As a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), the young designer discovered his passion for bridal jewelry as an industry. For his own engagement to his would-be wife Tanya, Verragio designed a one-of-a-kind ring, merging his personal passion with his talent in design. This experience propelled his career; now [Veraggio](http://www.verragio.com) is renowned for his vision for vibrant wedding jewelry with a feminine touch. If there is one thing Verragio is synonymous with, it's rings. The designer is famous for inventing a technique for stone settings, called the *Lumino Setting*, which exposes a stone to every facet of light. This is one reason why a Verragio engagement ring sparkles like no other. There are four collections of Verragio rings, all of which boast grace and beauty ## Venetian Collection [![Verragio Venetian Collection](http://www.mervisdiamond.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/a/f/afn-5012_10.jpg)](http://www.mervisdiamond.com/engagement-rings/verragio-venetian-5012-engagement-ring.html)The *Venetian Collection* surrounds [luminous diamonds](http://www.mervisdiamond.com/verragio-venetian-5022cu-engagement-ring.html) with [artfully crafted](http://www.mervisdiamond.com/verragio-venetian-5012-engagement-ring.html) bands of gold or platinum.
