We love your love! That is why we have decided to reach out to a few of our amazing Kasia Family members, new and returning, to tell their stories. Love is powerful, beautiful, diverse and worthy of honoring through your unique story. By sharing these openly with you, we intend to spread joy in a time when we need it the most. We understand the privilege it is to be a part of your story, and we hope the sincerity of these couples will reflect the very special relationships we aim to have with everyone who walks through our doors (whether in-person or virtually).

Next up, we have Aubrie & Jordan. Two adventurous spirits whose story of love and reconnection is sure to inspire! 

When did you know that your partner was THE ONE?

When we decided to rekindle our flame after not speaking for nearly two years; I knew he was the one. We had been through so many ups and downs that I knew if we could make it through all that, then we could make it through anything together. 

What is one thing you love about your significant other?

He is the most trustworthy person I know! Trust is so essential in a relationship and I just know that I can always count on him. He has been there for me time and time again.

What is an activity you love to do together?

We are big adventure buffs! We love snowboarding together in the winter and camping in the summer. Our love of getting outside often takes us to some incredible places. 

How did you two meet? (Give us as many details as you’d like!)

We went to high school together oddly enough and had lots of mutual friends. At age 19, in our first years of college, we started dating. We were on and off for many years as we grew up. After college Jordan took a job in Arizona and I started a restaurant in our hometown in New Jersey. There was continual heartbreak over those years, but in 2019 Jordan was faced with a decision. He could either marry his Australian girlfriend so she could stay in the USA or let her leave. The ultimatum allowed him to realize that our love story was not over yet. In 2020 I moved to Arizona, we bought a home, adopted a dog and started our life together! 

How did he/she propose?

We went on a trip with my family to the island of Holbox in Mexico. It was gorgeous and we decided to watch the sunset and get some photos. While we were walking into the water he popped the question and we had the most amazing sunset, and popped champagne of course! The rest of the trip was pure bliss. 

How does Kasia Jewelry fit into your story?

I wanted a wedding band that went perfectly with the amazing engagement set that Jordan proposed with. When I found the Kasia Cara band, it was the perfect compliment- something modern but still timeless! I have always loved fashion so I knew I wanted diamonds that were trend-focused, but that I would still love for a lifetime.

Next up, we have Kate & Bethany. Two creative souls whose hearts merged during the most serendipitous time! 

When did you know that your partner was THE ONE?

Bethany: Cliche, I know, but from the moment we first kissed I knew I wanted
to be with her forever. Being with Kate just makes me feel like home, and I
feel so connected to her that it seems like we have known each other for a
lifetime.

Kate: Sometimes you meet someone and there is just kind of “a knowing.” I
have always felt magnetized to her presence and I think we were always
meant to find each other eventually. We used to joke in the beginning that
we were on the same wavelength, but I do believe that to be true. I feel
the luckiest in life to have found someone that understands without needing
to explain, joins me in my humor and allows me to show up as the most
authentic version of myself.

What is one thing you love about your significant other?

What is an activity you love to do together?

Kasia has always been inspired by nature and as Earth Day approaches, we would like to reflect on the natural wonders that surround us. From towering mountains to vast oceans, the Earth is a true marvel. One of the most stunning examples of natural beauty lies beneath the planet’s surface: gemstones. These remarkable stones are formed deep within the Earth and are a testament to the incredible forces of nature. In this blog post, we will explore the formation of five natural gemstones that you can find within our collection - emerald, tourmaline, aquamarine, and sapphire - along with their unique qualities.

Emerald: A Precious Gemstone from Ancient Times

Let's start with one of the most recognizable and valuable gemstones - emerald. Emeralds have been cherished for centuries for their range of vivid green colors, from light tones such as that of our Esmeralda ring (pictured below, right side) to deep hues like the one seen in the Medium Diana ring (pictured below, left side). These variations in color are caused by the presence of chromium and vanadium.

They are formed in metamorphic rocks, which are created when rocks are introduced to intense heat and pressure. In the case of emeralds, the rocks that produce these precious stones are typically shales, marbles, or schists. The process of emerald formation begins when magma rises from deep within the Earth and heats up the surrounding rocks. This then causes the rocks to transform, which then creates cavities or fractures in the rock. As the magma cools, fluids containing the elements needed to form emeralds seep into these fractures and cavities and over time, these fluids crystallize, forming emeralds.

