The Rin G A REFLECTION OF YOUR LOVE BY CHIP BELTINCK, JEWELER AND OWNER, SAWYER JEWELERS ON O

S erving the community and surrounding counties for over 75 years, Sawyer Jewelers has seen many trends in ne jewelry come, go and return, especially with engagement rings and wedding bands. Over the last decade, white gold has been the most desired for brides-to-be; however, a shift has occurred over the last two years. Rose gold, mostly forgotten about after World War II, has been revived as one of the newest trends with the current generation. But don’t count yellow gold out – it’s coming back hot! While the traditional diamond engagement ring has little competition, colored precious gemstones have become popular. ‹e most desired cut continues to be round, with oval cut a

close second, especially amongst the current generation, and pear-shaped coming in third. When considering lab-created or treated diamonds and colored gemstones, use caution. Just because it ’s blue doesn’t mean it ’s a sapphire. When shopping for an engagement ring, we recommend nding a reputable, independent jeweler who can serve you for generations to come without sending your prized possessions o-site for repair. And remember: the key to a ring’s longevity is routine maintenance. An engagement ring is a very personal item and should reect your love and her style. Do not take what she desires lightly – it’s extremely important to her. A reputable jeweler can make any cut beautifully, so don’t shy away from the one that most represents her uniqueness. ®
