SOLANGE AZAGURY-PARTRIDGE

In 1987, Solange Azagury-Partridge decided to design her own engagement ring - a raw diamond set in a simple gold band. Having had no prior experience, Solange was driven toward jewelry design by the endless numbers of admirers that her ring attracted. Establishing her company in 1990, Solange opened her first shop in 1995. Releasing collection after collection, overtime she became recognized as high-profile designer. Here are a few of her rings that I absolutely adore. By clicking on the captions, you will be redirected to their home on Solange Azagury-Partridge's site. Enjoy!

DOOZY OF A DRUZY

Druzy has become quite a popular commodity in recent jewelry trends. Tiny, bright crystals coating these gems make them appear as if they have been dipped in sugar. This unique look is very distinguishable and highly sought-after. The druzy effect is achieved by rising minerals to the surface of a stone (like quarts or agate) via water. Once the water evaporates, crystallization of the minerals occurs. Often times, designers will dye the crystals or coat them with a metallic or iridescent finish. Elegant and high-fashion, druzy is a personal favorite and a must-have!
