Engagement rings on fingers

Making a Trellis-style Engagement Ring
Ever wonder why some solitaire rings cost a bunch more than others? It's because while it may look like a basic style, sometimes things aren't always as simple as they appear. With any ring, labour is a big factor in pricing - the more hours, the more money. In the...
