Daniel Koren has stamped a favorable impression of his creativity on the fashion critics. Last year, his Prêt‐à‐Porter Collection with black and white diamonds was quite something. Even the colorful stackable bangles came to become a very popular trend. And now, Koren is trying to keep up with everyone’s expectations thanks to the launch of a whole line of brilliantly colored rings.
The biggest attraction these rings have is that they can both be worn singly or stacked. We do agree the design and pattern may not be something new but the diamonds and gemstones like rubies and the sapphires in various colors bring a new spark to the rings that are made in 18K white, rose and yellow gold to complement the colors of stones used.
