LOVE STORIES
By Jennifer Brugh
FROM TO Love story
It was the engagement heard around the world, breaking the internet on a random Tuesday. But while everyone else was focused on how Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce broke the news, we couldn’t help but notice the what—a stunning custom-made engagement ring sporting an old mine cut cushion diamond in an 18K gold setting.
A NEW ERA IN BRIDAL BEGINS LegenDary
Yellow gold
Yellow gold is reclaiming center stage, and for good reason. Its buttery warmth flatters every skin tone and instantly lends modern rings a sense of history. Its soft hue reads luxe yet lived-in, dressing up a sleek, round brilliant or framing an antique- leaning cut with ease. Whether you love a tapered shank, a bezel-kissed profile, or delicate engraving, yellow gold sets the mood for such a romantic occasion.
Big solitaires
The solitaire is stepping into the spotlight again— bolder, lower, and more considered. Today’s solitaire silhouettes highlight presence without the pretense. Think a low and effortless setting, a pared band that lets the diamond sing, with side notes that complement the center stone, rather than compete with it. Solitaires are making a comeback in a big way and can take your love story from classic romance to living legend.
Fancy cuts
The season belongs to soft corners and old-world charm. Elongated cushions and old mine cuts exude unabashed romance, with larger, antique-style facets that shimmer in any light. If the popstar’s new bling caught your eye, then you’ll love a center stone that favors character over conformity. And if you’re into numerology, an old mine cut cushion has 58 facets: 5+8=13!
