Come follow us on Spotify for a sparkling serenade! 🎶

Spotify cover with James Allens engagement ring on it

Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds. Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend. Musicians have long been fascinated by the sparkly stones and feature them prominently in their lyrics.

At James Allen, the feeling is mutual. We love a good bop, whether we’re handcrafting our rings, photographing them in 360° HD, or writing about them on our blog. It’s how we get our diamonds to dance with the light! Well, that and polishing them to a very high degree of precision.

Bop While You Shop

As purveyors of sparkle for more than 13 years, we’ve learned a thing or two about setting a romantic mood. Now, we’ve taken that knowledge and poured it into Spotify playlists that might just be the soundtrack to your love. They’re also perfect background listening for when you’re ring shopping on JamesAllen.com (hint, hint!). So, plug in your headphones, crank up the volume, and prepare to be inspired!

Capital Records

Cocktail party tunes with an edge, carefully chosen for our Washington, D.C. retail experience.

Visit our brand new M street location for diamond engagement ring and jewelry shopping, expert consultations, cutting-edge immersive tech, a coffee bar, a photobooth, and more!

Our round-the-world trip starts out in Zamorano, Honduras. Hopeful hubby Aaron left girlfriend Maria a note instructing her to meet him by a tire swing in their neighbor’s yard. As she waited obligingly by the swing, her knight in shining amour pulled up in a red vintage truck. He presented her with a bouquet of flowers and an impossible-to-resist pavé halo diamond ring, to which she couldn’t help but say yes.

The teary-eyed romantic then took the plunge and presented his love with a single row pavé infinity ring by Martin Flyer. Noticing that he was holding the box upside down, Carly quickly turned it right-side up and said yes through the laughter and the tears. Read more

The next leg of our whistle-stop tour takes us to the City of Angels via France.

All the way over on the other side of the world, a man named Arreytambe was planning an altogether more tropical proposal. He invited then-girlfriend Bessem to visit him on the idyllic island of Mauritius, where he had moved for work. After they’d spent some time enjoying all the island has to offer, Arreytambe arranged a private dinner on the beach, complete with waiter service, hidden photographer, and drone cam. Bessem could barely contain her excitement when he got down on one knee and pulled out that diamond split shank double halo pavé ring. And who could blame her? It is quite stunning! Read more

Our last stop takes us to Kingston, Jamaica and the aptly named Hope Gardens, where churchgoers Karamo and Renee got engaged. Karamo told a blindfolded Renee they were going out for a surprise dinner and drove around in circles to disorient her. In fact, he was planning to pop the question in a part of the sunken garden that he and his friends had decorated. Not even a few brief rain showers could dampen the mood of this joyous occasion. Needless to say, she said yes to him and her falling edge pavé diamond ring (in that order). Read more
