The private symbolism that surely graces Anne Hathaway's custom-designed engagement ring remains an intimate secret between husband and wife. Thankfully, there is still plenty to talk about in the public arena. First, we know the diamonds in Ms. Hathaway's ring were ethically sourced by the prestigious company, Kwiat. In business since 1907, Kwiat has distinguished itself as one of New York's finest diamond suppliers. Kwiat has mastered the art of cutting diamonds and strives to make a perfect match between diamond and setting. In Ms. Hathaway's case, the perfect match setting was designed by her perfect match, actor/jewelry designer Adam Shulman. Having met his business partner, goldsmith Heidi Nahser Fink, on the set of Tim Burton's Alice and Wonderland, Mr. Shulman stepped through the magical rabbit hole of jewelry design in 2011, when he Ms. Nahser Fink established James Banks Designs. The company is named after his grandfather, who designed romantic jewels for his wife long ago. In keeping with their company's namesake, Mr. Shulman and Ms. Nahser Fink collaborate to make handcrafted jewelry which alludes to bygone eras. Their antiques-inspired jewels are exactly what you'd expect to find in a Steampunk grandmother's jewelry box. Lightbulb-shaped pendants filled with minuscule black diamonds and a ruby, anatomically correct butterfly pendants offered in various stages of development, and a most elegant jeweled key charm which profits their favored charity, World of Children. With his keen eye for design, Mr. Shulman fashioned for his bride-to-be an exquisitely delicate platinum band paved in diamonds on which a gorgeous emerald-cut diamond rests majestically. People boasts the most detailed glimpse of Mr. Shulman's brilliant creation. Their capture illuminates the fantasy-inspired lines of the band as it rises to meet its showstopping diamond.
