Brilliant Earth’s new alternative engagement rings and wedding bands are made to be stacked. The 37 pieces in the Ensemble collection are carefully contoured, fitting seamlessly into each other in countless combinations.
The collection comprises 17 nesting stacking wedding bands, six classic wedding bands, and 14 engagement rings, inviting wearers to curate their stacks as they wish. ‘Each style touches on several contemporary bridal trends, from ultra-thin shanks to wider bands, hidden accents, and smooth polished metals coupled with various prong settings, including Brilliant Earth signature Compass Prongs, Flush Settings, and Semi-Bezel,’ says Kathryn Money, the brand’s senior vice president of merchandising and retail.
‘The Ensemble collection reimagines classic bridal trends for engagement rings, wedding bands, and beyond by showcasing minimalist elements with a contemporary design approach. With the new styles, brides are able to enhance their engagement ring through the interchangeable stacking of nesting wedding bands.’ Customers are invited to experiment with how their stacks could look thanks to a new functionality on the website, which makes trying rings on from home a breeze.
When worn alone, rings cut a clean silhouette that can be embellished with other pieces, added as a mark of significant celebrations over the years, making for a chic and affordable engagement ring. Nesting rings look chic by themselves or positioned above or below an engagement ring, their swooping geometric arcs speckled with diamonds. The diamonds, chosen with their ethical credentials in mind, sit on mostly recycled precious metals.
‘Since inception, Brilliant Earth has been dedicated to setting a new standard by leading positive social and environmental change in the fine jewellery industry,’ adds Money. ‘Simply put, Brilliant Earth’s approach to design is transparent, sustainable, and compassionate, and we are committed to creating jewellery that our customers can feel good about.’
