Holiday Proposals

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.

Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers, a locally owned store since 1899, has a full-service sales staff to assist you. Whether you are in the Milwaukee area or coming to town for the holidays just give us a call. We carry an expanded selection of ready-to-go ring designs; however, if you are looking to have a mounting created, the process takes about 3 weeks or so.

Make the holidays of 2018 something you both will remember forever with a holiday proposla!

Three-Stone Engagement Rings

At Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers, we understand that the amount of engagement ring styles, materials and dozens of other factors can be overwhelming. Therefore, we thought we’d breakdown some of our favorite styles starting with the gorgeous three-stone engagement rings.

Three-Stone Engagement Rings Symbolism

The tri-stone engagement ring has been popularized by its symbolism; either signifying a relationships past, present and future, friendship, love and fidelity or even religious implications. Furthermore, this symbolism gives the engagement ring that extra edge of significance and personalization. A three-stone ring gives you still gives you a substantial amount of flexibility in terms of style.

New Engagement Rings Website

Naledi Bridal Collection at Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers in Milwaukee

With Valentine’s Day, the second most popular day for proposals, coming up. We redesigned our Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers engagement rings website to be more intuitive.

We created an easy-to-use web page to help you understand how to select the perfect diamond engagement ring.

Start at the diamond education page, “All About Diamonds”, where briefly highlight several questions you should ask yourself before shopping. Then dive into the 4 C’s of diamond quality. The actual diamond is the bulk of your cost; therefore, it’s very important to fully understand what you are looking for when selecting a diamond.
