#Engagement Rings for Women Austin TX

The Beautiful Symbolism of Breathtaking Celtic Engagement Rings

If you’re the type of bride who’s searching for Engagement Rings for Women Austin, TX that are unique, traditional, and full of interesting culture and history, Celtic rings are the ideal choice for you.

Celtic rings feature migraine knots and intricate braids that symbolize everlasting love. These pieces also use more unique center stones like heart-shaped diamonds and other gemstones.

Reasons to love Celtic rings

One of the main reasons why a lot of brides tend to prefer Celtic

 Men's Wedding Bands Austin, TX is that they have a special meaning behind them. Celtic pieces offer a certain level of sentiment, authenticity, and tradition to your wedding day.

These pieces tend to feel a lot more personal than a popular round or solitaire diamond. Celtic rings also come in a wide range of styles and sizes so that you can choose a piece that you love.

Celtic rings feature a range of stones from Irish marble, diamonds, and turquoise to sapphires. Just keep in mind that if you are looking to switch up or sell your ring in the future this might not be the piece for you.

Your Celtic Diamond Rings Austin, TX aren’t valued as highly as a popular diamond ring. So, you will not get the same value for it if you decide to upgrade your piece in the future.

With Celtic rings, look for durable metals like yellow gold or platinum accompanied by resilient gemstones like diamonds and sapphires.

Always work with a skilled and experienced professional who can help youcustom design your piece. Your jeweler should have access to unique vintage stones and intricate designs along with adding their personal touch to your piece.

Make sure to keep your ring simple and pair it with a thin pave band or a thin eternity band set with tiny diamonds. This will allow your Celtic ring to stand out and pop. Make sure that your band sits flush with your ring so that it looks like a single piece.

End Note

Caring for your Celtic ring is important. Traditional rings are made of platinum which doesn’t tarnish easily. However, metals like sterling silver or gold will need to be re-plated once a year.

Always avoid exposing your ring to direct heat and light and store it in a cool, dark place when running errands or doing chores.

Exile (Sequel to Undo It)

Former! Jensen Ackles x Reader 

Dad! Jensen Ackles x Daughter! Avalyn

Warnings: Angst, Mention of Breakup, Lovers to Enemies

Summary: Avalyn Y/L/N comes face to face with someone connected to her mom's past.

It leaves Y/N with no option but to confront her past.

Something she’s been running from for over 3 decades.

Inspired by: Taylor Swift’s Exile

All this time We always walked a very thin line You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out) (You never gave a warning sign) (I gave so many signs)

(Note: I never intended to do a sequel  to Undo It but I fell in love with this song.)

10 years later…

Mom wanted me to pick up ingredients for dinner today. 

We are having my favourite steak and potatoes.

It's a dinner to celebrate my engagement to Jeremy. 

I glance at my ring on my left hand.

I think about how happy I am. I just wish my mom could have found someone too. 

I know who my father is and their history. I just wish she had gotten past that heartache. 

His former player ways did a number on her.

I accidentally bump into someone.

A familiar pair of green eyes look at me with curiosity.

It’s my 17-year-old half-sister Justice Ackles.

"Excuse me, do I know you look familiar?” JJ asked.

I try my best to deflect her question.

" No, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I replied

I quickly head off to the register to avoid her from questioning me further.

Mom’s not going to like what just happened.

 If JJ tells our Dad he’s going to confront mom.

I know we all live in Texas but it’s so big what are the chances of running into her.

I better warn mom.

I quickly text her.

Meanwhile back in the grocery store….

JJ Ackles P.O.V

I could have sworn I’ve seen the lady somewhere before.

I better text dad.

Hey, dad I just had the oddest encounter with a woman in a grocery store.

I took a pic of her while she was cashing out do you recognize her? I asked.

I attached the photo to the text.

“ What she looks exactly like my on and off girlfriend from high school. I’ve mentioned her a few times, that's probably why you recognize her. Thanks for the heads up JJ. I’ve got some work to do on this. Love you see you soon JJ. 

Jensen Ackles P.O.V

That can’t be possible how can Y/N  have a 32-year-old daughter?

Unless she had her when she was a teenager.

A sudden realization she could be mine.

