More than ornamental, each piece of jewelry is treated by Sheffield as a precious talisman, imbued with history, alive with meaning, and destined to be passed down for generations. Her brand offers non-traditional fine jewelry and has come to be known for its one-of-a-kind engagement rings.
“One-of-a-kind” means that Sheffield enjoys bringing together extraordinary materials in unexpected combinations — diamonds in rare forms, extraordinary gems from emeralds to faceted quartz, and a custom range of gold colors. “Our designs offer a study in juxtaposition,” reads the brand’s website. “Feminine yet unconventional. Contemporary yet timeless. Each piece an invitation to layer and style together, and to define beauty on your own terms.”
According to Sheffield, her use of unexpected combinations and unconventional stones for engagement rings (gone are the traditional white diamonds), wasn’t based on market research but rather on her own inclination. “I was seeing people enjoying the unconventional jewelry I was making, and I thought why not take that ethos and apply it to ceremonial jewelry,” she notes. “I love the beauty in natural materials and those colored and included diamonds are part of what makes the gems special to me. I also just love breaking rules.”
Born in New Mexico, Sheffield’s childhood in the Southwest has had an enduring influence on her work, setting the stage for a lifelong interest in natural beauty, spirituality, and all forms of art and design—from architecture to indigenous crafts. “I feel like things have a resonant quality to them, sometimes even a sacredness,” says the designer. “I think of these as influences from New Mexico.”
Rendering the ephemeral and capturing the alchemy and energy that bring people together, her jewelry is ideal for wedding season. Ask any blushing bride.

Promise rings signify a less serious commitment than the traditional diamond engagement ring, making them perfect for teenagers. Promise rings fit right into other ways that couples are sharing their relationship milestones like by wearing each other’s class rings and Bond Touch bracelets.

On Tiktok,#promisering has over 268 million views and the rings used range from plastic rings to traditional bands to ones that look like engagement rings. They’re usually more lighthearted than full-on engagement rings and which finger they’re worn on varies. But most TikToks show the promise ring being worn on the left ring finger, mirroring an engagement ring.
When it comes to promise rings, it’s not about the material used or the cost of them, it’s about the commitment and what they signify to the people wearing them.
What do you think of promise rings? Would you wear one?

But after many months of this new regime, we can all agree that we miss the dress up part and we’re curious to see what are the latest fashion trends when it comes to work outfits.
No outfit is complete without some jewelry, and if you’re currently lost among all the different trends you see online, here’s how to make the decision a bit easier. The way we see it, there’s one jewelry trend that sets you apart from the rest and is everything you need to look put together on the next Zoom call or when you finally start going out—chunky gold rings.
Gold-colored rings that aren’t too dainty are a statement piece that looks really great with blazers, dresses, elegant blouses, or anything else you may wear for work. They are so easy to combine with clothes and will emphasize your elegant hands in a beautiful way.
