Ring of my dreams.

Just FYI.

Put a Ring On It

When it comes to engagement rings, it really doesn't get more iconic (or lust-worthy) than Tiffany & Co. When I was invited to stop into the Beverly Hills store to preview their new engagement ring collection, I happily obliged.

The Bezet Collection offers a deviation from traditional classic engagement rings: modern, clean and simple. The eye-catching cuts (princess, round, pear and heart) are flushed flat to further show off the clean design.






Maybe not my personal style at all, but for the right girl, this collection definitely stands out from the rest.

Dear Fabulous File...

So, call me crazy, but I really don't want a diamond engagement ring. I'm unsettled by what it represents, how it contributes to a negatively capitalistic cycle and would have no peace of mind if I knew there was even an possibility of someone suffering just to put something shiny on my finger.
That being said, I'm looking for conflict-free, non-precious stone engagement ring options.
Any ideas?

Dear Cara,

Kudos to you, citizen girl! This question threw me for a loop for a second, but I recently came across Dawes Design (www.dawes-design.com), a designer who is committed to using only recycled gold and conflict-free stones in his designs.




Best of all, the pieces are subtle, special and meaningful. Perfect for you!
(P.S. The second you get a ring on that pretty little finger of yours, I expect a phone call!)