Why wouldn’t she tell me though?

If my suspicions are correct I’ll have to tell Danneel about her.

Damn, that’s going to be a difficult conversation.

She has no idea how my behavior was like when I was younger.

I treated women horribly in the past. 

Especially Y/N something I regret to this day.

That doesn’t stop me from feeling angry for her hiding this from me though.

First I  look up Y/N‘s social media to see if I can find out what my daughter's name is.  

It doesn’t take me very long to find Y/N’s Instagram which leads me to my daughter’s social media.

There she is  Avalyn Y/LN.

She is beautiful and there's no doubt she’s my daughter. She’s got my facial structure and my eyes. She looks more like Y/N though.

I use my connections to find her mom’s address.

It’s time to get some answers from her.

Y/N P.O.V

3503 Robinson Ave

Austin, TX

I hear the doorbell ring.

Ava is due back soon. Did she forget her key?

I get up off the couch to answer the door.

I feel all the colour drain from my face as soon as I open the door.

The last person I’d ever expect to see in my life ever again, Jensen Ackles.

He’s angry as hell.

His anger is reflected in his emerald eyes.

“Y/N we need to talk, you have some explaining to do! Jensen yelled.

I reluctantly let him in and show him to the living room. He takes a seat on my blue sofa and I reluctantly take a seat beside him. I turn around to face him.

I already know what he's going to ask.

“So I got the most interesting text from JJ while she was at the grocery store.

The text included a picture of the woman as well. A woman I might add that resembles you and had my emerald eyes. Is she my daughter or not the timeline fits?” Jensen said.

The way he’s glaring at me feels like his stare could cut right through me.

I can feel anger bubbling up inside me.

“She is but our relationship was anything but stable. I didn’t want her to be in that environment.   You may be an amazing father and husband now but back then you would have been anything but. We broke up every other week. Our relationship did a number on me. Why do you think I never got married or dated again? ” I yelled as  I glared back at him with my brown.

“ Y/N, still you could have told me later on! I have a right to know I had a grown daughter!  I should get to meet her!” Jensen yelled back.

I poke him in the chest.

“Don’t you take that tone with me, Jensen Ross Ackles. You have no idea what it was like for me to have a kid at 16. Thank god I had my mom, dad, and grandmother to help raise her. It’s up to her if she wants to meet you. I’ll give you her number. Doesn’t mean she’ll contact you though. Now get out of my house. I replied as I motioned towards the door. 

I managed to get the last words in. Jensen has no more ideas on how to rationalize his point of view. So he angrily makes his exit out of my house.

Damn, I can’t believe that happened. I never thought I’d ever had to see him again in person. Hopefully, I won’t have to ever again.

 I think I've seen this film before

And I didn't like the ending

I'm not your problem anymore

So who am I offending now?

You were my crown

Now I'm in exile seein' you out

Let It Be Love

When it comes to buying jewelry, men tend to buy what they like. But, when they’re buying jewelry for the women in their lives, it’s all about her. He needs to know that what he’s buying for her will make her happy. So, how do marketers make pearls more appealing to men?

First, we’d like to give a shout out to A1 Bentley of the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood reality TV show. This successful producer wears pearls every chance he gets. He’s a fashion icon who knows how to set trends. And, even though he loves wearing pearls, A1 Bentley is all man!

So, what are some other ways we can make pearls more appealing to men like A1 and other men around the world?

A1 Bentley of LHHH Loves Wearing Pearls on Every Episode.

…because real men wear pearls too!

Ways to Make Pearls More Appealing to Men Who Buy Jewelry

We asked our audience for tips to get more men to buy pearl jewelry online. Here were our questions:

How can marketers make pearls more appealing to men buying jewelry online?

Men are the ones that buy jewelry online for their women. How can marketers make pearls more appealing to these men? And, can men wear pearls too?

Our audience is a creative one. People submitted some really awesome ideas. Some are pretty basic, while others are very creative. Here are some of our favorites:

Jonathan Poston

Pearls appealing to men: The pearl carries a mystique that is often more deeply appreciated in the old world, where gifts of jade and gold are more commonplace in business deals. Leverage pearls as a symbol of good faith in negotiating high-value deals.

