Unique Engagement Ring Settings | Robert Pelliccia Designs

Do you know exactly what you want in an engagement ring but haven’t seen it anywhere? – Unique engagement rings are a huge passion for us here at J.R.Dunn Jewelers. We are one of a handful of jewelers in the country who are actually able to design and manufacture platinum engagement rings from scratch right on our premises. Our studio team headed by award winning designer Robert Pelliccia utilize artistic ability, state of the art technology and old world craftsmanship to create the ring of your dreams.

How does creating the ring of your dreams work?

It all starts out with a beautifully rendered sketch to bring your ideas to life. The next step is to recreate the sketch in 3 dimensions on our sophisticated CAD software program. We then export the CAD file to our RTM machine which creates a wax model of your uniquely designed engagement ring with unmatched precision. If the model passes our strict quality control standards we then proceed to create the ring using lost wax casting methods. Once we have the rough casting, the engagement ring is hand polished, assembled and last but certainly not least the diamonds are carefully set by our artisans.

We look forward to making your dreams become a reality at with a spectacular engagement ring setting at JRDunn.com.

Jewelry Trends 2008 | Final Report on JCK Las Vegas Show

We’ll finally it’s over. Our team spent an unbelievable eight days on the the trade show floor finding just the right fine jewelry pieces and swiss watches to load up our showcases for the fall.

In my last report I noted organic jewelry as being particularly strong and this definitely was the case. But by the end of the show jewelry featuring black diamonds, black onyx or black sapphires stole the show. The designs were refreshing, avant-garde and even reasonable in price to boot. We started showing this a little bit last fall but this year it is going to be even bigger and the styles are traditional enough to last for some time to come.

Another emerging jewelry trend that we spotted was the combination of rose gold and white agate. I think by the time the New York show rolls around the Italians will be producing this look in full swing. It is so perfect for summertime wear, and once you see the pieces featured on JRDunn.com you’ll know exactly what I mean.

I just can’t wait till we get our new goodies in and hopefully our clients will be as thrilled as we are! And if there is anything else you’d like to see either in store or on our website please let us know!

Warm regards,

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Married?

Mariah was reportedly spotted wearing a 10 carat pink diamond ring with Nick by her side while promoting her film “Tennessee” at Tribeca. If the rumors are true this will be the second time Mariah has married and the first for Nick Cannon. There is a nasty rumor going around that Mariah’s new ring is the exact same diamond engagement ring that Nick gave Selita Ebanks while the two were an item. A close source quickly squashed this rumor and said while the rings were both from Jacob and Co. Mariah’s ring was completely custom created by Nick and Jacob from scratch. We wish Mariah and Nick the best of luck now send us some wedding pictures!
