Jeff Cooper has been designing rings for the past 40 years. Jeff and his son David lead the label as a team, always staying true to the vision that beauty means a refined, classic look.

You can tell a Jeff Cooper ring by its simple, clean lines and precise, enduring style. The perfect way to describe this designer is "polished." The guiding philosophy behind many of the designs is to keep each ring looking pure, without any distractions, so that the true beauty of each stone, as well as the high quality of each metal, will shine through. The company accomplishes this by making each piece of jewelry individually, by hand. This method is successful--each piece looks like a treasured family heirloom.

Engagement Rings

Jeff Cooper engagement rings range in price from around $1,600 to $9,000, but the vast majority fall in the middle of this spectrum at about $4,000.

The epitome of the stark, stunning Jeff Cooper ring is the R-3272 engagement ring. The solitaire diamond looks clean and radiant, the hallmark statement of this designer.

Want more sparkle? This designer caters to more sumptuous tastes as well. Consider the R-3267 engagement ring (pictured at right), with 12 carats of diamonds, which run along the band and highlight the center stone.

For the best of both worlds, try on the R-3149/P diamond ring. The bezel set princess cut diamonds are gorgeous and elegant.

Wedding Rings

Jeff Cooper wedding bands follow the same design principals: classic, stunning, and tastefully executed. In this collection, wedding rings range in price from  $1,700 to $18,000 (though the majority hover around $4,000 in price).

For her, the Jeff Cooper tradition of clean-cut lines and traditional style continues with the R-2974/B wedding ring (pictured at right), a gorgeous, channel set style. Other styles include the R-3021 wedding ring, noteworthy for its beveled edges and round cut diamonds within the band. The thin band of the R-2931 wedding ring has a graceful delicacy that cannot be matched.

Jeff Cooper's signature statement for men's wedding rings is the grooved wedding band. In his Eternal Collection, Jeff Cooper adds .45 carats of diamonds, just enough to give this look a new energy. If you want a straightforward, solid wedding band, look no further than Jeff Cooper's R-2995 with a satin finish.

Your wedding ring is most likely the one piece of jewelry that you wear every day. This is the symbol that you and the one you love have a special bond. A wedding ring is a special circle that is unbroken by anyone else. The engagement ring was the first sign of love, but a wedding band is the compliment that shows you both will live happily ever after.

When selecting a wedding band you have to consider personality, style and what you do every day. Channel set wedding rings are a wonderful way to incorporate style instead of simply choosing a plain band. With channel set wedding rings, diamonds flow in a channel around the band. The diamonds are safely set in the ring and are not separated by bits of metal. With this type of setting, you can create an intricate and smooth design.  

For the Traditional Couple

The Delicate Hand

Delicate hands call for a delicate ring. Just as some women do not think that pearls should be worn by women who are under forty, a delicate hand may not be the right platform for a big ring. A delicate ring with grace and beauty is the Tacori 41-1.5 Wedding Band, pictured here. The hand-engraved eternity crescent band is perfect for someone who works as a dental assistant or nurse and has to wear gloves all day because the ring is smooth to the touch without raised stones that can get snagged on things. The channel set ring is intricate, beautiful and smooth. 

The Artist

Not all couples want the traditional band. Something striking and unique is what this bohemian couple should choose. Remember, just because you prefer to make a statement with something different does not mean you do not deserve diamonds. The Jeff Cooper Curved Wedding Band, pictured here, with channel set round and square diamonds could be perfect for you. The smooth curve in the channel set ring shows that you are up for anything and can roll with whatever comes your way. Show the world that your love, your life and your diamonds are unique.

The Lucky One

If you and your mate are a perfect match, your channel set wedding rings should reflect this. An engagement ring that is perfectly hugged by the band is like the bride and groom always hugging. No matter how far apart the two of you are, every time you look at your hand your ring will be a symbol of the warmth you share. The Tacori 2576 B Wedding Band , pictured here, is a countered band with pave and channel set diamonds.

Diamonds Upon Diamonds

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. So, why not have lots of them? Channel set wedding bands lend themselves well to stacking. Stackable rings are in style, now and always. The brilliant cut stackable ring will look brilliant on your hand.

The Perfect Channel Set Wedding Rings

Only you can pick the perfect rings. When you have picked the perfect partner, ring shopping is the fun part. Let your ring symbolize your love. 

In 1921, Martin Flyer arrived in the US from Russia at only 14 years old. Twenty years later, after working as a jeweler and cultivating his expertise, he launched his own fine jewelry brand, called Designs by Martin Flyer.

It was a point of pride that Flyer worked not only as the director of his business, but also as its head jeweler. He was also renowned for his works of charity throughout his lifetime.

Flyer continued designing jewelry until he was 87 years old, though he remained involved in the company he built from the ground up until his death until 2001, when he was 94 years old. Today the brand honors Flyer's memory with pieces that celebrate its founder's exquisite taste and passion for gorgeous pieces, especially in bridal jewelry.

