Piece of the Week: Todd Reed’s Double Diamond Ring
Two center stones are better than one in this breathtaking engagement style.
Mixed metals? Check. A rustic, handwrought feel? Check. Fantastic natural color diamonds? Double check.
This dreamy “Piece of the Week” ring sports all the hallmarks of Boulder, Colorado-based designer Todd Reed, who has perfected the art of the earthy-yet-elegant jewel.
We think this style makes an ideal engagement ring for a bride who loves jewelry and eschews all things cookie-cutter. The 18-karat yellow gold brings out the warmth in the two trillion-shaped natural color diamonds, weighing a total 8.70 carats, while a sterling silver with patina accent and a 0.66 total carat weight assortment of white diamonds provide contrast.
Plus, surely the joining of two individuals in matrimony is best symbolized by two center stones, as opposed to one. It’s a trend we would love to see take off.
