“Climb toward your hopes, and fortune will be waiting at the top.”
Charleston is served by our Chicago office, one of our three with New York and Portland, Maine, and every 2N piece is bench-made in New York. Charleston sits on the Kanawha River among the hills, and it values things that are made to last. So we answer with documents rather than adjectives: an IGI report for every diamond, photographs of the exact piece, and a price at least 45% below boutique.
Choose a finished Signature piece that ships as shown, commission an Atelier piece in your metal and size, or design your own through The BESPOKEN Atelier. Behind all of it: access to over a million diamonds, held to our house standard of Ideal cut with Excellent polish and symmetry.

Short stories and guides for Charleston, from our Chicago office.
The West Virginia State Capitol, designed by Cass Gilbert and completed in 1932, is crowned by a dome covered in gold leaf above the Kanawha River.
Gold is still the heart of fine jewelry. Choose 14K or 18K yellow, white or rose gold for a made-to-order piece, bench-made in New York and delivered to Charleston fully insured.
Spring and autumn are the easiest seasons for an outdoor proposal; summer evenings work well once the heat of the day has passed. Here, we would look first at West Virginia State Capitol, Haddad Riverfront Park or Kanawha State Forest.
Whatever you choose, plan the ring first: order a few weeks ahead, or a little more for a piece made to order, and our concierge will time the insured delivery so it arrives with days to spare.
A ring that fits on a humid August afternoon can feel loose on a cold January morning. Size at room temperature, late in the day, and if you are between sizes, our concierge will help you choose.
Through the seasons, low and bezel settings are the most practical for daily wear, while a high, open setting shows the diamond at its brightest. Either way, a quick look at the prongs every few months keeps the stone secure.

Yes. A lab grown diamond is a real diamond, the same carbon crystal with the same hardness and fire as a mined stone. Only its origin differs. Every 2N diamond is graded and certified by the IGI, and the report travels with it.
Our house standard is Ideal cut with Excellent polish and Excellent symmetry, and every diamond is IGI certified. With access to over a million diamonds, we can find the stone that fits your shape, size and budget.
Size at room temperature, late in the day. Fingers swell in Charleston’s summer humidity and shrink in winter, so if you are between sizes, our concierge will help you choose. Atelier pieces are made to order in your size.
