Get it Right – The Importance of Ring Size May 25, 2009
Posted by Jill Renee in : Jewelry , add a commentBuying and engagement ring is something that most people only want to do once in a lifetime. However, buying an engagement ring is a bit more complicated than buying a new pair of shoes or even a new car. Potential buyers have to get a firm grasp on not only the measured qualities of a diamond, but also the taste of the intended recipient. The buyer must then figure out how to make those two things meet at a cost which is within the buyer’s budget. To put it bluntly, there are a lot of variables to consider when buying an engagement ring.
Fortunately, many people are able to trust the knowledge of their jeweler, helping to mitigate potential unforeseen circumstances when shopping for an engagement ring. However, there is one variable which neither the jeweler nor guesswork should be used for: ring size.
This is a detail which seems too important to overlook, and yet many people do. One of the most common justifications given for simply estimating a future-fiancés ring size is the need for surprise and the willingness to “just have the ring resized later.” This logic has one rather significant problem with it – not all rings can be resized.
To understand why, it helps to know how rings are actually resized. First, it’s important to know whether the band is being made larger or smaller. For a minor enlargement, a jeweler can sometimes just stretch a ring. However, for major adjustments in size, a jeweler must actually cut the ring. To make a ring smaller, the ring is cut and a piece is removed. To make a ring larger, the ring is cut and additional metal is inserted into the band. The ring is then welded back into one piece, massaged back into a circle, polished to hide the cuts, and finally buffed to a shine.
In an ideal world, the process is quick and the results are not noticeable. However, this process obviously cannot be applied to all rings. Why not? Well, there are two critical flaws which can prevent a ring from being resized.
The first such flaw relates to ring’s metal. In order for a jeweler to insert new material to enlarge a ring, the jeweler must know exactly what metal, or blends of metals, that the ring is made of. For this reason, many antique rings, family heirlooms especially, cannot be resized. However, this can extend to white gold rings if the composition of the alloy isn’t known. Mismatching metals can result in spotted or stained rings. Even if metal isn’t being added to a ring, not knowing the composition can cause spotting or staining when the jeweler attempts to melt and buff the ring back to the correct shape.
The second reason why some rings cannot be resized comes down to the process of buffing and reshaping. Rings which have detail lines or contain stones around the band would cause design inconsistencies if metal was to be taken away or added. Stones could be damaged, lost, or destroyed, decorative lines and details smudged, blurred, or even smooshed beyond recognition, and the ring essentially ruined.
Yes, there are alternatives to resizing. A jeweler might be convinced to swap out a ring, if the ring had purchased new. Ring guards, a metal piece inserted into a ring to make it smaller by taking up space, can be used for rings that are too large. However, these are overlooking one very important fact – when you’re on bended knee looking up at the one who just became your fiancé, you want her to be able to wear the ring right away. And you want it to fit.
The ultimate lesson is that ring size isn’t something you should guess at, nor is it something that you should consider fixable at a later date. Finding a ring size discretely might not be easiest task, but seconds after you pop the question, it will certainly be worth it.

The History of the Wedding Ring April 24, 2009
Posted by Jill Renee in : Jewelry, Wedding Jewelry , comments closedThe wedding ring is the final gift a couple will give each other prior to marriage. Some might say that the very first gift a couple gives each other is a promise ring – which most consider a pre-engagement ring. Then as a couple gets more serious they then give engagement rings to each other.
Many couples look forward to the moment when they’ll slip a ring on their beloved. The look of love in their eyes, that moment when the ring is on their finger and they realize that they are theirs forever. What most don’t realize is that these moments with wedding rings have been happening for centuries. The meaning and symbolism behind a wedding ring is rich and as intricate as its own love story. It deserves to be told so that couples know exactly why they use wedding rings.
