Monday's Must-Have

Vintage Inspired Engagement Rings

We are quickly approaching the holiday season and we know there are going to be a lot of you getting engaged. So now's the time to start thinking about the ring. 

We are loving the simple beautiful vintage styles of Dousset Diamonds

Dousset Diamonds, founded by Los Angeles based jeweler Jean Dousset in 2005, features a collection of timeless, sophisticated and ultra-feminine engagement rings, wedding bands, and earrings inspired by pieces of the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s.

With a rich history as a descendent of Louis Cartier, Jean Dousset acquired his skills as a jeweler and mastered his art of gem selection while working at Chaumet and Boucheron in Paris and then Van Cleef & Arpels in Beverly Hills.  His name quickly came to fame as he designed the engagement rings for Eva Longoria, Amy Adams and Candice Crawford.

Here are a couple of rings we love, along with a few other must have accessories.
