Every jewel tells a story. CIRCA asked Melanie Fascitelli about her favorite jewelry piece:

My favorite piece is my diamond ring. It is an estate cushion diamond. Now it sits solitaire in a micro pave diamond basket with a micro pave split shank just as I first received it from my husband. We use a family jeweler named Suzy B who is AMAZING!!!!!

I received the ring as a gift a year after we eloped! The ring went through a transitional period - I changed it basically, three, no make that four times!! That’s what happens when your husband gives you a beautifully set stone and says, get side stones, set it solitaire, do with it what you will…

Suzy B has been so patient with me, her offices in the Madison Ave portion of the diamond district are like my second home. It is fun to go there and look at all the additional diamond goodies to get ….one day!! Although some people judge and say, how unsentimental and crazy to change your ring, I just smile and say I guess you might say the same thing about getting married at City Hall at 8:30 am after knowing someone for four months, but not everyone’s story is the same and True Romance is in the eye of the beholder. My ring is perfect, for now, and that it was my own evolution makes it my special ring.
