Los Angeles’ hottest jewelry designer Michael Beaudry lives and breathes diamonds and platinum — and particularly takes pride in his handcrafted engagement rings.

Take your time and do your homework! “Read bridal and fashion magazines to help determing which aesthetic most appeals to you, then follow up with online research of the particular brands you are interested in, and finally, consult with your local trusted jeweler.”
