Maybe you’re thinking about making a change in your life, about opening another chapter in your life’s story. A proposal is a huge moment in anyone’s life, and the perfect ring only makes that big moment that much more special.

Sapphires are a naturally durable stone, making this a wonderful stone for daily jewelry wear. Resistant to scratching and chipping, a sapphire is perfect for an active individual who values beautiful jewelry and insists on having the best of both worlds. ...Read more »This entry was posted in: engagement rings , gemstones , sapphires , birthstones , gemstone information , wedding traditions

July 13, 2020It’s been an odd year for all of us. Concerts have been canceled, sporting events postponed, even major life events put on hold. Even the U.S. tax deadline has been extended (to July 15, so if you haven’t filed yet, get those taxes submitted!) And like everything else this year, some tax returns have been delayed, which has given plenty of people more time to think about what to spend that return on. If you haven’t considered it already, invest in jewelry! From buying quality pieces that become heirlooms to investing in ever-changing gold to creating a special surprise moment in life, investing in jewelry can bring a multitude of benefits. Let’s take a closer look at some great reasons to consider ...Read more »This entry was posted in: engagement rings , diamond engagement ring , gemstones , information about , Day's Jewelers

December 06, 2019Considering a romantic holiday proposal this winter? A colored gemstone engagement ring may be a great option for someone looking for something different, and these stones often make affordable alternatives to diamonds. Day's can help you create the ring of your dreams by combining a mounting with a loose colored gemstone of your choice, or select a finished ring from our in-house collection. Keep a few things in mind when you're shopping for a colored gemstone engagement ring: The “wear-ability” of the stone is crucial. Center stones that are recommended as engagement rings should have a hardness of 7.5 or higher on the Mohs scale. This includes: Sapphires or rubies. Corundum has a hardness of 9.0 and is the hardest of all colored gemstones. Sapphires are a great option as they come in a variety of colors, including blues (in various hues), blue/green, pink, purple, green, yellow, and peach/orange. ...Read more »This entry was posted in: engagement rings , wedding planning , wedding ideas , winter wedding , wedding , gemstones , sapphires , rubies , information about , gemstone information , gemstone facts , Day's Jewelers , maine jewelers , 2020 trends , engagement ring trends
