Anthro window 2

First off let me apologize for my iphone photos- there are some reflection challenges in many of these shots. But, walking up and down King Street here in Charleston during December is so charming… Most everyone gets into the spirit and does up their windows sometimes rivaling what you’d see in New York.  Here are just a few of my favorite eye candies.

Anthro window 1

The first is Anthropologie– with their gingerbreadish, french ski chalet village. So sweet and so Anthro.

Croghan's windows

Of course Croghan’s Jewel Box, the staple in Charleston for jewels and gifts doesn’t disappoint. Sophisticated and glittering and full of sparkle.

Bob Ellis window

Looking festive at Bob Ellis Shoes.

Finicky Filly window

Finicky Filly is one of my favorite places to shop in Charleston and one of my favorite windows.

This so does not do them justice, but the Worthwhile windows are really fabulous! Love all of the hand cut paper designs.

Lastly, the typically known rugged outdoor shop, Half Moon Outfitters went soft and sweet with their hand cut paper “snowflakes”.

After our earlier post this week where we shared tips for keeping your hands and nails in shape to best show off your ring, we thought it would be fun to also share some of our favorite engagement rings from one of our favorite spots in town (in case you’re in the market)! Croghan’s Jewel Box is a 100-year-old family jewelry store on King Street here in Charleston, and I had so much fun playing dress up there while my friend Corbin Gurkin took photos of the styles on the top of our wish list. From simple to ornate, it’s important that your personal style is reflected in the ring you choose. There are so many ring shapes and sizes that it can be overwhelming to pick just one, but hopefully this list will help you narrow it down, and Rhett and Mariana at Croghan’s will be sure to answer any other questions you might have!

Oui Oui! This platinum pick is the Single Stone Old European Ring and features a 2.61 carat Oec Diamond, surrounded by .85 carats of French cut diamonds. The look of a single stone allows the beauty of the diamond to stand out on any finger size.

This Estate Edwardian platinum ring features a 2.01 carat diamond and stopped us in our tracks! Croghan’s sells lots of Estate rings, which you can find on their site here.

Our next pick is fairly ornate, but the simplicity of a band makes for an elegant and beautifully understated look. This platinum band has .75 carat diamonds and is the perfect complement to any style.

And when you’re ready, don’t forget the band! Croghan’s has a great selection and we especially love the ones from Single Stone. Happy shopping ladies and cheers to your engagement!
