Beer, Rings and Wings, January 13, 2011

The morning after has arrived and I would definitely deem Beer, Rings and Wings, our event on how to buy an engagement ring, a complete success!  If you hadn't heard, the invitation to the event that RFS put on last night is above.

Some chicken wings and a couple beers into the evening our guys tested their diamond knowledge, learned  some tips on where to start and some questions to keep in mind when engagement ring shopping.

A casual setting at Buro Miami in Midtown, where our studio is located, allowed the guys to get comfy, ask a lot of questions  and be very involved in discussions with the RFS team.

One lucky guy even brought home a $250 gift certificate he can use towards an engagement ring at RFS!

A special thanks to Miami New Times, Urban Daddy and Soul of Miami for featuring our event on their websites.

Wait one second, you're shopping for a ring (or know someone who is) aimlessly? And you didn't know about last night!?  Not to worry, we will hold more informative events very soon.  Send us your email address to info@ringfingerstudio.com and we will make sure you are personally invited.

Send us your Men!!

The holidays are upon us, literally.  Here in South Florida, they sneak right up on you.

We want to let you know that after all the presents are opened, champagne bottles are popped, and leftovers are gone RFS is having a small get-together for those guys that didn't get their act together in time for this year's holidays.

Come, have some beer, wings, and settle down to a comfortable evening with (or without) your friends to learn about diamonds, and how the heck you go about choosing an engagement ring!
Devoted girlfriends, you are MORE than welcome to accompany your guys or you can simply send them to us so you can be sure he does it right.

                                  YOU ARE INVITED!

THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS FOR THE MEN ONLY:

Did you run out of time?  We understand it's hard enough to Christmas shop for her but you want to propose and you don't know where to start.  You ask your other married or engaged friends where to go and end up with 7 different names, because everyone's "got a diamond guy".  Which isn't actually helpful at all.  You still feel COMPLETELY confused.  You've never bought jewelry, and this is a BIG one!

We have an EASY resolution for you AND your (semi-deliquent) friends that are in the same boat.  You should all resolve to get educated on engagement rings and start looking, NOW.  Face it, if you want it to be a good year...the easiest way is to make her happy!  You can thank us for your relationship bliss, later.

THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS FOR THE WOMEN ONLY:

We are here to help.  If you sig other drops the ball through the holidays and by the new year you haven't picked up the title of fiance yet, send him to us!  No need to drop any more hints.  We will walk him through finding/creating the perfect ring for you.  We PROMISE to help.

Love is in Miami!

Oh wait, you live here? In South Florida?!  You saw the 'Love is in the Air' package and thought we forgot you?!  Don't fret my pet!  We, first and foremost, want to take care of you, that's why we moved to Miami!

We also offer a package called 'Love is in Miami' for those of you that will not be flying in from far, far away but we do want to make choosing the ring a special, very personal experience for you and your other half.

'Love is in Miami' offers you a luxurious suite in downtown Miami's Viceroy Hotel, bottle service alongside their infinity pool 50 floors up at Club 50,  meals in their fine dining establishments, treatments in their 28,000 square foot full-service spa, and a private viewing and design consultation with Tara Rose and the RFS team to create the perfect engagement ring in the privacy of your suite. 

Sounds like the perfect plan, right?  For additional information and pricing, please call (786) 888-4515.

Things are finally starting to settle down for RFS in Midtown.  We had the grand opening party, got Rachael on board, got home for the holiday, and made it through our first Miami Beach Art Basel (which we will do a full RFS adventures through Basel blog post this week).

Art Basel Kick Off with RFS

We’re back!

Back from NY and we’ve already attended our first Art Basel event, Gold for Life. To attend Gold for Life you could just give a standard donation or you were able to donate your old gold jewelry as your donation to the Art Basel kick off party. After our donation, we walked through a bevy of clipboard carrying, shimmering, young women that directed us to the “backyard” of the “venue”, which was a Palm Island mansion (if your in the market, its available through real estate big shots The Jills), where there were PLENTY of glittering Art Basel lovers, artists, socialites, and golden painted and bikini clad women surrounding a mosaic tiled pool littered, if you will, with paintings and surrounded by art! We were able to meet with a couple of the featured artists. There were a couple small jewelry vendors, complimentary 42 below cocktails, much needed espresso, and Sephora goodie bags on the way out.

The golden event benefited “A Gift for Life”, which funds research for pediatric cancer founded by Paula Roldos and “United Aliens Artists” fund which teaches art to underprivileged children around the world, founded by Olga Ortiz Mera.



All in all we officially have our first Art Basel event under our belts and will be checking out the International Vanity Fair party/reception tonight at the MoCa to let everyone know about RFS!
