Hi Cakies! Jillian here. Last week I popped into a Jared jewelry store in Cerritos, CA to get my nails done by Olive & June and try on pretty diamonds. I’d say it was a pretty good day. From the moment I walked into the store, it was clear the staff took great pride in their diamond assortment, and were eager to share their latest collection Chosen by Jared.
The Chosen by Jared collection is so unique. I’ve never seen a jewelry store take the time to really educate the customer through the process of where the diamond starts, at its roughest form, all the way to the finished gem in such a romantic way. I know when I received my engagement ring, many moons ago, it was really important for me to know where that diamond came from. I love how Jared took it a step further by documenting the diamonds journey in a hand-bound keepsake book you’ll receive with every purchase.
As the staff explains, Every love story is unique. And at Jared, we believe her engagement diamond should be just as uncommon. Every one-of-a-kind Chosen diamond is as rare as it is beautiful, with a journey only Jared can share, from the rough stone to the ring she’ll wear forever.
It might be hard to tell in this picture but each of the diamonds below tells its own unique story. Once you’ve chosen your diamond, they’ll help you create the ideal ring by marrying your loose diamond with a beautiful setting. It could be a luxury design from their collection, an heirloom you bring to them, or even something they custom design just for you. Your final ring will be expertly crafted and can be guaranteed for life. I was truly blown away by this concept of personalization for your fiancé. It would make for such a heart warming proposal.
Jared also has an amazing assortment of engagement and fashion rings from designers Vera Wang, Neil Lane, and Le Vian. I mean, it’s never to early to start thinking about anniversary diamonds, right? Below were a few of my favorites!

Whether you’re looking to find the perfect diamond, setting, or to customize your own engagement ring, Jared truly has something for everyone at every price point. I had such a lovely experience with the store and their staff. Now I just need to convince my husband I need a diamond for our 10 year wedding anniversary, which is just around the corner!!!
Thanks, Jared! xo, Jillian
