It's not all about the solitaire anymore! Women are going a bit more adventurous with their engagement rings- star sapphires, emeralds, and brown diamonds! I loved photographing all of these gorgeous gemstones. I used a combination of natural and artificial light to give it a soft and feminine feel while still making all the stones look super sparkly and amazing.
