Best Engagement Rings of 2016 - The Top 20
It’s officially the final countdown. In the last month, we’ve been busy walking down memory lane with our favorite…
Gabriel & Co. engagement rings
And
Today, we send off 2016 with the very best overall – our top 20 engagement rings of the year. This year was amazing for us: we saw a lifelong dream come true by opening the best bridal-ONLY jewelry store in South Florida. We hear over and over again that our clientele came to our sparkly new showroom just because they were looking for a jeweler that sold only engagement rings and wedding rings. We narrowed our focus and it created something bigger than we ever could have imagined – 2016 was a great first year for DBRL (we’re coming up on our official one year anni!)
And for Raymond Lee Jewelers, 2016 brought the prestige of becoming our family business’ flagship store. The original, time-tested and trusted for more than 30 years, still remains Boca Raton’s go-to jeweler for buying and selling pre-owned luxury watches, estate jewelry, BIG diamonds, and designer estate labels like Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., Cartier, David Yurman, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
So today, as we count down the hours to 2017, we’re also counting down our favorite rings from both DBRL and RLJ. We've excluded the rings that already made the lists above - there were a few! But luckily we have 365 days of gorgeous rings from both stores to choose from. Here are the top 20 engagement rings of 2016.
1.This trio of East-West A. Jaffe engagement rings took our breath away.
