The Halo Redefined

A Simplified HaloMy love affair with diamond halo rings is never-ending and these three beauties are another example of why!  I am so in love with this Pear Shape, this Princess and this brilliant Oval.

Each ring is crafted to impress with the sparkle and brilliance that only a diamond halo could possess.  Each halo perfectly accentuates the outline of its fancy shape diamond at center.  It draws focus and attention to the stone you’ve spent so much time looking for.

Supporting all these lovely, fancy shaped diamonds are the most classic bands you will find.  Each band is tiffany in shape, high polish in appearance and is as smooth to the touch as they look.  Pairing the diamond halo design with this simplistic band, creates a classic contemporary feel that has my heart jumping.  And better yet, each one of these gorgeous rings is in stock today!

If a diamond halo engagement ring is what you are in the market for, make sure to try one of these on.  It’s a halo redefined and you’ll fall in love with these designs.

The options are limitless, the designs are beyond compare, and the sparkle is simply amazing.  They even come in any color of the gold spectrum from white, to yellow and rose.  Come by our office and check these lovelies out and soon, you too, will be playing favourites!

A Donation to Make a Difference

Canucks Fishing for KidsA diamond can have many meanings over its lifetime but this particular diamond will be known for its charitable spirit.  On Saturday, August 23rd at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia in downtown Vancouver, it was displayed so magnificently and raffled off to raise money and awareness for a very special cause, autism.

It was a lovely evening to kickoff the Canucks Fishing For Kids Tournament, an annual event known to bring together community and business leaders to inspire and encourage charitable giving.  In 2013, over 1.1 million dollars was raised and we hope this year that the number is even higher.  With the astonishing rise in diagnoses of autism, up nearly 78% since 2007 (CDC,2012), it’s a disorder that deserves and needs our undivided attention. We were thrilled to help with our donation of a beautiful 1.00ct loose diamond and proud to be associated with such a dedicated organization.

Monogram Mania

monogram bracelet

I was never the sentimental type until I found the love of my life and we started our family together.  Six years of marriage and three wonderful little boys later, I find myself gravitating towards anything and everything personalized and monogrammed.  There is something to be said for that little feeling I get when I put that special piece around my neck or on my wrist.  A little reminder of my loves to carry with me for the day and something sparkly and stylish to satisfy my taste.  So when I came across this new monogram collection at our office a few weeks ago, I knew I had found my next piece to treasure forever.

Right away, I fell in love with the monogram bracelet.  Everything from the petite chain, to the font style, to the disc shaped monogram was perfect.  I was even happier to find that it was available in any color of gold or silver, and that it didn’t cost a fortune!  I immediately ordered my personalized bracelet in high polish yellow gold with my three boys initials in the center, and 10 days later it was mine.  It hasn’t left my wrist since this day and it will forever be one of my favourite pieces.

The collection also features other beautiful ways to wear this stunning monogram.  The necklace options are abundant and completely timeless and the cufflinks would make a fantastic gift!  There are even stud earrings that are so unique and different.  I would never have thought to style a monogram that way!

Any piece you choose from this collection, I promise you will not be disappointed.  It’s monogram mania at Minichiello’s and I’m right on board!

Arm Candy

arm candyLooking for a little arm candy to sparkle up your summer wardrobe?  Well, look no further as these three bangles might just do the trick!

With everything summer brings like bridal showers, surprise engagements, family get togethers and most importantly weddings, dressing up is almost a daily occurrence.  And to me, the funnest area to dress up is the wrist!  We have a lot of fantastic styles in our counters this summer but I thought these three bangles represent three different looks and three different price ranges perfectly.

Lets start from the bottom and work our way up!  Our Emile Charles, Pod Bangle is hand crafted right here in Vancouver and set in high polish, 14k white gold. It has lovely, colorless, round brilliant cut diamond pave accents and has just the right amount of flex to slip over your wrist.  The bangle at center is our Elegant Diamond Bangle that consists of three amazing rows of the most beautiful diamonds you’ll ever see! It even has a hidden clasp so there is no distracting from all the brilliance and shine.  On top, you may think that you see even more diamonds but if you look really close, there aren’t any in sight.  This beauty is actually comprised of a diamond cut texture that wraps around the bangles entirety giving you a glammed up appearance on an everyday girls budget.

These three bangles are amazing alone but even better together and so classic in style that you will love them forever!

Amazing Aquamarine

aquamarinaAnother amazing standout from this years JCK Las Vegas Jewellery Show is the incredible Diamond and Aquamarine right hand ring pictured here.  I loved it so much that it almost left Las Vegas on my finger instead of in our jewellery order!  Showing great restraint, I decided to put this beauty on display instead of in my jewellery box, as it could overflow if I make any more purchases!

The center Aquamarine is visually remarkable and considerably unique in its form.  It is opaque in appearance and expertly carved into a slightly faceted and cabochon-like form.  This cutting style produces a subtle blue glow which is beautifully highlighted by the micro pave diamond halo.  Supporting all this loveliness is a tiffany shaped, high polish, white gold shank which is just wide enough to provide balance and proportion.

It’s a perfect display of classic styling with a contemporary twist and a welcome addition to our counters this summer!

Be sure to stay tuned as I have more Las Vegas highlights coming soon!

Best in Show

Best In ShowA definite perk to being part of a family jewellery business is being able to take part in some of the most wonderful jewellery shows and conventions around the world.  A personal favourite of mine is the annual, JCK Las Vegas Jewellery Show which brings together the best of the best in jewellery design and loose diamonds and gemstones from around the world.  Every year we are excited to see the new and noteworthy pieces on display from upcoming designers as well as those we have already grown to love and adore.  This year there were many standouts and many brilliant pieces but these gorgeous bracelets definitely won my heart.

The best in show, as far as I’m concerned, has to be these ultra flex, woven bangle bracelets set in a variety of metals from yellow gold, to rose gold, to white gold and even silver.  Each bracelet consists of tightly woven strands that provide just the right amount of flexibility making every day wear so simple and easy.  They can be perfectly summed up as classic with a bit of an edge making them the epitome of style for your wrist.  There is one for every occasion from every day flair to just, plain WOW!  Hands down my top pick for unique style and substance but stay tuned for more sparkly highlights from the show.
