Once upon a time, many people proposed to their partner with their grandmother’s engagement ring. There is something to be said for the family tradition. However, whether or not you inherit a piece of traditional jewelry, there is something unique and personal about a modern, handmade and personalized engagement ring.
“Bold and beautiful; modern and contemporary,” says the website of award-winning jewelry designer Cornelis Hollander.
The Scottsdale, Arizona-based company has four decades of awards and testimonials for its spectacular engagement ring designs.
“Our diamond rings are exceptional because they are made exclusively for the wearer, making them unique, memorable and personal. Your ring is the ultimate storyteller of your style and commitment,” according to Cornelis Hollander’s son, Walter Hollander, who inherited the company from his father.
Cornelis Hollander’s modern classics include styles for all tastes, for example:
– Strong yet sweet: the Burcht setting features an arch of pavé diamonds that sits beneath a precious metal bridge that holds a stunning center stone.
– Clean and classic: The Een is a bestseller with its clean surroundings and timeless appeal.
Four elongated prongs showcase a center stone, with two additional diamonds on each side, plus a row of diamonds set along the band.
– Ultra modern and avant-garde: the Kader pushes the limits of audacity in jewelry, perfect for those who embrace the unexpected.
The ring features a thick channel that holds a stone off-center in a way that maximizes its brilliance.
– Perfect fit: The Zwaar is “our boldest and most beautiful setting,” according to the company’s website.
The square design can accommodate most gemstone shapes, and a center stone between two walls that allows the matching wedding ring to slide down the middle for a unique statement piece that catches the eye.
Plus, if you want to design your own modern and original engagement ring, the team at Cornelis Hollander can help you make his vision a reality.
Any Cornelis Hollander design can include moissanite or diamond as the center stone. The company remains in the hands of the Hollander family, and all designs are made by skilled craftsmen in their studio in Scottsdale, Arizona.
