My First Editorial for the Wedding Ring Book is live!

For the most part, my writing over the past few years has been focused on the trade. So I was really excited when Nicole Bromstad asked me to do an editorial on bridal jewelry trends for 2014, to be featured in the 2nd annual edition of The Wedding Ring Book. The magazine is geared towards couples researching engagement & wedding bands and will be distributed to top independent retailers as well as online. I loved researching & selecting some of my favorite pieces I've seen at shows and online (maybe I did miss my calling as an editor despite how much I hated temping at Conde Nast back in the day?!?) 

In any event, here's a link to the online version of the magazine, my article is pp 55-59. And here are a few of the pieces I selected that didn't make the final cut:

For the Bridal Party gifts section, Nishi Jewelry “Bar” necklace in sterling silver, customizable with any date or name, up to 8 characters.

Also for the Bridal Party section, BG Art Atelier sterling silver “BKLYN” cufflinks.

For the Engagement section, Ken & Dana Design “Emmanuelle” engagement ring shown with “Cara” wedding band, both available in recycled platinum or 14K gold, featuring conflict-free oval and round brilliant-cut white diamonds.

For the Bridal Jewelry section, Jade Trau “Stiletto” hand chain in 18K rose gold featuring round, brilliant-cut white diamonds.

Also for the Bridal Jewelry Section, Yvel white baroque freshwater pearl necklace with yellow gold accents.
