Tis the Season For Giveaways!!!
With Holidays just around the corner, where engagements abound, we’ve teamed up with Timeless Designs and Cly Creation Photography to bring you a Lovely guide to all that sparkles and a behind the scenes look into how these breathtaking engagement rings are made!
First, a little background. Timeless Designs is a fine jewelry manufacturer based in the heart of New York’s diamond District that specializes in engagement and wedding bands. Their rings are all handmade and completely customizable. We got a first hand look at just what goes into making these beauties, and here’s what we found:
Each ring starts with the customer, that’s you! Once you determine the style of ring that you love, Timeless Designs can then make the same ring ten different ways, customizing the side stones and diamonds to your preference. Customers are given countless options. One customer added their initials to the side of the ring, while another sent in a photograph of a design element that they loved, and it was incorporated it into the ring for them. Gentlemen, this comes in handy when you can’t find exactly what you’re looking or. Timeless can make it for you!
After customers specify what they want, the CAD designers work on bringing it to life by drawing out the ring in a sketch. From there, the ring is then transformed from sketch to reality and made into a wax form. The wax form is then sent to the casting company to be cast and then finally returned back to Timeless Designs where it gets sized, has the stones chosen and placed into the ring, and gets engravings.
The final steps are a polish, cleaning, and quality control to ensure that each ring leaves the shop just how the customer wanted and, with a sparkle that will catch anyone’s eye!
A big thank you to Timeless Designs for sharing their process with us and giving us a factory tour. We had so much fun! And, a very big thank you to Cly Creation for taking all of the absolutely stunning photographs and listening to us swoon over every piece!!

LOVE THIS NECKLACE! It reminds me of the beautiful, octagon floor tile in the 1940′s half bath of my marital home!
This necklace is made using great craftsmanship, as evidenced in the article above about Timeless Designs and their processes. Wearing it every day would be a great reminder of the endless circle of love you have with a significant other, friends, and family.

Ohhhhhh… pretty! I love how it is simple, modern and elegant all at the same time.
I love this necklace because it’s simple enough to wear everyday and with any outfit, but unique enough to be an eye catcher. Love CLY!
I love all things that fit into the following catagories: 1) classic and 2) different. Bingo! This is both. An octagon pendant is not something you see everyday. It says “stop and look at how I sparkle and how gorgeous I am!”
I only have one word for that necklace PERFECTION.
I love the shape of the pendant, I’ve seen how it looks on and is absolutly perfect!
I am so GAGA about this gorgeous silver necklace with octagon pendant from Timeless Designs because not only is it beautiful, it’s remarkable shape & look is so unique from any other necklace. I love how that every Timeless Design jewelry is hand crafted to fit their persona and taste of the designer/customer. The designs shows the lovely hard work they put into it. If I was to win this necklace I would wear it because the eight sides of the octagon resembles the crazy 8 most significant loved ones in my life including the man I love; that are intertwined and connected together in my life. The necklace is very classy, very elegant, & very simple that I would wear it with anything/any day/anywhere!
Simple, yet gorgeous. I think it’s about time I own a piece of real jewelry!!
Classy. This necklace is a statement of simplicity mixed with excellence. The octagon shape is just enough to keep the eye focused and intrigued with the corners.
