COVID-19 hit South Africa smack bang in the middle of wedding season.
As we locked down, a number of couples had to postpone their big day, which brought about much extra admin and disappointment.
While we all feel for those who had planned to tie the knot, not a great deal of attention has been paid to the pending and planned proposals that were put on hold.
Jewellery is not considered an essential item, so those stores aren’t currently operating, making it very difficult to shop for a ring.
One jewellery brand, however, has decided to keep the romance alive by ensuring that anybody who is getting or wanting to get engaged and those with an appetite for the finer things in life can design their dream rings through a personal portal that brings style and sophistication to your fingertips. They offer big discounts on custom made jewellery.
Shiny Rock Polished has become South Africa’s go-to online jewellery store. They appeal to trends in the market like the shift away from diamond rings to precious gems, while still offering more traditional brides with the option of the finest lab-grown diamonds.
(Lab-grown diamonds are indistinguishable from mined diamonds, without the damage that mining causes to the environment.)
If you’d like to go the diamond route – but with a unique twist – Salt & Pepper Diamonds are an on-trend and gorgeous way to pay homage to both tradition and your individuality. They have the finest diamonds and gemstones ethical sourced from the most reputable mines around the world. You can create a custom ring for as little as R8 000.

To really ensure the perfect design, you’ll have the option of consulting with the Shiny Rock Polished senior designer, Patricia Palm via Zoom, WhatsApp, Skype, or email, thereby building a trusted relationship with the person who will bring your vision to life.
Once you’ve created the ideal ring, it will be delivered to your door (when lockdown measures allow), thus avoiding yourself to move around too much and putting yourself at risk.
We’ve heard enough horror stories over the years to know that it helps to have an expert guide you through the process of designing a ring.
