Jennie Kwon Engagement Rings & Wedding Bands
While there is certainly something to be said for big honking diamond engagement rings, there is also something uniquely appealing about engagement rings that take the “less is more” approach. One designer, who has absolutely nailed this look? L.A.-based designer Jennie Kwon, who recently launched a new collection of dainty, delicate engagement rings and wedding bands. “We wanted to create pieces that reflect our clean, elegant yet modern aesthetic,” says Jennie, whose designs are sold at Barney’s, Catbird, Twist and other discerning retailers as well as in her online boutique.

Glistening with rose-cut diamonds, and the most understated, elegantly proportioned metalwork, the options are perfect for modern romantics with minimalist leanings. Fine Jewelry editors everywhere—and hopefully many, many brides getting engaged in the near future—have fallen in love with the designs and I have to say, I’m 100 percent on board. And do you what the best part is? If you’re looking for affordable engagement rings, you’ve kind of hit the jackpot here (prices start at $795).
