Short stories and guides for Hartford, from our New York office.
For more than a century, Hartford has been known as the Insurance Capital, home to companies whose business is understanding risk and value.
An engagement ring deserves the same care. Schedule it on your policy or insure it on its own, and keep the IGI report and your 2N invoice together: they are the documents insurers ask for. Every 2N order already travels fully insured to your door.
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 Elizabeth Park, Bushnell Park or Heublein Tower, Talcott Mountain.
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.

Size at room temperature, late in the day. Fingers swell in Hartford’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.
