Plum Magazine Photo Shoot with Lisa Pliner and Ring Finger Studio

I don't want to give away too much, but we outfitted Lisa Pliner (Donald J. Pliner's wife and fabulous shoe designer herself) with some outrageous jewelry for a recent PLUM magazine photo shoot.  I'll be sure to post the pictures once the magazine comes out!  Look for the jewels.

My favorite dress from the shoot, a Prada "lip" dress.

Sneak peak...we were in the process of unwrapping them so they're difficult to see...sorry! Vintage emerald pieces, a hand made antique cameo necklace...just the beginning.

Also, look at the amazing Lisa Pliner shoes I picked up at the recent Donald J. Pliner Spring Soiree!

Don't make plans next week and if you have some, you may need to break them!!

Next week we have two VERY significant, VERY important events coming up.

On Wednesday, we have Social Esquire's relaunch event.  If you don't know who Social Esquire is, you should.  They are 3 intriguing young women.  The 3 successful lawyers find the time around their careers and families to run their boutique event company together.  As I was saying, on Wednesday, they will be holding their first EmpoWOMENt event which will benefit organizations that directly impact women.

We obviously LOVED this idea and fully support Social Esquire's vision and you should too!

RFS and our conflict-free diamond rings will be present.  Make sure to RSVP at rsvp@socialesquire.com.  We would love to see you empoWOMENing :) 

Secondly, for all of our friends, other wedding vendors, and most specifically all those women who just recently got engaged, clear your schedule for Saturday, February 26.

Shiraz Events is putting on, Ask the Experts 2011, Bridal Trends, presented by Town & Country Magazine.  They are flying in some of the top industry experts to speak with all us about popular bridal trends in invitations, design, food, fashion and more.  The Saturday afternoon event will take place close to RFS, in the beautiful courtyard at Villa 221.  This is sure to be incredibly beneficial to vendors and brides alike.

We will actually be the ONLY vendor there featuring engagement rings and wedding bands!!  We are TERRIBLY excited and of course, we would LOVE to see you here too!  Make sure to RSVP at rsvp@shirazevents.com!! Most importantly, do not hesitate to share this event!

Like we previously mentioned, we love learning and interacting and attending/participating in events like these!  Make some suggestions!  

Hope to see you all next week!!

Rare and Unique in the world of Engagement Rings.

For an upcoming article on RFS, I was asked today what makes us "rare and unique".  What seemed that a difficult thing to condense into a sentence or three, actually proved to be fairly simple.

It made me realize how truly rare we are, and it made me proud of RFS.  Thanks for indulging me and allowing me to share this.

"We are the only jeweler to focus solely on engagement rings and wedding bands, which we really feel are the most important and pivotal pieces of jewelry in our lives.  Ring Finger Studio is also unique for utilizing conflict free diamonds and recycled precious metals.  We look beyond the obvious symbolism of an engagement ring or wedding band and ensure that the underlying symbolism is in tact by sourcing materials and producing the rings ethically."
