Simon G Engagement Rings

Simon G engagement rings are all about craftsmanship and an artisan approach to bridal jewelry.

His engagement rings epitomize the attention to detail that Simon G is known for as a jewelry designer.

His full name is Simon Ghanimian, it was changed to Simon G because a county clerk in the U.S. thought his name was too long when he went to register his business after having emigrated from Lebanon. Can you imagine that happening today? But it does seem to have worked well for him....

Since that time his business has grown immensely, he's lived the American dream, and has enjoyed a lot of success as a jewelry designer. His jewelry line includes everything from brooches, to pendants, to a men's collection, earrings, and everything in between but what we like most about his work is the signature look of a Simon G engagement ring.

A Simon G engagement ring all starts with a simple sketch. Once the design team likes the direction the sketch is taking, it gets refined, over and over again, working through every detail until the design can't be pushed any farther.

Because his engagement ring designs are so detailed and complicated, it's important that it goes through several steps.

Once they have taken it as far as it will go on paper, the engagement ring sketch is then transformed into a 3D computer model so the team can look over every angle and aspect of the ring before it's approved for production. By running it through a computer model they can also make sure that what is sketched will work as well in reality as it does on paper.

This is a really important step for them because of the intricate details, filigree work, beading and engraving that is strongly associated with the brand and their engagement rings.

The detailing and design elements can be so complex in their engagement ring creations that the company alloys their own metals to achieve their desired results. In certain cases they may need the metal to be harder in order to support another element within the ring while in other situations they may need it to be slightly more pink or yellow to complement an aspect of the design.

By mixing platinum, palladium, iridium, and gold in various combinations they're able to create the magical heirloom pieces that we associate with Simon G jewelry and deliver superior durability while keeping the metals as pure as possible.

Once the ring goes into production, they're manufactured with the highest quality control standards at each phase of their development.

From the design stage to final production is a very long process but as Simon G himself says...

"If you want jewelry that gets stared at you can't afford to overlook anything...."

Much of the work is done by hand with a true artisan touch and inspected every step of the way by experts who each specialize in one particular aspect of the design.

The whole process, from start to finish, is crafted to insure that each component of their engagement rings are of equal quality and standard and that's why Simon G engagement rings have the reputation they have today—heirloom pieces of exquisite design and exceptional quality.
