This MiaDonna Princess cut Wedding Ring set was created from scratch including all CAD imagery and wax molds for a recent customer. The center stone is a 1 carat Princess cut Simulated Diamond Hybrid™. The rest of the ring including the Princess cut side diamonds are natural diamonds. The design we received from the customer required 3mm side stones and our hybrids only go as small as 4mm. This however, gives you a very clear look once again at how well our Simulated Diamond Hybrid™ compliments natural diamonds. Our lab created diamond infused hybrid is with out a doubt the most realistic, natural looking simulant ever created. We used 14K Eco friendly recycled white gold to create the piece detailed with light mill grain work. There is a total of 1.20 carats of natural diamonds on this ring.

Here are the rings in their hand crafted wax molds.

Here is the finished, one of a kind, Three Stone Wedding Ring set.

Anna-Mieke,

I would like to say that I absolutely love my ring!! I heard about your company on the radio about a year or so ago and fell in love with your mission. A couple months ago my boyfriend called to order my ring and I was very pleased he was able to speak to you directly. Soon after he proposed and I have never seen a more beautiful ring!! I get compliments on it everyday! Thank you so much for the care and dedication you put into MiaDonna!! You are an amazing person with an amazing gift!!

Warmest Regards, Anna-Mieke Anderson

Last night was another heart felt addition of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. The Montgomery family is a family committed to helping others even before they help themselves and created a charitable non profit called Salt&Light. The Family has fed and clothed a tremendous amount of people. Ty, Johnny and the rest of the design team stepped in and gave this family a much needed home improvement and gave the very business they operate the tools and supplies it needed to keep up with the overwhelming demand for food and clothes coming from within their community. During the episode Johnny said something that I thought was particularly relevant to the very thing he and ourselves are trying to do here through The Greener Diamond and through the sale of the ENOUGH! shirts. Johnny said “The purpose of life is a life with purpose” and we could not agree with him more. Celebrity guest Sara Lee, Rocko DiSpirito and Oprah chef Art Smith joined in to help with the makeover. Keep watching EMHE this season as Johnny will continue to wear the ENOUGH! shirt to support our cause The ENOUGH! project. 100% of the proceeds from the shirt will go to our current project of regenerating an abandoned diamond mine in Sierra Leone while training former child soldiers themselves to do the work. To catch up on Johnny and The Greener Diamond have a look at our Greener Diamond section on this blog.

MiaDonna & Co. and The Greener Diamond are also working with Global organizations like Youth Action International and its founder Kimmie Weeks on The ENOUGH! project. Please get your ENOUGH! shirt today and help us in achieving our goal.

MiaDonna is now using Soy Ink’s in all its printed materials. Including all informational documents, advertising literature, brochures and catalogs. There is an indisputable fact that Soy Ink is an incredibly healthy when compared to traditional inks, is earth friendly and is an affordable option that perfectly matches the MiaDonna product line and our company commitment to the earth.

The overall benefits of Soy Ink are quite impressive and soy ink in itself is a renewable resource. Soybeans are readily available at low costs and Soy Ink is considerably low in VOC’s (Volatile Organic compounds). Nearly half of the Soy beans being produced require no additional irrigation and by simply growing, during there life cycle, they will temporarily reduce carbon dioxide and green house gases.

Some additional benefits that we receive by switching over to Soy Ink is a lower overall cost, Incredibly Vibrant colors, Low Rub-off, its laser proof and is stable. Even if you remove the idea of being green or creating any kind of sustainability, Soy Inks still make good business sense. We are adding this resource to our company in order to become more earth friendly, sustainable and environmentally aware of our products, process’s and daily business practices. We are excited and will continue to look for many more green Eco friendly resources.  Here is a link to our informational source if you would like to read more on the benefits of Soy Ink. Soya.be

This is the Tyra Solitaire Engagement Ring. It was not named after Tyra herself even though we have been on the Tyra Banks show. This Engagement Ring was created in 14K Eco friendly recycled gold and has 1ct of accenting diamonds on the band. The center stone is a 3 carat Cushion Cut Simulated Diamond Hybrid™. We do offer a matching Diamond wedding band with the Tyra to complete the Wedding Ring Set but show it her by itself. Just as we can change the Simulated Diamond Hybrid™ center stone to accommodate any MiaDonna Cultured (Grown) Diamond and Gem we can also swap out the diamond side stones for any stone of your choice including adding our incredibly fine CZ if you wish to lessen the overall cost or simply get rid of the earth mined diamonds to make the entire piece completely man made. In the past we have also had customers customize this ring to only hold half the accenting diamonds.