This wedding ring is a symbol and throughout time this symbol has stood for love, devotion and at times simply for an arrangement between families. The physical structure of the wedding ring has changed and adapted as different cultures have fashioned it into different forms to make it look beautiful. Some materials are more plentiful in different areas – and other materials or precious metals are considered to be more valuable in other areas. But the meaning behind the symbol has remained the same throughout time and over continents. “I love you” “I want to be with you forever” and “You are mine.”
A ring in its simplest forms is a circle: meaning ‘eternity.’ What more could every couple want than the pure desire to spend eternity together? Most couples choose to have a sentiment or romantic saying engraved inside their wedding rings. This makes that universal symbol so much more personal for each couple.
Symbols exist throughout our culture. Even the materials the wedding ring is made out of can be seen as symbols of love and devotion. Most wedding rings include diamonds. Diamonds are literally indestructible; they are the “forever” stone you want to select to represent your love. Rubies are another choice that represents love, passion and preciousness. While the wedding ring itself is seen as valuable – the symbolism of the wedding ring shows that your beloved is valuable to you. By giving them a valuable ring – you are showing the world just how valuable they are to you. In older days – you might also be protecting your ‘property’ (when women were considered property and possessions).
The wedding ring was worn in later times just as it is today, on the left hand, third finger. This is because of the strong-held belief that the vein in this finger travels directly from the heart. This belief was affirmed as women began wearing their wedding rings closer to their hand and then their engagement ring on that same hand – affirming this belief about this hand being so close to your heart.
Wedding rings have been worn in many traditions. While the traditions may be slightly different – the sentiment and meaning – to love, treasure and honor one another forever – remains very much the same. In Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Christians, rings are exchanged not at the wedding service – but at the betrothal. The groom’s ring is gold and the bride’s ring is silver. In Greece rings are exchanged by couples as they are engaged they are worn on the left hand, fourth finger – and at the wedding they are switched to the right hand. In England, a wedding ring has traditionally always been exchanged. This appears to come from the long-standing belief that marriages were made as arrangements to exchange not just love and honor – but goods or property as well. This belief holds true for most European countries.
During World War II and the Korean War it became popular for men to wear wedding rings. This reminded them of the wonderful wife they had waiting at home for them. After these wars, men began to wear wedding rings to show their faithfulness, devotion and love. Now most men wear wedding rings in many cultures around the world.

Wedding and Marriage Advice January 5, 2009
Posted by Jill Renee in : Jewelry , add a commentAs a wedding approaches, planning often becomes frenetic. Problems emerge that need to be resolved and time quickly slips away. Meanwhile, thoughts about life spent together after the wedding are placed on the back burner. Planning a wedding and reception can be stressful, even if you’ve delegated a majority of the tasks to friends. Plus, there never seems to be enough time to take care of everything. But, it’s still important to remember that once you return home from your honeymoon, life resumes. And this time, that life is intimately linked with your spouse.
Below, we’ll discuss the wedding and reception, including the choice between a big event or small affair. We’ll also provide some advice for enjoying the honeymoon and returning home to build a lasting marriage.
Big Wedding Or Small?
Big weddings have always been popular. Decades ago, it wasn’t uncommon for a wedding to draw several hundred people. Family, friends, distant relatives, and even minor acquaintances were invited to share the experience and celebrate the marriage. However, times have changed. While large events are still popular, smaller affairs are becoming common. They’re more intimate and are designed to draw the people who play a significant role in either partner’s life. Neither choice is the right one. Selecting between a big or small wedding is a matter of catering to each partner’s preference.
Managing The Cost
Weddings are expensive. Today, the average wedding costs $25,000. And the bigger the event, the more expensive it is. Also, more couples are contributing to that cost than ever. Before planning any part of the wedding or reception, the engaged couple should agree on a budget. Not only will this keep the cost under control, but it’s a great opportunity to practice fiscal responsibility together. Plus, by creating a budget, both partners can establish reasonable savings goals in preparation for the wedding.
