In today’s fast-paced world, where personal touches and celebrating individual style resonate highly, designing your engagement ring with your partner has become a celebrated new-age trend for clients of The Brownstone. This collaborative approach offers many benefits, making the journey to your perfect ring(s) both meaningful and memorable.
Personal Connection
One of the greatest joys of co-creating your engagement ring is the deep personal connection it fosters. When you design the ring together, you embark on a shared adventure, transforming the process into a bonding experience. I strive for a similar ethos in how I operate The Brownstone by offering 1:1 private appointments, ensuring my time is dedicated solely to you (and your partner). Our time together isn’t just about choosing a piece of jewelry; it’s about creating a symbol that reflects your shared story.
A Celebration of Diversity
This trend is especially resonant in today’s inclusive world, embracing all kinds of couples, including same-sex pairs. The collaborative design process allows every couple to create a ring that represents their love in a way that’s authentic and special to them. We recently had the pleasure of helping lifestyle editor, Shelby Wax and her fiancé, Olivia Rosen, design their rings ahead of their Bora Bora proposal. Although we collaborated closely throughout the design process, they came in knowing what they wanted - a marquise for Shebly and an emerald for Liv – and a desire to leave the final rings a surprise. You can read more about their joint proposal and why they decided to design their rings together, inside VOGUE.
Tailored to You
Designing your ring with a private jeweler ensures it’s tailor-made to your preferences. Instead of settling for something mass-produced, you have the opportunity to choose every detail– from the setting and stone to the metal and design elements. This level of customization we offer means your ring will be as unique as your relationship, embodying personal touches and significant details that truly matter to you (such as an engraving on the inside of the ring which Shelby and Olivia each included), while also considering important factors such as your financial parameters.
Future Memories
The act of designing your engagement ring together is more than just a purchase—it’s the creation of a future heirloom filled with personal history. Every time you look at the ring, you’ll be reminded of the exciting process you went through together, the love that went into every single choice and the bond you share with your partner.
If you and your partner are considering getting engaged, we’d love to welcome you both into The Brownstone for an initial consultation, where we can discuss the co-creating process.The meaningful tradition of designing an engagement ring is a true celebration of individuality and the journey of partnership that awaits.
Thank you Gigi De Manio for these beautiful photos of this private appointment.
