Family Halo Ring
by Diana Jewelers of Liverpool
Here's a different twist on the popular halo setting. This client had an oval solitaire engagement ring. Her idea was to add her children and grandchildren's stones around her center; almost forming a 'family circle' around her diamond. Luckily the halo had just the right amount of settings so each person had 2 stones. The halo was added to her existing ring and her center diamond reset.

Sapphire: September's Dazzling Blue Birthstone
by Diana Jewelers of Liverpool
Sapphire is September's birthstone. Before becoming a birthstone, sapphire jewelry was worn for other reasons. Although sapphires occur naturally in a range of colors, the most common is sky-blue. Because of this, sapphire jewelry was also worn because of the gem's believed connection to the gods.

Our Love Affair With Amethyst
by Betsy
Leonardo da Vinci was a great artist and scientist. We say this here because we totally agree with his assessment that amethyst is able to dissipate evil thoughts and quicken the intelligence. After all, wouldn’t anyone look smart wearing our beautiful Sterling Silver Amethyst Pendant? We think so! And who could look at our beautiful Sara Blaine Amethyst Ring and think any evil thoughts? With its gorgeous deep purple stone and royal setting, it just may make whoever wears it feel like a benevolent queen.

A Grandmother’s Surprise
by Betsy
A father and adult daughter came in to create a grandmother’s pendant for their special wife/mom. Our goal was finding a mounting that would take eleven stones in a balanced design; one that looks like it was always meant to be designed that way. With a little creativity, we found a mounting that took five stones and added the additional 6 stones to complete this grandmother’s pendant. They left the placement of the stones to us and luckily the balance of colors was perfect. What a wonderful family surprise.
