Asher Cut Eternity

After they were awarded an exclusive contract for Louis Vuitton in 2007, Lili Jewelry’s parent company Lili Diamonds impressed Louis Vuitton jewelry director Albert Bensoussan to such an extent he believed that the manufacturer’s diamond cutters in Tel Aviv could cut Vuitton diamonds blindfolded, if asked. 

A brand owned and operated by Israel-based diamond company Lili Diamonds — which was originally called Siman-Tov Bros. at the time of its founding in 1981 — Lili Jewelry has facilities in Hong Kong and New York City and employs a global design team known worldwide for its trademarked original cuts and deep expertise of constantly morphing fashion and jewelry trends. 

Lili Diamonds’ cutters are extraordinarily seasoned in their field and knowledgeable of the ultra-cherished April birthstone, and two of Lili Jewelry’s five leading individual cuts — the Lily cut, Orchidea cut, Crisscut, Crisscut Cushion and Meteor cut — are only available to jewelry lovers as embedded into jewelry designs created by Lili Jewelry. 

The brand’s parent company still holds the worldwide patent for its flower-like Lily Cut, granted in 1996, but since the agreement between Louis Vuitton and Lily Diamonds was inked in 2007, all Lily cut diamonds are reserved for Louis Vuitton jewelry, which is an ideal pairing owing to the fact that the company’s monogram’s flowers so often appear on its trunks (the famous LV monogram was first used in 1896).

Along with worldwide recognition, Lili Jewelry has garnered accolades including being named one of the top ten diamond brands by the Rapaport Group. Former Miss Nevada Sarah Chapman once wore a $2M collection of Lili Jewelry designs to the Encore Beach Club and Surrender Nightclub at Encore Las Vegas in 2012.

Wedding rings have symbolized love and devotion for centuries. The pharaohs of Ancient Egypt believed that wedding rings were symbols of eternity. The “ouroboros” rings of the era, which depicted a serpent swallowing its own tail, represented renewal and eternal life — a motif at the center of the Serpenti collection from Italian fine jewelry house Bulgari. Preferred materials in the production of wedding bands have changed over time; metals such as iron in early Rome replaced the wedding rings of bone and ivory that came before them. But the circle has always symbolized an unending pledge of love to one’s partner.

In the case of Cartier’s Trinity wedding ring, the “trinity knot” depicts unity and eternity. The legendary French brand’s minimalist Love wedding band is inseparable from immutable love, in that it joined the iconic Love bracelet, which initially could only be unlocked with its accompanying gold-vermeil screwdriver. Wedding rings designed by Tiffany & Co., one of the most prominent purveyors of luxury goods in the United States, have also long been popular for the newly betrothed.

Although wedding bands were traditionally given to women, the practice of men donning wedding rings became popular during the mid-20th century, as devoted husbands wanted to wear a symbol of their love when they shipped off to war. Wedding rings are often worn by both partners today, and men’s engagement rings are becoming more fashionable too (see our engagement ring buying guide).