Planning And Enjoying Your Honeymoon
Traditionally, the planning of the honeymoon has been the responsibility of the man. However, just as men have begun taking an active role in the planning of a wedding, both partners should work together to plan their honeymoon. That includes agreeing on a suitable destination, activities to enjoy, the duration of the honeymoon, and where to stay. Arranging the details together makes it a team effort and ensures that both partners will have a great time.
Building A Successful Marriage
Eventually, the honeymoon ends and the married couple returns home. That’s when life together truly begins. Most couples who have been married for decades claim that a successful relationship is built upon a few basic principles. They include a willingness to compromise, communicate, and support and respect each other.
Of course, developing these traits within the context of a marriage is easier said than done. This is especially true for newlyweds. Often, they’ve lived the majority of their life without having to rely upon a partner. Being married turns that lifestyle upside down. It takes time and patience to cultivate the qualities that make a marriage successful. When long-married couples talk about the amount of hard work involved in building a lasting marriage, this is what they’re referring to.
Love For A Lifetime
A wedding is always exciting because it holds the promise for a loving, lifelong marriage. Two people, once strangers, combine to form a single team. Over time, that attachment and commitment to each other continues to grow, making them all but inseparable. For some, having children and raising a family is a natural extension of that love and respect. For others, a life shared together without children may be preferred. In either case, from the wedding to the honeymoon and beyond, a lifelong union is possible.

6 Tips For Buying A Wedding Ring December 8, 2008
Posted by Jill Renee in : Jewelry, Wedding Jewelry , 1 comment so farFew men are experts on buying wedding rings. For most men, it’s a process of becoming educated quickly and then searching desperately for the right ring. The amount of money they’re expected to pay for the ring seems fluid, changing each year to accommodate retailers. At the same time, there’s a lot of conflicting advice. In an effort to help smooth the process, making it easier and less stressful, we’ll provide you with 6 quick tips for buying the perfect wedding ring.
Tip #1: Know Your Metals
In the past, most wedding rings were gold and had a golden tone to them. Yellow gold rings are still popular today, but there are other options available. White gold is becoming more prevalent because it allows the stone to stand out. On the other hand, platinum has become increasingly fashionable. It’s more expensive than yellow or white gold, but it’s also more durable.
Tip #2: Know Your Purity
If you plan to buy a wedding ring made from yellow or white gold, you’ll need to understand the purity of the metal. In most cases, gold rings come in 14k, 18k, and 24k. The greater the number of karats, the higher the purity of the gold. 24k gold is more expensive than 14k or 18k. It’s also softer and more prone to becoming scratched.
Tip #3: Know Your 4 C’s
Most wedding rings will have at least one diamond. The quality of the diamond is determined by what are known as the 4 C’s: cut, color, clarity, and carat of the stone. The stone’s cut is what allows the diamond to reflect light. The less color a diamond has, the more valuable it is. Clarity is a reflection of the diamond’s inclusions (or, flaws). And the number of carats is a measurement of the stone’s size.
Tip #4: Take Her With You
The wedding ring that you purchase for your partner will ideally last a lifetime. Many women have specific preferences for the style and design of the ring. Consider taking your partner with you. It may seem less romantic to do so, but it can help you avoid investing in a ring she doesn’t like.
Tip #5: Stone First
It’s likely that the wedding ring will become an heirloom, kept in your family for generations. If you’re struggling to afford an attractive ring, invest more in the diamond and less in the ring itself. The diamond often carries greater emotional significance over time.
Tip #6: Size It Properly
Even though having a ring resized is relatively simple, try to have it sized properly by the time you offer it to your partner when you propose. If possible, borrow one of her other rings and present it to the jeweler for sizing. A poorly-sized wedding ring won’t ruin your proposal, but a perfectly-sized ring will help make it flawless.
Investing In The Ring
A common rule of thumb for pricing wedding rings is to allocate two months’ salary. However, that’s an arbitrary figure. Instead, focus primarily on finding a ring that will match your partner’s style and preferences. While your budget will play a major role in the ring you purchase, other factors are more important. Use the 6 tips described above when shopping. If you do, you’ll be better prepared to identify the right ring, confident that your partner will be delighted with it.

