NK13889-W Profile

There is no commitment greater nor stronger than that of true love. When you have found the one person you want to take that monumental step with, you know. In the time of the Renaissance when marriages were arranged for political and practical reasons, the notion of marrying someone purely because you love them was revolutionary. It is with that notion that the Renaissance Collection was created and NK26640-W, this classic engagement ring, was designed.

The most monumental moment in your life together needs a ring to match, make it Natalie K.

NK26640-W is the ideal engagement ring to define all of the aspects we hoped to inspire the Renaissance Collection with. It’s a timeless and decadent style that shimmers, crafted with 14k white gold and sparkling with 40 round cut white diamonds. Your diamond center will dazzle in the prong setting, allowing light to filter through every possible facet. Even more light is reflected by prong set diamond side stones that flank either side of the sparkling center. But the crowning center is only further enhanced by the unique split shank band and the scroll-work profile. With delicate curves and curls the profile adds just the right amount of romance and vintage elegance. This is the kind of style that endures, and will impress and dazzle from the moment you say “Yes!” through your 50th wedding anniversary and beyond.

Trend Report: Unique Shanks

December 27, 2013 Jennifer

Engagement rings are not only a sparkling trinket, they are an expression of love and a piece of your personal history, as such they should be as unique as the story they tell. There’s no such thing as a cookie cutter bride, so why should you settle for a cookie cutter ring. Find a ring that has more to offer than sparkle. We want you to find a ring that speaks to you and of you. This week’s featured rings are just a bit out of the ordinary, but with Natalie K’s signature sophistication. It’s their one of a kind shank designs that set them apart from the rest of the crowd.

Split shanks are a great way to add interest instantly to any diamond engagement ring. But don’t for a moment think there’s any reason for you to have to stick with the traditional parallel split shank. NK28520-18W, offers a very modern split shank, mimicking the curves of the diamond halo and round center. The split shank looks like a single bent strand of diamonds, creating a visual illusion making it appear as if the center is floating in its halo between both points.

Add even more intrigue with a spiraling shank. NK25362-18W has a diamond shank that stands out, softly twisting and curling inward towards the prong mounting, giving the center an appearance of a windswept diamond. Our rings, being customizable, can be adjusted to feature any diamond center stone. Just imagine what kind of an impact a princess cut diamond could make surrounded by the 45 diamonds on this 18k white gold mounting.

If however, you’re looking for something less subtle NK26232-W is the right engagement ring for you. The spiraling shank with twists and turns, in NK26232-W, transforms into a spiraling halo, glistening with 53 diamonds and making the center the center of attention.

With so many choices in engagement ring designs there’s no reason to find anything less than extraordinary.

Trend Report: Split Shank Engagement Rings

December 6, 2013 Jennifer

Every week we try and help make buying your engagement ring, just a little bit easier. We’ve shared the meaning of a three stone engagement ring and the warm glow of our rose gold collection, this week’s #FashionFriday trend report is all about split shank engagement rings!

A split shank is a design element of the engagement ring’s band. Rather than a sleek or single band the split shank, is as it implies, a split band. For larger center stones or heavier center mountings the double bands can also help to support the weight. While the most popular split shank style is wide at the top and then tapers at the ends like NK28085-18W, there are countless variations you can find.

See NK26156-W, a split shank engagement ring as well but with a completely different look. Instead of the tapering down of the band this appears as two parallel bands. A much more modern silhouette, and appearance.

A favorite is a split shank with an additional sparkling characteristic, a nestled side stone diamond set between both arms. NK23466-W is an example of this unique element. Pave set diamonds shine along both arms leading up to the four prong head and two prong set round cut diamonds.
