Rare & Radiant: A One-Night Showcase of Unique Gems in Boston
At Laura Preshong, we believe every stone tells a story - and sometimes the most extraordinary ones are also the most unexpected. From sapphires in every shade of the rainbow to salt and pepper diamonds filled with natural character, these gems break the mold of “traditional” and offer something truly rare. That’s why we’re hosting Rare & Radiant: A Showcase of Sapphires, Salt & Pepper Diamonds & Uncommon Cuts - an RSVP-only event on October 16th in our South End Boston showroom. For one night only, clients will have the chance to see stones seldom available in Boston, enjoy drinks and light bites, and speak directly with our gemstone specialists.
Misfit Gems: Beauty in the Unexpected
Misfit is a trusted sourcing partner that celebrates stones often overlooked by the traditional jewelry market. Instead of focusing only on “perfect” gems, Misfit highlights those with unusual colorations, inclusions, or shapes - gems that show nature’s artistry in unexpected ways. Each stone is fully traceable and responsibly sourced, ensuring clients can feel confident about both beauty and ethics.
These Misfit gems are perfect for those who want a truly one-of-a-kind engagement ring or piece of fine jewelry. Whether it’s a salt and pepper diamond with moody character or a sapphire in a nontraditional hue, these gems bring individuality and authenticity to every design.
Sapphires in Every Shade
While blue sapphires may be the classic choice, sapphires actually occur in nearly every color: deep green, golden yellow, blush pink, vivid teal, and more. Seeing them all together is a rare opportunity, particularly in Boston. At Rare & Radiant, clients will be able to compare colors side by side, envisioning how each could shine in a custom engagement ring or fine jewelry setting.
Salt & Pepper Diamonds: Character and Contrast
Salt and pepper diamonds are filled with natural inclusions that create striking gray-and-white patterns. No two are alike, which makes them perfect for clients who want a diamond with personality and depth. Their modern, moody character has made them increasingly popular for unique engagement rings and statement jewelry. At Rare & Radiant, you’ll be able to see these captivating diamonds in person - and imagine how they could be paired with a custom ring setting.
Unique Cuts and Bold Designs
Gemstones don’t just shine because of color - the cut plays a huge role in their personality. From elongated ovals and geometric step cuts to asymmetrical freeforms, unique cuts highlight the individuality of each stone. These cuts pair beautifully with modern settings, creating jewelry that feels both timeless and bold. Whether you’re drawn to sapphires, salt and pepper diamonds, or classic white diamonds, pairing them with an unexpected cut ensures your piece is one-of-a-kind.