How World-Class Jewelry Thief Was Caught October 9, 2008
Posted by Jill Renee in : Jewelry , add a comment
Since the Middle Ages, Antwerp has stood as the capital of the world’s diamond trade with specialists perfecting the art of cutting and polishing the precious stones. And due to the huge trade that flowed through the city, Antwerp was largely regarded as a pipe dream, the criminal version of the hitting the lottery and with about the same odds of success. Buried in the heart of the city, the Antwerp Diamond Center is locked down in all the right ways. Armed guards control who gets in and out. Movements are constantly covered by electronic surveillance. Keys are monitored. Goods are compartmentalized. Barricades control vehicle access. By all means, the Diamond Centre was the last place anyone wanted to steal diamonds, the stakes were too high.
The School of Turin
A group of largely Italian professional thieves, known as the School of Turin, decided that hitting the Diamond Centre was not only feasible, it was their goal. The group knew that with heightened security and the reputation that the Diamond Centre had, that security at the Centre was likely to have a major vulnerability – complacency. The extreme level of security also meant that the Antwerp Diamond Centre would be no simple smash and grab. No, it would take planning, a great deal of planning. Member Leonardo Notarbatol took an inside job as a diamond merchant, giving the School of Turin unprecedented access to the inside of the Antwerp Diamond Centre and the 160 security boxes of diamonds, jewels, and other riches that it contained. The rest of the team split themselves up and organized by specialties – safe crackers, alarm experts, getaway drivers. The plan started to shape up in a way that would make most Hollywood screenwriters jealous – the School of Turin was turning a job on the Antwerp Diamond Centre into Oceans 11 without the banter.
Breaking In
At approximately 7:00 pm local time, on Friday the 14th of February, 2003, the group known as the School of Turin was beginning the active phase of the largest diamond heist the world has ever seen. Notarbartolo reportedly had remained in the vault that Friday night when the security doors closed automatically at 7:00 pm. Several hours later, the elevator leading down to vault was purportedly used by three other members of the School. The motion detector at the foot of the elevator has already been disabled by an application of spray silicone, and the vault’s light detector had been rendered useless with a simple piece of tape. With all of the prep work done, the School of Turin found themselves alone with the vault of the Antwerp Diamond Center.

A Danforth Diamond Engagement Tale September 4, 2008
Posted by Jill Renee in : Destination Proposals, Engagement Rings, Jewelry, Proposing Marriage , add a commentEvery so often, Danforth Diamond recieves letters from customers who desire to share their engagement experience. When we checked the Danforth mailbag in August, we came across this intriguing tale about a couple who became engaged on the Great Wall of China. The contents of the letter have been reprinted below for your enjoyment. A close up of the ring is below, click the image to view the ring on our site.