Jonathan Poston M.E. https://twitter.com/wjonathanposton http://bit.ly/2w08pw6 http://bit.ly/2gXkvMs

Ricardo Ramos – QNY Creative

Pearls of Wisdom: I have two words for you; Product Placement.

An appealing product-ritual must be created in order for social attitudes to be changed over time. To achieve this, pearls need wide exposure linked to elements this demographic puts a high value on.

The historical use of this strategy by DeBeers campaigns changed the markets (and men’s) perception towards diamonds a product with little to no market back in the 1930’s.

Margaret Andriassian – Beverly Hills Shirt Co. – Beverly Hills, CA

I’m reaching out from Anto, America’s leading distinctive shirtmaker. Since 1955, Anto has been handcrafting bespoke shirting, in the USA, for high profile men and women including actors, politicians, royalty, and industry executives, along with many men and women who are conductors of fine bespoke clothing. The majority of our clients are men that purchase custom made dress shirts.

All Anto shirts are made with Mother of Pearl buttons that are imported from overseas. Mother of Pearl buttons add quality, luxury and durability to all of Anto’s fine custom made shirts.

I hope this helps your quest on how men can wear pearls!

All the Best, Margaret Andriassian www.antoshirt.com

McKinzieBrocail – Medology.com & McKinzieWrites.com

I am a travel blogger and content marketer, and here’s my take on making pearls appealing as engagement/wedding rings:

Pearls are associated with the beach and the ocean. If you’re a couple who love to travel to sandy destinations or sail, a pearl engagement ring can be a great way to commemorate both your love and your love of the sea.

It can also be symbolic to water signs (Cancers, Pisces, and Scorpios), so if you are looking to get your loved one a classy, nautical ring, pearls are a great option. Imagine how stunning a pearl would look in a clam shell ring box during a proposal!

Thanks, McKinzie Brocail Travel Blogger http://bit.ly/2gVSapN

Louis Gudema – revenue + associates

Response: marketing pearls: People buy with emotion and if a man is buying jewelry for his woman it’s to make the woman feel great. Not every man is going to buy pearls, but for those who would an online display ad or website showing a man and woman interacting when he’s putting a pearl necklace on her from behind, and the pleasure on her face, will inspire them.

Louis Gudema President revenue + associates http://bit.ly/2gXkEiY http://bit.ly/2vZCfB2

Slogan: Helping companies grow faster.

Chris McCarron – Flash Bang SEO – Glasgow, Scotland

Easy answer: Hey, I work with Neil Patel, Noah Kagan and international brands such as Roadtrippers. Here’s my quote.

The easy answer is to stop guessing what will make men buy your products. Instead mine Amazon reviews for their common likes, dislikes, and emotional triggers.

Take notes, look for patterns and then use this research to tackle objections. Use the exact terminology that they use and tap into the emotions that triggered their purchase. Then watch your sales skyrocket.

Chris McCarron http://bit.ly/2w04m31

Robert Matthams – Shiply

Latch on to the vintage trend: There are many women out there who adore the vintage aesthetic – appealing to partners of these women could be a great way to market pearls.

Jewellery is typically marketed toward the idea of luxury and big money – an unrelatable world to most people, so appealing to a more vintage-inspired couple could be just the ticket.

Getting involved in vintage fairs to find the Marilyn Monroes rather than the modern Instagram models would be a great fit and could really pay off.

Laura Hall Marketing Executive at Shiply http://bit.ly/2gXkGaA

James Nowlin – The Purposeful Millionaire – Austin, TX

  I have a handful of male clients who are fascinated by pearls. Here is my answer to your query.

“The most powerful men in history have worn pearls. Our pearls, imbued with power and nobility, are designed only for those who are men among men. Are you man enough for one?”

Sincerely, James R. Nowlin JamesNowlin.com

James Pollard – The Advisor Coach

  “Marketers can make pearls more appealing to men by demonstrating centers of influence or celebrities using pearls. Making it known that someone in professional sports or a famous Hollywood actor purchased pearls for his significant other makes it more likely that a man will emulate this behavior.”

