Seven Carat Six Prong Round Engagement Ring

Gold is in Her Diva Era (and Honestly, Same)

First off, if anyone is interested in more details on the 6 prong round ring above, here is a link to it. The header photo doesn't have a way to add a link, which is just silly. 

Let’s be honest — everything’s expensive lately. Coffee, rent, your favorite lip balm(I just might have a lip balm addiction so this is not good lol). And yes, gold and sterling silver have decided to join the VIP section, bottles and all. But before you think, “Maybe I’ll just wait to buy that necklace…” — hold that thought, gorgeous. Because this price spike has an upside, especially if you’re the kind of person who believes your jewelry should say something about you.

Gold and silver are a little high-maintenance right now — no shame, same. Global demand, economic jitters, and supply-chain plot twists have sent metal prices soaring. But here’s the twist: your existing jewelry (and any fine pieces you buy now) are quietly turning into treasure chests of cha-ching.

That dainty gold necklace you wear with everything? She’s not just a fling; she’s long-term relationship material. And if she’s designed by real artisans (hi, that’s us 👋), her worth runs deeper than the market.

Yes, materials cost more lately. But that also means:

What you already own is growing in value. Pricey gold = your jewelry just leveled up in the “investment piece” category.

Artisan pieces hold emotional currency. You’re not mass-buying what thousands of people wear. You’re choosing craftsmanship that doesn’t come from an assembly line; it comes from human hands and artistry that care how it makes you feel.

Customization gives you the power. Because we design and craft everything ourselves, we can adjust details, scale, and metal weight — meaning you still get luxury-level sparkle without the scary price tag. No middlemen, no “retail showroom tax.”

Your purchase keeps artists thriving. When you buy from an online artisan jeweler like us, you’re not padding a corporate CEO’s yacht fund. You’re keeping a real small business owner doing meaningful, meticulous work. (And honestly, that’s way sexier than buying mass-produced bling.)

Online = intimate + sustainable. Without storefront markups, we can source higher-quality materials and put more love (and fewer logistics) into your jewelry. That’s less carbon footprint, more sparkle footprint. Yes, that's cheesy but figured I'd roll with it. lol

✨ Let’s create something amazing together. Request your custom design consultation today and partner with us to bring your dream piece to life — because luxury isn’t just about what you wear…it’s about how it makes you feel.

One other thing to note, moissanite and lab created diamonds have come wayyyy down in price, so that definitely helps a bit with offsetting higher gold and sterling silver pricing. There's an upside to everything!
