Engagement Season, Consignment, and the Tiny Beads That Will Change How Your Ring Fits

Volume 6 – Fall 2023

The leaves are turning, the holidays are approaching, and (right on cue) engagement season is here. This issue is our most practical yet: we walk through exactly how the engagement ring process works at Simms (spoiler: we do it differently, and on purpose), break down every decision you’ll face in building a ring, and introduce a repair solution called sizing beads that most people have never heard of but immediately wish they had.

We’ve also launched Simms Estate jewelry on our site, which means the best-kept secret in the store is now browsable from your couch. Plus: a gemstone guide to fall’s most distinctive stones, a preview of our annual holiday gift guide, and a personal note from Sarah on gratitude, pendulums, and why November deserves more than one day of reflection.