Emeralds are found in many parts of the world, including Colombia, Zambia, Brazil, and Zimbabwe. 

Tourmaline: A Colorful Wonder of Nature

Tourmaline is another gemstone that is loved for its array of colors; even the name itself comes from the Sinhalese word "tura mali," which means "stone with mixed colors". This stone can be found in shades of pink, red, green, blue, and even black.

Tourmalines are formed in a variety of ways, including through igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary processes. The specific conditions under which a tourmaline is formed are what determine its color. For example, green tourmalines such as the Brazilian tourmaline center stone of the Eunice ring (pictured below, left side) are formed in igneous rocks that contain a lot of iron, while pink (Suki ring pictured below, right side) and red tourmalines are formed in metamorphic rocks.

These stunning gems are highly valued by collectors and are a favorable alternative engagement ring center stone due to their hardness!

Aquamarine: The Stone of the Sea

Aquamarine is a beautiful blue-green gemstone that is closely associated with the ocean; its name means "water of the sea" in Latin. If you know us, you know the ocean in particular holds a special place in our hearts with our Cardiff showroom being just steps away!

Aquamarines are formed in pegmatites, which are igneous rocks formed by magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface. As this process occurs, it forms large crystals, including those of beryl. Aquamarines are formed when the beryl contains traces of iron and is exposed to high-pressure fluids which contain other elements such as aluminum and silicon. These trace elements are what determine the tone of blue in each individual stone such as the light hue of our Elsie ring's center stone (pictured below).

Fun fact: Aquamarines are a type of beryl, the same mineral family as emeralds.

Today, aquamarines are found in many parts of the world, including Brazil, Nigeria, Madagascar, and Pakistan. You can also find them in the heart of Cardiff at our showroom! Discover aquamarine collection pieces here.

Sapphire: The Gem of Royalty

Sapphire is a gemstone that has been treasured for thousands of years primarily for its deep blue color and association with royalty. This regal stone, much like Tourmalines, can also be found in a wide array of shades such as pink, yellow, green, and even white. Our collection of sapphires covers a broad range of these shades from the rich yellow tone of a Sri Lanka Sapphire in our Joss ring (pictured below, left side) to the mesmerizing bicolor tones of the Madagascar Sapphire in our Dew ring (pictured below, right side). 

Sapphires are formed in metamorphic rocks, such as schists and gneisses, and much like the previously mentioned stones, these are created under intense heat and pressure. Aside from their range of unique shades, Sapphire is another favorite gemstone in our collection due to their hardness, making it an excellent alternative engagement ring center stone. Discover Sapphire collection pieces here. 

The Beauty of Natural Gemstones

There is something truly magical about natural gemstones. From the intricacies surrounding the formation process to the uniqueness of each individual stone; no two having the same story of formation and journey to the Earth's surface. When we look at a gemstone, we are seeing a testament of Mother Nature's force. 

Our collection of fine jewelry features natural gemstones in a variety of styles and settings. Whether you prefer the rich green of emeralds or the brilliant blue of aquamarines, there is a gemstone that speaks to your unique style, personality and story. As we celebrate Earth Day, we honor the beauty and power of nature, and the incredible gemstones that remind us of it every day.

We love your love! That is why we have decided to reach out to a few of our amazing Kasia Family members, new and returning, to tell their stories. Love is powerful, beautiful, diverse and worthy of honoring through your unique story. By sharing these openly with you, we intend to spread joy in a time when we need it the most. We understand the privilege it is to be a part of your story, and we hope the sincerity of these couples will reflect the very special relationships we aim to have with everyone who walks through our doors (whether in-person or virtually).

Next up, we have Danae & André. Two ballroom dancers that tangoed their way into each other's hearts! 

When did you know that your partner was THE ONE?

This is a funny one where we both have pretty different answers. We met each other at work, at a ballroom dance studio. One of their coworkers, who was a bridesmaid at the wedding, remembers a day where André asked her “I want to marry a girl like Danae. Do you think I have a chance?” to which the coworker responded “No way!” So for him, he knew very early on! I was more cautious, and took a while to even accept a date. However, once I gave him a chance, I was very quickly won over. I don’t think there was a specific moment I knew, but I know that one thing I noticed early on and loved about him was how great he is with kids…I remember watching him and thinking not only would he make a great husband, but also an amazing dad to our future children.
