Given the fact that the price of a diamond engagement ring competes with a downpayment on a luxury car, I was looking for the next generation of engagement rings. The average solitaire, halo and so on were not cutting it. When I found Encore I did not even bother looking through their designs (I had already seen hundreds before visiting them), so I emailed them asking for the next cutting edge engagement ring design. They responded quickly, offering a few Italian rings, a floral engagement ring, a few unique side stone designs and a couple of two stone engagement rings. I have never even heard of a two stone engagement ring. We corresponded on some additional questions I had on the metal and diamonds. In the end I got this design in 18k rose gold with VS2 diamonds all around. Excellent ring and excellent job by Encore, guiding me through the process.
