The Collection that started it all…

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

By now most people know that my jewelry is part influenced by tattoo and graffiti art, but I wanted to further explain why it’s so near and dear to my heart. As a musician first, I became known in my circle of friends for hosting some pretty killer karaoke parties. I’d transform a room in my home into an all out rock n roll party – complete with strobe lights, hair band wigs, and temporary tattoos. It was incredible, because I physically saw my friends transform into bonafide rockers once they “got into character.” Even my most shy and conservative friends became outgoing by putting on a skull tattoo! The great thing about temporary tattoos is just that…they’re temporary, no commitment! It got me thinking that everyone wants to be a rock star, and it doesn’t have to require ink. Jewelry, like a fake tattoo, can be put on and taken off. Thus…the Dangerous Collection was born. It’s like fake tattoos, but with diamonds and class. Rock on.

When it comes to ring styles, today’s young-adult “millennial” shoppers demonstrate a surprising preference for the traditional. Although some retailers say they are seeing some experimentation with colored gemstones and alternative metals like titanium and even stainless steel, the default choice is still a center-mounted diamond, with up to 90 percent of buyers opting for white gold settings. Growing demand from same-sex couples has generated greater interest in nontraditional offerings such as the ornately carved bands by Lithuanian designer Alex Sepkus (p. 80), says Matthew Rosenheim, president of Washington, D.C.’s Tiny Jewel Box. However, a significant portion of same-sex bridal shoppers do gravitate toward classic selections, notes Rosenheim.

What’s different about contemporary rings are the embellishments: Although the stones are smaller, they’re accented more frequently with smaller diamonds on the sides or around the center—a distinction jewelers say is a uniquely Gen-Y spin. According to JIRI stats, a mere 28 percent of rings today are solitaires. The vast majority are what Gassman calls  “something extra and different.”

“They want more detail in a smaller space,” says Brian Toone, president and CEO of the Jewelry Design Center in Spokane, Wash. “What we’re seeing has a solitaire or streamlined look, but when you look closer, there are more stones on the sides or detail work underneath to add that personal element.”
