We’re a family owned and operated business and proud residents of San Antonio, too.

There’s nothing like getting engaged in San Antonio.

However, we’ve been a longtime staple, and in 2020 we’re celebrating our 50th year in business! In San Antonio, we love our Spurs and we all look forward to the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, one of the largest such events in the US. And, of course, we are proud to honor all of the men and women who defend our country at one of the numerous armed forces facilities in the area.

DESIGNERS

When you walk into our store, you’re going to notice we’re a little different. We think that’s a great thing! We don’t represent a long list of engagement ring designers because we are discriminating when it comes to quality. We prefer to work a little differently than many retail jewelers. For example, if you want a special diamond, we can talk about the many ways we can help you select the diamond of your dreams. You can begin your search here, or you can let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll find it for you. Otherwise, you can select from dozens of engagement rings, complete with center diamonds, in our cases or elect to have a one of a kind ring designed. If you have something specific in mind, well, you’ve come to the right place. We specialize in custom design. Looking for something made exclusively for you and you alone? Let’s start that process. We are hands on and want to get to know you.

Yes, you can find some pretty unique settings right in our showcase. But, if you are looking to create something truly one of a kind, you’ve come to the right jewelry store! We can confidently tell you that a custom design is not necessarily more expensive than choosing a ring that’s in our case and ready to be worn. And, it’s not as complicated as you think, either. We have many years of experience, and we’re going to guide you through the process step by step. If you believe your love is like no other, then consider celebrating it with a ring like no other! 

Jewelry Creativity In Progress

THE CUSTOM JEWELRY PROCESS

Our Initial Meeting with You

Step One: Meet with one of our design specialists to start talking about your style and vision. At this meeting, you should bring anything from your family gemstones you would like to include in your design to pictures of rings you have seen. We’ll collaborate with you and will help you develop your design to make it uniquely yours. Let us know the size and shape of the diamond that appeals to you and the budget you have in mind.

The Option of a CAD

Once you and your Ben Adams Jewelers design specialist have agreed on the rendering, the process of developing a CAD begins. The CAD technology analyzes and modifies your design, shape, detail and texture. Adjustments are possible and any changes should be decided upon and made during this stage.

The Wax

A wax model allows you to see and feel your creation before the design is cast in the precious metal that is right for you. From this point, it only takes a short period of time  before your design is ready for you to enjoy and share with the world.

COLORED STONE ENGAGEMENT RINGS.

Time to make a statement.

If you haven’t noticed, colored gemstones in engagement rings have made a huge comeback. Precious gemstones like sapphire, ruby, and emerald express individuality and are a departure from the ordinary.  Many fashion-savvy brides are opting for fancy colored diamonds ranging from white and the soft browns of champagne to vivid yellows, pinks and many other hues—all of which are rare and beautiful. There are also stunning sapphires, most known for their vivid blues, but available in an array of colors. Some say the trend re-emerged with Princess Diana and her blue sapphire engagement ring. Kate Middleton continued that tradition. In any case, making your statement in color could be an exciting alternative to a traditional white diamond. Want to know more about color?

Colored Stone Engagement Rings

ENGAGEMENT RING TRENDS.

Engagement rings come in all sizes, shapes, and settings. And, you should always choose an engagement ring that speaks to you, whether or not it’s on-trend. As we know, trends do come and go over the years.  Today, these following styles and diamond shapes appear to be making a resurgence.

Oval Cut

OVAL CUT DIAMONDS

We love round diamonds and they are by far the most brilliant. But oval diamonds are back in style and we love that they are. They have a flattering shape and can be worn both vertically and horizontally for a completely different look. They also have a vintage vibe, especially when paired with a simple band.

Rose Gold

ROSE GOLD RINGS

Gold is by far the most popular precious metal in the US, but there’s something about rose gold that makes for a perfect setting. We especially love it when it’s mixed with yellow or white gold for a very unique look. It’s been trending for a few years now and is showing no signs of losing ground. Feminine and flattering, rose gold is romantic and becoming more common in many of our engagement ring lines.

Color Stone

COLORED GEMSTONES

We’ve been talking about it for a few years, ever since the Princess of Wales flashed her blue sapphire engagement ring! If you’re looking for a pop of color, you’ll be happy to hear that engagement rings featuring colored gemstones are totally in vogue. From subtle to striking, colored gemstones are sure to be a standout choice to switch up a classic engagement ring.

Pear Shape

PEAR-CUT STYLES

Very big in the 1970s and making a quick comeback, pear-shaped diamonds and other gemstones in mixed metals scream modern and fashion-forward, especially when paired with rose gold or stunning halo settings.

Stackables B

STACKABLES

Think one band won’t do? Then consider the newest trend: Stackable wedding bands. Look for these bands to complement nicely with “tiara” style bands that form half-halos around center stones. Hint: adding a different stack every year also makes this trend the perfect anniversary gift!

Three Stone Ring

3-STONE RINGS

Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement, this trend has seen a resurgence in popularity. Not new, (remember diamonds for your past, present and future?) you can choose three similar size diamonds, or one larger diamond with two-smaller diamonds flanking each side. After all, why have one diamond when you can have three?

Split Shanks

SPLIT SHANKS

A split shank band looks stunning on any finger. What is it? It’s two bands running parallel to each other with a gemstone separating them. This style is both dramatic and classic. Your center diamond will look like it’s suspended while it sparkles.

Minimalist Round

MINIMALIST ROUND

Classic and will most likely be on-trend for quite some time, a simple band featuring a beautiful round diamond is for the bride-to-be who wants a style that’s pretty and not over the top.

LAB GROWN DIAMONDS Q&A – What you need to know.

You may have seen lab grown diamonds in the press. And, it’s important to understand the differences between purchasing a diamond created in a lab versus a natural diamond produced by Mother Nature.

Wedding Bands

 

WEDDING BANDS

The ultimate expression of love.

The wedding band is a symbol dating back 5000 years to ancient Egypt when a couple exchanged ‘rings of love’ made of woven reeds or leather. Customs have changed a bit over the years, but the symbolism that wedding bands represent remains the same; love and commitment to one another. Many women choose a wedding band that matches their engagement ring, while others select or create a band that is unique or stand-alone.  Traditional metals of gold and platinum remain the most popular for men, yet contemporary metals such as tungsten, stainless steel or titanium are other options.  Whatever your taste – and budget – you can be sure to find a wedding band that’s a true expression of your love for each other.

Ethically Sourced Logo

It’s important how and where it’s mined.

At Ben Adams Jewelers, our commitment to community extends beyond our local neighborhoods to the world stage. The diamonds we sell are guaranteed to be conflict free, which means no one has been compromised or hurt in any way in the acquisition of the diamonds. Many jewelry organizations and more than 75 countries have agreed to the Kimberley Process – a certification that requires each shipment of rough diamonds to be secured in a tamper-resistant container and accompanied by a government-validated certificate.  Any country declining to participate is barred from the international diamond trade. And, we’re proud to support these initiatives.
