You cannot talk Bridal without talking Diamonds, and IJ Gems sells Diamonds! Due to IJ Gems ability to work with numerous diamond vendors, IJ Gems can locate The Diamond for You, not just any old diamond, but one that makes your statement, in your price range and quality. Here's the deal, the diamond trade is a trust trade, and those who have been in the business a long time, have the Diamond seller's trust. IJ Gems has that trust due to the Family Tradition that is the foundation of IJ Gems. If you price a diamond somewhere, make sure that you really are getting what they say you are getting (grading for the 4 C's is more art than science). See us at IJ Gems and we'll do everything we can to make your purchase a better one for you, and if we can't, we'll tell you the honest truth. Visit the Diamond page for further Diamond information.

ArtCarved Bridal
ArtCarved: A Distinctive Heritage Of Innovation Since 1850
Over a century ago the skilled ArtCarved artisans created the first seamless wedding rings- allowing for greater comfort of fit. Innovation continued with the introduction of "carved" wedding rings opening up a new world of design detail and styling.
But it wasn't just the rings that ArtCarved changed. As soldiers went off to WWII ArtCarved popularized the dual ring ceremony so that both spouses could have a symbol of their love and commitment. This 'new' tradition has become the standard for how people now symbolize the meaning of 'I do'.

Click the ring to go to the Camelot website
Since 1936 Camelot has been creating beautiful, comfortable rings designed to last a lifetime. Our company policy has always been to produce every aspect of every single piece of jewelry we make. Almost every manufacturer relies on "outside" sources for labor or material, but you can be assured that your Camelot ring was made, in its entirety, in our Union, NJ factory. Our rings are designed and made in the USA to critical quality standards. Your Camelot ring is warranted against any imperfection in design or workmanship. Our written warranty also assures you of metal content as well as carat weight of the diamonds. All Camelot diamond rings contain stones graded according to the strictest GIA (Gemological Institute of America) standards. Most Camelot rings are die struck. Die striking produces a ring with unparalleled durability, comfort and crispness of design. The design is stamped onto the metal under several tons of pressure creating a harder gleaming ring that will retain its beauty for a lifetime. This difficult manufacturing process is a lost art at most jewelry companies. But not at Camelot. Our Engagement rings feature die-struck prongs that ensure that the metal holding your diamond will be able to withstand the wear and tear of everyday life. What could be more important than securing your diamond? Most Camelot two-tone rings are multi-piece rings and not one-piece rings that are plated to create a two-tone appearance. At Camelot multiple pieces of different colored gold or platinum are assembled and then fused together, making them one ring that will retain their two-tone appearance for a lifetime. Camelot creates rings that not only look beautiful on the outside but also feel comfortable on your finger. Most Camelot rings are designated as Comfort Feel. We make a ring Comfort Feel by the "inside rounding" of the metal that is touching the finger. Camelot uses only "fresh" gold unlike other companies. This helps create a ring that polishes brighter, holds a diamond more securely and never appears dull. All Camelot rings are hand finished in our factory here in the USA. Camelot offers rings in a variety of metals and colors. Camelot rings are your symbol of eternal love and commitment to each other. Take your time and explore the choices that are available to you. Click the ring on the left to visit the Camelot website.

ANDREA CANDELA
Nearly seventy years ago, the Candela jewelry house was founded by the three Candela brothers in Valencia, Spain. The company name was Candela Hermanos, and it quickly became one of the world's largest manufacturers of karat gold jewelry in that region. For several generations the Candela family has been at the forefront of European jewelry design and manufacturing.
The success of Candela is credited to the expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. The name “Candela” is synonymous with fine Spanish jewelry. With this heritage, it is no wonder that daughter Andréa, was inspired to create the Andrea CandellaCollection of fine jewelry.
In 1979, Candela Hermanos expanded to the United States under the name Candela Jewelry Inc. Andréa, while still involved in the family business, passed design responsibility to the design team in the United States to carefully analyze the markets worldwide. Today, Andréa Candela brings customers beautiful jewelry that is universally acknowledged to be among the most innovative and finest available.
The new design team brings a modern focus and highly desired perspective to the collections while carrying on timeless traditions of early Candela creations.
Holding true to its tradition of quality and design, the Andréa Candela designer brand was created in 2004. Inspired by the beauty and heritage of Spain, a magnificent collection of jewelry incorporating sterling silver, 18kt gold, exotic genuine gemstones and fine quality diamonds proudly carries the Andréa Candela name. Andrea's passion for color exuberates through each hand picked diamond and gemstone chosen exclusively for their quality and hue.
Identifiable by the unique Armadillo finish and rope edge design trademarks, Andréa Candela is headed towards the forefront of the jewelry industry incorporating “Old World” craftsmanship for today's fashion forward woman and man. First introduced at Vicenza Oro in January 2005, Andréa Candela is sold exclusively in fine jewelry stores and upscale department stores world wide.
