Grace Kelly: emerald-cut enchantment
Starlet. Oscar winner. Fashion icon. Mother. Literal, real-life princess. Grace Kelly was the master of playing multiple roles—both on screen and in her day-to-day life. She was the “it-girl” of her generation, with her carefully polished looks, immaculate hair and makeup, elegant posture, and sophisticated styling truly establishing her as a style icon. In contrast to many red carpet moments that favor glitz, glam, and drama above everything else, Grace Kelly’s personal style was, more than anything, about timelessness, minimalism, and unparalleled elegance. Perhaps it was this effortless, classic beauty that first drew Prince Rainier III of Monaco to the starlet during the Golden Age of Hollywood. After a whirlwind romance, and a heartbreaking decision to leave acting behind permanently, Grace received a spectacular Christmas gift from Prince Rainier: an offer of marriage presented with one of Cartier’s most iconic engagement rings. Grace Kelly’s engagement ring featured a large emerald-cut center diamond framed on either side by a baguette accent diamond. Take up the mantle of Hollywood’s first true princess and channel all the classic grace (pun definitely intended) she espoused with a three-stone emerald engagement ring like the Deutsch Signature Emerald Cut 3-Stone Rings Semi Mount. Crafted by our in-house designers at Jewelry by Deutsch, this emerald-cut engagement ring semi-mount comes with a variety of customizable options. You can, for example, choose between options of 14k and 18k white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold metal settings as well as platinum. Customize the size of your accent diamonds and, of course, peruse our catalog of loose diamonds to find the perfect center stone for your engagement ring. After all, what could be a better fit for the queen of your heart than an engagement ring suited for a princess?
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: green with envy
Fashion history’s most iconic engagement rings each have an equally fascinating story behind them, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ ring is no exception. Before the days of pink pillbox hats and White House historical preservation documentaries, the New York native was a burgeoning equestrienne, writer, photographer, and polyglot, known for her unusual beauty, distinctive fashion sense, and sharp wit. When John F. Kennedy first met Jackie, he was immediately entranced. Within months, he had proposed; she, on the other hand, held off on giving him an answer for a few months because she had journalistic duties and had to cover the coronation of Elizabeth II. Still, after the coronation passed and once she had returned stateside, Jackie accepted Jack’s proposal—and the beguiling emerald ring he selected for her. Inspired by his beloved’s love for emeralds, JFK chose an Art Deco-style engagement ring featuring two center stones: one 2.88 ct diamond and one 2.84 ct emerald. And so, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier became Jackie Kennedy: first lady, fashion icon, and beloved figure who pioneered 1960s style. Embrace the elegance of emerald engagement rings with the Kwiat Colombian Emerald Ring with an Oval Emerald, a Kwiat marvel set in 18k white gold. True to Kwiat’s brand dedication to sourcing only the finest, ethical gemstones on planet Earth, this halo engagement ring features a flawless Colombian emerald center stone mined from the Muzo and Chivo mines in Colombia—mines known for having the most intensely and vividly colored emeralds in the world. Enhancing the emerald’s captivating beauty is an angelic halo of white diamonds, which invite light to play with the emerald, bouncing off the diamonds encircling it in a sensational interaction of color and brilliance. Going green never sounded so good.