Mert and I are now officially engaged! After many pretend proposals, Mert this time pulled out a real ring and proposed to me on my 30th birthday on the Great Wall of China and OF COURSE I said YES! What an amazing day. Mert arranged a private tour of the Summer Palace and the Great Wall, both magnificent places in Beijing! I didn’t suspect a thing, figured it was all for my birthday! He played it cool the whole time.Â
Along our journey of the Great Wall, we reached the 18th tower (out of 20) and I didn’t want to go any further b/c it was hard already, & getting to the last 2 towers was going to be crazy, it was already hard to breathe as it was and we had a LONG way back. Mert and I climbed to the top of the tower, he gave me a hug and I felt his heart pounding like crazy and I said, “why is your heart pounding so hard…we’re definitely not going any further…” then he said “for a good reason”, then said some wonderful things that I will cherish forever and asked me to marry him and pulled out a GI-NORMOUS diamond that he’d been carrying around all day. We shed some tears out of shear bliss and excitement…there was barely anyone on the wall, the first sighting after the proposal was a group of people who turned out to be from NBC Utah…I screamed out “we just got engaged” and they congratulated us and asked if they could interview us for Utah tv…It seemed like all a blur, we told our story while they filmed. After she gave us a business card and we will be able to view it online!Â
I said, “why is your heart pounding so hard…we’re definitely not going any further…” then he said “for a good reason”
We then started our big hike back to the cable cars…they were closed…then we climbed down to the 6th tower, where the chair lift and slide (yes I did say a slide down the hill from the Great Wall, obviously which wasn’t there in the 5th century BC?) were also closed.Â
We were beside ourselves…we would have to walk all the way down the hill down a trail…It had been such a long, exciting, and cardio-filled day and we couldn’t imagine going any further…did I also mention, we hadn’t seen a soul on the Wall for a hour or so…we sat down for awhile, caught our breathe and finally decided to tackle the hike down, then all of a sudden a sweet Chinese man popped his head out and said Ne Ho (Hello)..he worked at the chair lift/slide…we begged (with sign language since they didn’t speak english) and money to let us on either ride down, he asked this other guy..they said no…then long story short Mert showed his Olympic ID (which has gotten him and sometimes me in for free everywhere) and they did some convincing to the people at the bottom and finally they let us take the chair down! they didn’t accept our money…we were pretty thankful and what a beautiful ride down.
What a day, what a birthday, what an amazing life! We both feel so blessed to have met each other and thank God for each other every day!Â
Thank-you for sharing in our happiness!
What a story! You can check out the couple’s video interview on the local news here. If you have a special engagement story you’d like to share, we’d love to hear it. Email us at experts [at] danforthdiamond [dot] com. And be sure to check out our collection of diamonds and engagement rings so that you can find the perfect ring to include in your story.

Is your diamond cursed? August 19, 2008
Posted by Jill Renee in : Jewelry , add a commentIs your jewelry trying to kill you? Read on to find out, but don’t worry. Unless you are spending millions for your next diamond you are probably safe.Man has always had a fascination with bright shiny objects from the heat of fire to the malleable metals that fire can make into beautiful jewelry. And with that fascination is the urge to find the biggest and best – such as these six gems and precious stones.
Unfortunately, some believe these famous prizes may carry their own price for ownership. Looking back at the first appearance and their subsequent journeys has put a question in the minds of the superstitious as to whether they are cursed or not. There is some debate to this day. While myth may be debunked by history, the legend, for many of these gems, lives on. (more…)

Conflict-Free Diamonds, Recycled Rings & Green Jewelry Advice June 23, 2008
Posted by Jill Renee in : Diamonds, Green Weddings, Jewelry, Palladium Jewelry, Q&A from Jill , 1 comment so farI received an interesting set of questions from a concerned gentlemen. I felt sharing my answers would help others who have similar questions about conflict-free diamonds, recycling and other green issues.
Hello, I feel a bit guilty writing to a Diamond jeweler for advice on this subject, but please honor me with a sincere response. I found your contact information on a “Green” wedding site and read a bit about materials and stones.
My dilemma is simple. My girlfriend is very passionate about preserving the environment and has expressed great concerns through out our relationship about sources of diamonds, gold, silver, mining impacts on the environment and every other subject you can imagine on precious stones and metals.
I absolutely do not want to ruin a proposal with a ring which even remotely represents “conflict” in her life. I read a bit about palladium?
Is it manufactured? Mined?
What about alternatives to “true” diamonds? Are other engineered stones appropriate?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Dear Earth Wise Friend,
Your dilemma is not so unusual and I have been wondering what I can do to be a responsible member of our fragile planet in regards to jewelry and diamonds.
Recently, one new option has been brought to my attention. Some jewelry manufacture companies have been using recycled precious metals to make their jewelry. This metal was previously mined and made into jewelry and then remelted and turned back into pure metals to once again be alloyed and used. The challenge here is to choose a responsible refiner who only uses earthwise methods for refining. In the past harmful chemicals were used in this process but now new methods have allowed the refining process to be clean and environmentally friendly.
