Loose Diamonds A wonderful way to choose your engagement ring is to customize it!  By this, we mean for you to choose your very own loose diamond, then take that stone and place it in the mounting - also of your choice.  Whether your favorite is a traditional shaped stone such as a round or princess cut or a fancy cut such as a radiant, emerald cut, or even heart-shaped, we will have them all.  Not only all shapes, but all sizes, too, and for every budget.  We'll even be showcasing a four carat diamond to admire and purchase, of course, if that's your size!  With colored diamonds being so in vogue and popular right now, we will also be featuring these as well. Diamond Engagement Rings In our Concord area, we find that the average engagement ring choice is a round diamond, ranging in size from a three-quarter carat to a one carat, with a 14K white gold mounting.  Styles of the mounting that are most popular are still the halo and the solitaire.  Three-stone rings are also running close behind.  Brides who choose a solitaire often add a wrap or a guard for a wedding band to create just a little more bling on their finger.  At the Spectacular, we will have all of these styles to try on.  Our largest selection will be in white, but for the show, we are bringing in many yellow gold styles, as we find that is increasing in popularity.  The same is true of rose gold, which is also a beautiful choice.  No worries at all if you like a style in a different color gold than we have on hand.  It's just a simple custom order for you! Wedding Bands We enjoyed meeting so many brides and couples at the recent Bridal Show at the Cabarrus Arena in February.  Many of them, expectantly, had their engagement rings already, but many did not have their wedding bands yet.  Our show is an excellent opportunity for these engaged couples to take advantage of our wide selection and special offers to pick their wedding rings.  Often times a bride's engagement ring may be hard to fit to a wedding ring.  At Ellis Jewelers, we have so, so much experience with these tricky rings.  We will be sure to find just the right wedding band to fit your ring and put a smile on your face.  We also will not neglect the grooms!   Gents bands have really gone wild with selection.  There are so many available now.  We will have an array of metals with all types of intricate detailing and finishes to try on. Come on down and visit us at the store and check out our incredible rings and stones.  Also, don't forget to preregister at ellisfinejewelers.com for that $500 gift certificate chance.  Someone has to win!  We'll also have other exclusives in the store - pearl earring giveaways, terrific coupons toward the purchase of your rings and more!  We'll go the distance to to advise you on all your options and put that smile on your face!  See you Friday and Saturday!
