CAN’T-MISS COLLECTION
A Delicate Touch
Santa Rosa, Calif.–based designer Jennifer Dawes is known for colorful gemstone pieces and engagement rings that team chunky diamonds with rustic-feeling gold designs. Dawes created her latest collection, Dainty Diamonds, “as an answer to my retailers requesting that I create bridal pieces for under $3,500,” she explains. The shrunken engagement styles pack all the charm of Dawes’ larger diamond designs, but are accessibly priced from $2,000 to $3,500. “I love the delicate nature of this collection,” Dawes says. “It’s perfect for stacking and collecting.”
