Alexandra’s designs have a modern-vintage flair to them that is unique and statement-making. Engagement rings are one of Alexandra’s favourite things to craft and on this show, she shares there’s been a shift in what’s trending in stone shape—the oval has competition. We also talk about the popularity of larger carat weight gemstones, the affordability of lab diamonds and why reworking a family heirloom piece into something new and meaningful is a very special part of Alexandra’s job.
