Pyramid Theme

Triangular motifs are spilling over from fashion silhouettes into diamond shapes. Trillion-cut diamonds are showing up in traditional styles (think three-stone rings) and fashion-forward- looks alike, in both big and small proportions. The tri-pointed diamonds are understated and unexpected—and are growing in popularity. They’re the perfect choice for the collector looking to make a minimalist mark.

Inside Job

ColorMasters’ newest eternity band line, dubbed Everband, has familial roots. Cofounder Joe Mardkha has been adding a diamond to the inside of his wife Rinat’s band every year for the 28 years they have been married. Once sons Dan and Ben learned of it, they spun the super-sentimental idea into a division. Retail prices start at $600 for a 14k gold band with an inset diamond, and consumers can expect to pay about $100 a year for add-on stones placed inside or outside shanks.
