Um yeah, that would be eight engagement rings in one photo. Do we have your attention yet? We got to see ‘em all IRL and we’ve got to tell ya: CanadaMark diamonds are even prettier in person. We’ve got all the deets from our visit to the Brilliant Earth showroom here in Los Angeles, a little style guide, the rings on film, AND a $1,000 giveaway! Take a peek below.

Had to set the stage a little. Every CanadaMark diamond is responsibly mined in Canada’s Northwest Territories and is natural + free of any treatments (that are sometimes used to “improve” a diamond). They’re tracked through an audited process every step of the way and polished to meet specific quality standards. Not something you can say for most companies, and so great to know about something that will be your most prized possession forever and ever.

Learning all this only fueled our desire to peruse the selection in person at Brilliant Earth— the global leader in ethically sourced fine jewelry. So we headed to Brilliant Earth for some ring shopping with our good friend Lauren. We each shared our personal styles and left the rest to the experts—they knew exactly which diamonds we’d be into.

Anyone else out there with a modern California style? Maybe with a bit of polish and edge? May we suggest a unique ring set like the Lucy Diamond Ring Matched Set above? It’s sophisticated yet unconventional. With a hint of glamour for good measure!

Jillian has a relaxed modern style with hints of bohemian (exactly why her intimate, beachy Sayulita, MX wedding was perf for her). She’s a no fuss gal—the ring and a necklace is all she needs. If that sounds like you, start with oval, round, or marquise cut diamonds. All modern, relaxed, and did we say stunning?

And if you’re not sure about your style, it’s always a good idea to go get a feel for what you like…

Kristina also has a pretty relaxed California style, but with a bit of a 70s flair. Think worn in jeans, vintage Coach, sundress, freckles, simple gold jewelry, and always sandals. Always. If your style is as laid back as hers, it might be nice to opt for something a teeny bit fancier than you normally would. You’ll get to feel all dressed up when it’s on, which makes it all the more special. Perhaps try a classic round or something a little less common like pear or oval to cater to your adventurous side.
