Valerie Madison Jewelry

Price Range: $1,023 – $9,825+

We like to take into account where our own experts – our beloved writers & editors – are sourcing their own timeless engagement & wedding rings. When one of our own recently started shopping Valery Madison stole her attention.

Her colorful gemstones, hammered gold bands & whimsical style are like catnip for us wedding editors. While I can’t stop staring at this Marisol Ruby Halo Ring (it reminds me of a vibrant, modern pink version of Diana’s engagement ring) ultimately it’s her opalescent diamonds that stopped us in our tracks.

If you’re a geology nerd like us, you’ll know that while opals are stunning, they’re not exactly meant for “stand-the-test-of-time” jewelry pieces. Valerie Madison Jewelry’s opalescent diamonds achieve that same misty, milky look of opals but with the sturdy hardness of diamonds. Not only are they a practical design, but a wholly beautiful sight to behold!