“Can men wear pearls? Of course. The discerning gentleman with a taste for fine jewelry can most certainly wear pearls. If they were good enough for ancient royalty, they’re good enough for today’s sophisticated man.”

I hope that helps! Thanks a lot, James Pollard TheAdvisorCoach.com

Reuben Kats – Falcon Marketing, LLC – North Hollywood, CA

Marketers are growing at a fast pace these days and competition is expanding as well. Marketers need to start thinking outside the box.

To whom it may concern,

When a business is growing especially in the jewelry industry, the marketing department needs to be on the track of their promotions, deals, and any events. One has to get them signed up to a monthly newsletter, email promotional codes to save money on future purchases, add crystal clear messages that turn people’s attention to what they truly want.

Men are the ones usually buying luxurious gifts for their spouses when one buys jewelry like pearls a man needs to be assured that his partner will like it. When a man sees a celebrity wearing a pair of diamond and pearls they now that this company is legitimate. Men can definitely wear pearls, I have Tahitian pearl necklaces I wear.

Reuben Kats Web Design Sales Engineer /Customer Service/ Account Manager GrabResults, LLC http://bit.ly/2gVSl4r

Michael O’Connor – Style and Substance

As a celebrity stylist and Jewelry/Style expert here are my thoughts.

Pearls have previously been seen as a jewel for women, mainly because of pearl strands. Today, however, the market is perfect for men to also embrace pearls. Designers who give pearls a masculine and casual feel will benefit. Some great men’s styling includes single black pearls on a neck-cord or small darker colored pearls on leather bracelets.

The key is to provide a rough-hewn or casual feel that’s fashionable and not too precious at price points that make the pearl piece less of a “considered purchase” and more of a fun accessory that will go with everything.

Michael O’Connor TV Host, Style Commentator, Celebrity Stylist styleandsubstance.com http://bit.ly/2gXkMyY

Rob Boirun – PopNet Media LLC.

One of the best things I can picture for effective marketing of pearl to men would be to have many images of pearls on ‘real women’. Personally, I would like to see how pearls are used by women and how they ultimately look being worn before I buy one for my lady.

Casey Tibbs – image squared marketing – Effingham, IL

Good afternoon! Here is my response:

If I were tasked with marketing pearl jewelry to a male audience of jewelry gift buyers, I’d go straight for the mildly risqué. My first thought is a campaign titled something like Hunting for the Pearl? Hunt No More.

Use elegant imagery that shows, for example, a man choosing a pearl wedding ring, in focus, with traditional diamond rings looking dull in the background. In other ads, go straight for the risqué with a man and woman’s hands caressing a piece of pearl jewelry and the tagline, She’ll Love it When You Find Her Pearl.

She decides and buys, and he pays and wraps. Click To Tweet

Men buy jewelry that: the woman in his life explicitly tells him to buy, overtly hints she wants ‘someday’, or subtly arranges for him to indirectly ‘discover’ she wants through some sneaky feminine ninjitsu men will never understand.

That accounts for why 70% of our website traffic demographic is made up of women, who spend an average 11 minutes on our site…and yet 70% of our sales are to men who spend an average 112 seconds on our site.

Conclusion: marketers selling to men are mistaking how the actual purchase process most often happens. She decides and buys, and he pays and wraps.

Should you go ring shopping together?

Trying on rings is fun and a great idea if you and your partner still determine what you want. This gives you time to see various settings, gemstones, cuts, and even accent stones to decide what you’ll love.

Investing in diamond rings in Austin, TX, together allows you and your partner to understand better the budget and how pricey your piece is. Some couples prefer to invest in the ring together since it’s a large financial purchase or determine what’s affordable and work within that budget.

You can also look to create a custom-designed piece in the style you like. Some couples get both their rings and men’s wedding bands in Austin, TX, designed by a professional, allowing them to choose everything from the style to the budget.

However, just keep in mind that ring shopping together might take the excitement out of the surprise proposal. If this isn’t important to you and you prefer your partner tagging along, then this can be a good choice.

End Note

Couples who prefer surprise proposals can check if their local jewelry store accepts returns and exchanges or will resize the piece if required. This allows you to propose to your partner and give them the option of upgrading their piece in case they prefer another one.
