Holiday Proposals with Schwanke-Kasten jewelers

Holiday proposals  mark a special time when family and good friends gather together. If you are out-of-town with your significant other, and are coming home for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years, all are great occasions to “pop” the question. Whether you have everyone around the table for dinner or dancing the night away at a New Year’s Eve party, a quick “clink-clink” with a spoon on a glass gets people’s attention.

Not sure where to start in selecting an engagement ring … go to your love’s Pinterest page to see all the romantic pics of items they’ve been collecting. Next checkout our online engagement collection or stop by one of our stores. If you are looking for something completely unique, bring your ideas to our Whitefish Bay location and our onsite gemologists will help make your dream a reality. Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers carries a wide array of renowned ring designers, styles and materials.

Spark Creations is a leader in the creation of beautiful, precious diamond jewelry and they have been industry leaders for over forty years.  The unique selling point of all Spark Creations designs is the cut of the diamonds and stones.  Spark Creations has its stones especially faceted for all of its designs.  (Read more about Spark Creations).

Furthermore, diamonds can come in different colors and, like with most colored diamonds, natural black diamonds are extremely rare. They appear opaque because of their “polycrystalline” structure which prevents them from reflecting light. In fact, the diamonds are real and are filled with dark inclusions (namely graphite) to give them the blackened look.

Black diamonds are extremely popular these days and are often paired with white diamonds.  While the price of black diamonds was fairly low in years past, they are now seen as more valuable.
