If you’re buying a ring as a gift for someone, you’re definitely already on the right track. A ring makes a lasting and more meaningful gift than an MP3 player or a new casserole pan. At the end of the day, a ring is a symbol (of friendship, love, unity and much more), as well as a beautiful accessory to wear.
Silver, used for both practical and ornamental purposes, is a metal that has a staying power. It is the most plentiful and least expensive of the earth’s more precious metals like gold and palladium. Silver is a metal that has been used since the time of ancient civilizations to make everything from dishes to armor and crafted jewelry like silver promise rings. As such, a person with a small budget for a promise ring could ideally opt for a silver promise ring. As silver is a malleable and ductile metal, the silver promise ring could be inscribed with lovely, private wordings to seal the relationship.
Silver rings will never go out of style. The wonderful thing about silver is its versatility and ability to match with virtually any gemstone and design a jeweler wants to make. Finding a silver ring, if you are open to a variety of styles and shapes, should be a breeze within a lower price range. One of the most popular types of silver rings is the Celtic ring. These silver rings can be found in designs like the Trinity knot or the Claddagh design and are certainly special and stand out pieces of jewelry. Another affordable silver ring design is pieces with an antique look to them. You might not be able to afford genuine antique silver rings, but many ring designers these days try to get their rings to have the look without the high price tag.
Winston may be most famous for once owning the Hope diamond which he donated to the Smithsonian Museum in DC. I’ve seen the diamond firsthand and it is awe-inspiring!
Harry Winston established his company in 1932. He apparently had a love affair with diamonds….feeling immense joy when acquiring a new bauble and deep depression when selling one of his pride and joys. Harry’s son Ronald Winston is currently chairman of the company.
From the glamour of the Academy Awards to the glitter on a bride’s finger, Harry Winston engagement rings and jewelry are the ultimate in dramatic design. Not only has the House of Harry Winston been responsible for some of the most famous jewels in the world, but their specialized operations oversee the entire production of quality jewelry, from rough stones to cutting, polishing, and final sales. For a discriminating couple with a taste for uniquely American gem design, a Harry Winston ring is the essence of diamond elegance.
Harry Winston is hands on from start to finish with their pieces. The whole process of cutting, polishing, designing and creating the finished jewel is conducted in the Harry Winston 5th Avenue building in NYC. Their jewelry and engagement rings are like no others when it comes to quality, craftsmanship, and prestige.
Harry Winston has draped some of the world’s biggest celebrities in diamonds. Who could forget Bennifer’s enormous pink diamond engagement ring. Ben Affleck loved Harry Winston jewelry enough to also present Jennifer Garner with a 4.5 carat Harry Winston ring. Paris Hilton briefly sported a canary yellow Harry Winston diamond, when engaged to a man with her same namesake. You may have heard of the Taylor-Burton diamond, a 70 carat pear shaped rock? Hands down, the celebs love Harry Winston. Perhaps this is because Harry Winston covers celebrities in diamonds for some of the largest, most glamorous red carpet events like the Tonys, the Emmys, and the Academy Awards. And their prices are high enough to keep most of the riff-raff out of their stores and from the majority of commoners from wearing their designs.
