What Your Ring Says About You According to Chloe Alpert of Teaman & Company
Everyone remembers that classic Sex & the City episode when Carrie discovered that the ring Aidan had bought for her was…well..not her at all. It took the help of her best friend Miranda to finally get her what she wanted.
An engagement ring from your partner is supposed to be a representation of his or her love for you but also a visual representation of how well they know your tastes and really you as a person. Picking out a ring is possibly one of the greatest challenges a man will ever face. They get the importance, but sometimes they might need a little help. This is where Chloe Alpert and her company Teaman & Company come into play.
Teaman & Company is a colored gemstone engagement ring company. They pitch themselves as the jeweler to the millennial generation, and are trying to change the way people buy luxury jewelry online. Teaman lets customers try on 3D-printed versions of their rings before they take the leap and buy them. Chloe, who was a natural born entrepreneur says she launched her first company at 15, and her team is trying to change the way people think about gemstones. Our society’s association of diamonds as the only suitable engagement stone is a false one. “Unlike diamonds, colored gemstones are one of a kind,” says Alpert. “There will never be two colored gems the same; they are each as truly unique as a couple’s love. A colored gemstone engagement ring ensures you won’t see another woman wearing a ring identical to yours, and is a way to really differentiate yourself. ”
Alpert stresses that diamonds aren’t the only precious stones in the world. “Just in the same way diamonds have various prices, some of the finest gemstones can be more expensive than diamonds — it all comes down to quality.” She also points out that style icons such as Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn were all about the colored gems. In fact, it’s clear they’re coming back in style in full force, as big names like Elizabeth Hurley, Halle Berry, and of course Princess Kate herself are donning gorgeous colored engagement rings.
But this is more than just a jewelry company. They are a relationship company and aim to help men and women buy the perfect piece of jewelry for any occasion with the aim to be the company women go to for their first significant jewelry purchase, whether it be for a marriage, anniversary, or graduation. “We realize that we’re there for the most important emotional events and milestones in people’s lives – and we take that responsibility seriously. We want to make sure that everything is perfect.”
Teaman wants to help people discover the incredible world of colored gemstones – a fascinating world that often gets looked over.
