Interlocking Inspiration

Interlocking InspirationAre you on the quest for the perfect wedding band?  A band that matches your engagement ring perfectly and fits like a glove?  Well, sometimes this band is hard to find and if you are having trouble, than look no further.  Custom is for you and I have just the right amount of inspiration!

This beautiful set pictured is custom work at its finest.  It belongs to a wonderful couple saying “I do” this year and a couple that found luck with an interlocking stunner.  It all started with the beautiful, cushion cut diamond engagement ring.  Finished with such great detail from every angle and micro pave set diamonds to flash light in every direction.  It was gorgeous enough on its own but needed a wedding band to make it traditionally complete.

The couple decided on a custom,  interlocking, diamond wedding band that would sit flush and mimic the intricate detail on the outer edges.  A wax mock-up of the band was the first step to give the couple an accurate idea of just what to expect.  From there, the casting, the setting of the diamonds and the finishing of the metal was complete and the result was a true, interlocking inspiration.

 

 

One Ring, Four Ways

one ring four waysWith wedding season swiftly approaching, I’m sure there is a bride or two that could use a bit of inspiration.  One of the most important and challenging decisions to be made before the big day is the selection of a wedding band.  With so many wedding band styles to choose from and so many ways to express your personal style, I thought I would show a few examples of just how adventurous you can be.

Lets start with the engagement ring that is the center of all this attention.  I have chosen a simple and beautiful diamond accented engagement ring that is currently sitting pretty in our counters.  It is set with a 1.00ct round brilliant cut diamond in the center and is accented by shared claw set, round brilliant cut diamonds down the shoulders.  A timeless ring that is just perfect for my example.

Top left, I have paired the engagement ring with a shared claw, diamond eternity band that matches the engagement ring in terms of setting (shared claw) but is different in terms of diamond size.  We have increased the size of the diamonds to maximize sparkle for the girl who is not afraid to shine.  It’s not the cookie cutter match, but it looks fantastic!

Top right, is one of our most pinned on Pinterest and most adored diamond wedding bands to date.  It consists of delicate, diamond encrusted pod shapes that extend around the bands entirety.  This pairing is ultra feminine and lends to more of an antique styling that is so popular today.

Bottom left is for the daring and for the girl who likes to make a statement.  It takes the tri-color trend to a new level by incorporating yellow, white and rose gold into one gorgeous set.  One diamond eternity band is crafted in yellow gold and the other is crafted in rose.  The contrast is beautiful and unexpected and just might be my favorite!

Bottom right is the classic match in all shapes and sizes.  The diamond size in the engagement ring is reflected in the wedding band and the two rings fit together like a glove.  It’s traditional and classic, and there’s never anything wrong with that.

Whichever route you choose, I hope this ring shown four ways, will inspire you to think outside of the box and to try new things.  It’s a great example of how you can express your true, individual style through jewellery and how you are never limited with the options at your fingertips.

Band of Versatility

Band of VersatilityThis Minichiello staff favorite is a jack of all trades.  Not only is this diamond band one of our best-selling wedding bands but it’s also quickly becoming one of our most sought after accessories.

Its versatility is limitless because of its slim width and subtle pave detail.  As a wedding band, it compliments engagement ring styles from every part of the spectrum.  Matching well with the simplest of solitaires to the busiest of multi stone sets.  And with a price point starting at $500, you can even afford two, making a beautiful diamond frame for any piece.

We are also loving the way our jewellery specialist, Sarah, wears the ring.  As her pointer finger ring, the ease is undeniable.  A fresh, modern look and a new way of looking at things.

And it doesn’t stop there.  This beautiful diamond band is also available in yellow or rose gold and in five different carat weights for five different looks.  The options are endless.  Come check it out today!
