Choosing an engagement ring setting is one of the most exciting parts of creating a ring that feels personal, meaningful, and timeless. Two of the most loved engagement ring styles are the solitaire engagement ring and the hidden halo engagement ring. While both are elegant and versatile, each offers a different look, feel, and level of sparkle.

Choosing the perfect diamond begins with selecting the right shape. While many people use the terms diamond shape and diamond cut interchangeably, they refer to two different characteristics. Diamond shape describes the outline of the stone, while cut refers to how well the diamond has been faceted to maximize brilliance.

A diamond pendant necklace is one of the most personal and versatile pieces of fine jewellery you can own or gift. It sits close to the heart, catches the light with every movement, and speaks volumes without saying a word. But before you fall in love with a specific stone, one question tends to stop people in their tracks: what’s the right diamond size?

Shopping for an engagement ring has changed. You no longer have to walk into a store, sit across from a salesperson, and choose from whatever happens to be in the case. Today, you can build the ring yourself online, at your own pace, with full transparency on every option and price.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or searching for the perfect gift, knowing what to look for can make all the difference.

Here are the most common mistakes people make when buying diamond jewelry online—and how to avoid them.

At Jacob Mercari, we love natural diamonds for exactly that reason. They are not just stones. They are stories you can wear.

When it comes to meaningful gifts, few things carry the same emotional weight as diamond jewelry. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, holiday, milestone, or a “just because” moment, diamonds have become one of the most powerful symbols of love, commitment, and lasting connection.

At Jacob Mercari, we’ve built our studio on the belief that the most meaningful jewellery tells a story. Birthstones are one of the oldest ways to do exactly that. Whether you’re designing a custom engagement ring, a gift for someone you love, or a personal piece for yourself, choosing a gemstone tied to your birth month adds a layer of intention that a diamond alone simply cannot replicate.