Martin Flyer rings utilize Hearts and Arrows Ideal Cut Diamonds, meaning that only the most precious metals are used  in design, and that every piece is artfully crafted by hand. Another special feature in this brand is the FlyerFit band, ensuring that rings fit perfectly and do not need to be resized. 

Five Style Options For FlyerFit Rings

Classic

What could be more iconic for an engagement ring than the VS07CU, pictured here? The halo of diamonds around the center stone (boasting .15 carats) is an elegant look for an elegant lady. FlyerFit classic styles can be more ornate or more understated, so explore this collection to find the perfect match for your loved one.

Pair these engagement rings with a FlyerFit classic wedding band to complete that classic look. 

Vintage

For a timeless style ring with the FlyerFit promise, you want the Vintage FlyerFit ring. Pair it with an iridescent wedding band for the full effect.

For Him

The Him collection (including this great band pictured here!) is stylish and masculine, providing high quality materials and timeless style in its wedding bands.

Simplicity

Simple enough: Simplicity is beauty. A solitaire diamond and on unembellished band is a graceful statement of your eternal love. Match this ring with a wedding band with a similar philosophy.

Perfected

You know you want the perfect engagement ring--prefect stone clarity, perfect band, perfect fit. As always, this Martin Flyer collection promises all of the above.

Sometimes you see the right wedding band, and you know it is the Perfect expression of your love.

Engagements and weddings are important life milestones steeped in tradition and etiquette. One such tradition relates to the placement of wedding and engagement rings on the bride's ring finger.

It’s customary for brides to receive two rings. An engagement band before the wedding, and a wedding ring during the ceremony. Your first ring is a promise of marriage. The second solidifies the promise. Sometimes knowing which one goes where can be a bit confusing.

Day of the Wedding

On your wedding day, you should switch your engagement ring to the third finger on your right hand. During the ceremony, your future spouse places the wedding ring on your ring finger. The custom of the third finger on your left hand being your ring finger originated in Egypt, where people believed the vein in that finger led directly to your heart. By placing the wedding ring on that finger, the groom ensures that it is in the position closest to your heart. Yes, definitely romantic!

 
Engagement Ring Etiquette

Once you’re married, tradition dictates that your engagement band be moved back to the third finger on your left hand. When you do so, your wedding ring should remain closest to your heart (where your spouse placed it on your wedding day) and your engagement ring is placed next to the wedding ring.

Some women choose to ignore ring etiquette, and instead infuse their own style on the custom. Some variations on the traditional ring placement include:

• Continue to wear the engagement band on the right hand 
• Forego wearing the engagement band 
• Weld the rings together 

Regardless of how you choose to wear your ring, the most important thing is that it be comfortable for you and sized properly.

Follow Tradition or Become a Trailblazer

Years ago, it was tradition for a man to purchase an engagement ring with a diamond setting. However, times have changed. Other precious stones are also acceptable on an engagement ring.

Another tradition is for you and your spouse to have matching wedding bands. For instance, if you have a gold wedding band, then his would be gold as well.

Many couples are choosing to incorporate their unique style with traditional ring etiquette.
There are no rules for most faiths on how to wear wedding rings. Whether you want to become an engagement band trailblazer or stick with tradition is up to you. 

Engagement and wedding rings are more than beautiful, sparkling pieces of jewelry. They are symbols of your love and future and should be treated with care and respect.

After years of explaining to clients the benefits of purchasing an eternity band and also weighing the cost associated with adding all those diamonds, I decided that for myself, I wanted an eternity band. It's a great option because you will always have diamonds showing.

Your wedding band will naturally spin on your finger. As you wear your engagement ring during all that wedding planning and showing it off to your friends you may tell yourself, this never spins around so why would my wedding band? I want you to think of why your engagement ring doesn’t spin. First of all, why would you let it spin around? You always want everyone to see that sparkler! And with that rock on the top, once it turns about a quarter of the way in either direction your other fingers will actually prevent it from turning to the bottom. So why would you let your wedding band go in hiding??



There are plenty of options for how many diamonds you could have around your ring. Most designers will accommodate your preference of diamonds half way around, three quarters or even 90% of the way around. The benefit of going partial is that you can have your ring resized in the future. There are some designers that offer a great exchange program for your eternity band so you can trade your old size for the new one for a reasonable fee. Some others are not as accommodating. You will want to ask your salesperson what future options you may have. I have had quite a few clients who were stuck on a tight budget and went with the half way option and upgraded to eternity for a future anniversary.

This is a purchase that you should really think long and hard about. This is your ONLY wedding band, so ask yourself while planning that budget… Are those flowers going to last forever? Is that upgraded cake really worth it? Should you buy those super expensive invites, programs, place cards and thank you cards that in the long run get thrown away? Your wedding band is FOREVER. Rethink that wedding band budget and ask yourself – will spending that extra money on a quality wedding band that you love be worth it 50 years from now? How do you want your wedding day to be remembered? Looking down at that ring every day after you are married will be the best reminder of why you got married in the first place. Make your wedding band something that you love just as much as the memory of the day you walked down the aisle.
