          ## Our Company
          Established in 1946 In 1946, Henry and Anna Spitz realized the culmination of years of sacrifice and determination with the opening of the first Spitz Jewelers in Oakland. 1986 brought the expansion of the store to Downtown Walnut Creek and, once again, the word "family" became synonymous not only with who we are, but our relationship with our customers and community.

# Ring Styles
## Traditional
Rings in this category are typically Yellow Gold wedding bands for him and her - this includes Solitaire rings as well.
---
## Antique
Rings must be at least 75 years old to qualify for being considered ‘Antique.’ They will typically have rose cut or miners cut diamonds, a large amount of milgrain beading and hand engravings.
## Art Deco
Art Deco rings tend to have the same flare that Antique rings would have, but are instead crafted using modern tools with a ring that was created in the 20th century. They will also typically have a thinner bottom shank and a bigger head for the center stone.
##
## Classic
Classic rings share many characteristics with Traditional style rings/bands, but additionally include Delicate Solitaire as well Delicate rings that have a thin shank and with side set stones.
## Estate
Estate style jewelry is noted for being on the flashier side: ornately designed necklaces or rings filled with diamonds fall under this category. One may even find brooches in the shapes of various plants that also have diamonds included in them.
## Vintage
Vintage rings lie in the same spectrum as Art Deco and Antique styles: rings/bands will typically have a lot of hand engravings, milgrain beading, intricate metal work and many micro pave set diamonds.

* Setting Types
# Setting Types
## Prong
A prong setting - which usually has 4 or 6 prongs - is one of the most popular settings on the market, and is used for all types of faceted stones.
## Shared Prong
Similar to the Prong setting, the Shared Prong gets its name from prongs of metal placed between two stones.
## Bezel
A versatile choice used for any type of stone, the bezel setting sees the diamond set deep inside of the mounting while the metal is folded over the stone to create a strip that holds the diamond in place.
## Half Bezel
This setting utilizes essentially the same approach as the Bezel setting, except a Half Bezel is when the stone’s girdle is not fully covered.
## Channel
Another setting that can be used for any type of stone, the channel setting sees the goldsmith creating a channel - as the name would suggest - and then cut seats in it where the diamond will sit. After each diamond is placed in the new channel, the goldsmith secures the stones in place by hammering the upper sides of the channel walls.
## Pavé
With pavé settings, several small gemstones - usually diamonds - are set closely together, separated and held in place by small beads of the setting metal. This produces what resembles a continuous string of diamonds or other gems on its surface.
## Tension
A tension ring is a type of ring in which the gemstone is held in place by pressure rather than prongs, a bezel or other mounting. This requires gemstones to have a Hardness level of 9 or above.
## Bar
Similar to the Channel setting, the Bar setting sees that diamonds are set between bars, where they are first nested in grooves and then overlapped by metal using a hammering tool. Like the Tension setting, this also requires gemstones to have a Hardness level of 9 or above.

# Tips & Tricks
## What to Expect
When making a purchase as seismic as a ring, the customer should expect to closely analyze various facets of the production process - ones that will inevitably inform their final decision. To begin with, observe the thickness of the ring, the metal being used and the way the side and center stones are set. It also helps to view the diamond with your naked eye - first in both natural and artificial light and then through a loop microscope. Finally, be sure to look over the certification provided with the diamond, as well as its specs.
## Don’t Forget
Of course, with all the major observations present during the buying process, there are often several small aspects sometimes forgotten along the way that potentially make or break a ring choice. For example, be sure to examine your ring when it is set and finished; check the craftsmanship of the ring when it is fully completed to make sure that it is up to high standards - to see if the center stone of the diamond is at set level. Moreover, don’t forget to ask about the warranty provided with the ring and what it does and doesn’t cover.  Finally, after you propose, have your fiance try the ring on when their hands are both hot and cold to test if the ring still fits properly.
