anglo-Saxon graves in England.
Italian Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci believed that wearing an amethyst could increase intelligence.
Until the early eighteenth century, the amethyst was accorded a regal status. The amethyst was believed to be a part of the cardinal gemstones, in the same league as the Diamond, Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire. Due to the discovery of extensive deposits of amethyst in Brazil, the stone is no longer considered as precious. The best varieties of the Amethyst gemstone are found in Siberia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, The United States and the Far East. Collectors look for depth of color, possibly with red flashes if cut conventionally. As amethyst is readily available in large structures the value of the gem is not primarily defined by carat weight; this is different to most gemstones where the carat weight exponentially increases the value of the stone. The biggest factor in the value of amethyst is the color displayed.

Amethyst is believed to bring the wearer emotional stability and inner strength. It is said to enhance flexibility and cooperation. Some say that wearing an amethyst will give you courage and help to prevent insomnia. The February birthstone is thought to soothe irritability, and balance mood swings, alleviate sadness and grief, and purify spaces of negative vibrations.

Garnets, the birthstone for January, are known for creativity, healing and protection. They are available in a range of colors, making them ideal for unique jewelry pieces!
Read story
Garnets are a set of closely related minerals that form a group, resulting in gemstones in almost every color. There are more than twenty garnet categories, or species, but only five are considered gems: pyrope, almandine, spessartine, grossular and andradite.
Red garnet is one of the most common and widespread of gems, found in metamorphic rocks – rocks altered by heat & pressure – on every continent. Not all garnets are as abundant as the reds. Demantoid, for example, is a rare and famous green garnet, spessartine (also called spessarite) is orange, and rhodolite is a beautiful purple-red. Garnets can even exhibit a color-change phenomenon!
Garnets are most typically found in Mali, Vietnam, India, Alaska & Mexico.
Facts & Folklore About Garnets
Garnets maintained their popularity through the Ages and were extensively used for Bohemian jewelry in the 18th and 19th centuries. Garnets were very fashionable in Victorian times as well.
Of course with a variety of colors available, garnets are still popular today. They can be used alone, or in combination with other stones – see some great garnet pieces below!

Called edgy, chic and mysterious - the black diamond adds something special to diamond jewelry. Learn about the carbonado, or black diamond that is on everyone's wish list…
Read story
Carbonado, commonly known as the “black diamond”, is the toughest form of natural diamond. They are even harder than the majority of colorless diamonds as a result of differences in their structure. Their natural color is black or dark grey, and black diamond is more porous than other diamonds.
There are several types of black diamond: Natural black diamonds, Man-made black diamonds & treated black diamonds. Natural Black Diamonds are actually quite different than other colored diamonds. They are also quite rare, so most black diamond jewelry is made with treated black diamonds.
Some scientists have proposed that their source was a supernova which occurred at least 3.8 billion years ago. After drifting through outer space for about one and a half billion years, a large mass fell to earth as a meteorite. It possibly landed in the regions that would later be Brazil and the Central African Republic, the only two known locations of carbonado deposits.
Sergio (Portuguese Carbonado do Sergio) is the largest carbonado and the largest rough diamond ever found. It weighed 3,167 carats or 633 grams and was found in the State of Bahia in Brazil in 1895. Like other carbonados it is believed to be of meteoric origin.
The black diamond gives an edgy twist to traditional diamond essentials.
Described as modern, chic & mysterious, the black diamond is perfect if you are looking for a gift with a little something extra this holiday season. Take a look at the selection below.

Are gemstone counter-tops the next home interior craze?
Quality counter-tops are essential to a well-functioning kitchen. Now, they don’t have to be quite so boring. One of the most popular materials in this new home design trend is amethyst. Amethyst is known for its extraordinary durability, making it a solid choice for counters. It is also incredibly beautiful – the distinct purple catches the light, which would create a unique shimmer for anyone’s kitchen.
Another gemstone brightening up counter-tops is labradorite, a stunning peacock blue gemstone which is known for its enhanced durability and resistance to heat.
Quartz has also recently become a more common choice for counter-tops. Because it is colorless, it can be combined with almost any existing kitchen design. Quartz counter-tops are also wipe clean and heat resistant making them ideal in a kitchen setting.

A guide to help navigate Holiday Jewelry Gift Giving.
Read story
There are hundreds of “Gift Guides” available at this time of year, but it’s hard to find a gift that conveys just how special your significant other is to you. Even if you’ve already decided on a special piece of jewelry, the choices can be overwhelming. Following are some tips to help you choose the perfect Holiday Jewelry Gift.
Classic Diamond Essentials are a staple that belong in every jewelry box. Diamond studs, tennis bracelets, hoops, necklaces and pendants are stylish and elegant – they match any outfit and are perfect for every occasion. Consider helping build her diamond collection with something from the Diamond Essentials collection – Susan will help you find or create a piece at any budget.
Take into account how long you have been together when deciding what to purchase. If it’s your first holiday together, consider something simple, but still romantic, such as earrings. Diamond studs come in many shapes and sizes, and are very affordable.
The longer you have been together, the more elaborate your gift can be. Or consider the pieces she already has in her jewelry box. If she has diamond studs and a diamond pendant, consider diamond hoops. If she has a Diamonds By The Yard Necklace, consider a Tennis Bracelet.
Don’t feel relegated to just buying diamonds. Precious gems and other birthstones can be made into studs, pendants, bracelets and necklaces as well. And Fine Jewelry is a perfect way to express individual style.
Consider her personality when choosing. Is she trendy? Pink or Rose gold is very popular at the moment. If she’s more eclectic, think about a unique cuff bracelet or fun pendant.
If you’ve been celebrating your love for decades, maybe it is time for a more extravagant gift. Consider a luxurious bracelet, or a one-of-a-kind cocktail ring. Or maybe an Anniversary Band or Eternity Ring.
One rule the experts all agree on: Don’t buy your significant other a ring if you’re not already married. It could be catastrophic if she opened a ring box and it wasn’t a proposal, no matter how pretty the ring! But if you are ready to propose, Susan will help you create the ring she is dreaming of.
Whatever you choose, there aren’t many girls who will be upset by a surprise jewelry gift. But start your shopping now so you have the time to choose a thoughtful gift that perfectly expresses your feelings. Contact us or call Susan today at (212) 398-1256 to get started!