Palladium is a metal that is also mined from the earth but the company that mines the Palladium that we use is right here in the USA and they are earth friendly. We can also purchase recycled Palladium.
I am making a decision to offer a line of rings that are made from recycled metals only. These rings will require no mining to get the metal. The metal will be totally recycled. I think your girlfriend could feel proud and good about wearing one of these rings.
As far as diamonds go. I am committed to sell only conflict free diamonds from responsible vendors who comply with the Kimberley Process and all of their guidelines.
Another option would be to purchase a synthetic diamond. Charles and Colvard is a company that sells moissanite which is man made silicon carbide that closely resembles a diamond. You can easily research this online. Of course there are other man made options that you could also use.
If you would like to purchase a recycled ring let me know and I can help you with the setting. I only sell conflict free diamonds so I cannot help you with the synthetic stones. Hope this helps you with your decision.
Thank you and Best Wishes, Jill Renee

Stylistic key rings take off in popularity April 7, 2008
Posted by Jill Renee in : Jewelry , add a commentHave you noticed that more and more people are placing their keys on sterling silver keychains than ever before? The popularity of unique keychains seems to be in an upswing right now, as an increased number of people are sporting keychains that fit their personality. Many are seizing the opportunity to celebrate their individuality by picking keychains that match their hobbies and interests.
Some of the more popular keychains resemble animals. Dog lovers these days are quite fond of sterling silver dog keyrings with easy open safety latches. Danforth has a stunning dog keyring available that was manufactured in Italy by a talented keyring artist. The intricate detail of the ring is sure to turn heads. The dog’s head winds around the latch in spectacular fashion, and its eyes, ears, and nose have such exquisite detail that it almost looks like it could come alive and begin asking for pets. The floppiness of the dog’s ears also seems to have been captured well by the artist. The dog’s neck even has a little collar with a metal latch on it.
Maybe you’re more of a duck fan than a dog fan. Danforth has duck keyrings with easy open safety latches too. Not to be outdone by the dog keyrings, the duck keyrings were also designed with lavishing detail. Its eyes and cheeks glisten when light is shined on them, and its beak has the markings of perfection. Most people who place their keys on this keyring are quite satisfied. They find it a simple and effective way to demonstrate their love for the duck population.
Keyrings celebrating sports also make excellent gift items. If you’re like me, you know at least one person who has taken their love for a sport to a near-obsessive level. Let’s say that sport is golf, and that person’s birthday is around the corner. You’ve already gotten them every book on golf worth its salt, they already have enough golf balls, and they don’t need any more clubs. What golf related item can you get them that they don’t already own? How about a sterling silver and heavy rubber golf keychain, which is always a favorite amongst golf fans. Another item manufactured in Italy, this golf keychain is attractive and sturdy. A golf ball screws onto the heavy rubber loop threaded though the golf club to hold your keys firmly in place. It’s the perfect item to accompany you everywhere, especially on the golf course.
True fishing enthusiasts enjoy anything fish related, and fishing keychains are no exception. Danforth has a unique sterling silver and leather fish keyring that should delight any fishing fan if they receive it as a gift. Also handcrafted in Italy, this keyring resembles bait and is extraordinarily detailed. If someone opens a box and finds this in it, the first thing they will likely notice is the extreme attention to detail that the artist put in, and that’s what truly puts this gift over the top in comparison to other fishing related gift ideas. I doubt someone could go wrong if they present this item to a fisherman or fisherwoman.
Finding a keyring that fits a person’s unique personality is the ultimate goal when selecting gifts, and Danforth is happy to aid in this quest. I think you’ll find that it has an outstanding selection of stylistic keyrings, as a well as a wide variety of engagement rings, bracelets and many other jewelry items.
