Fabulous Fall Spotlight - Ceramique Fine Jewelry With a Giveaway!

I love the look of fine jewelry. I especially love when something is unique, and draws the attention of people I run into when I have it on. You can really tell when something has been designed and crafted with care. Have you ever seen ceramic jewelry before? I have seen a few pieces and was under the impression that there wasn’t much that could be done with ceramic designs, but the Ceramique collection designed by Etienne Perret has such a beautiful range of designs. 

While you can get a plain band like the pink one I picked and love, they also offer the most lovely unique designs with gems as well. They are made with hi-tech, eco-friendly materials which is always important. This stylish, ultra-durable jewelry is a perfect affordable alternative to traditional precious metal, for both men and women. I love that they have so many color options of black, white, chrome, pink, blue, green and chocolate, Ceramique is fun and fully customizable. It can be inlaid with 18kt gold and set with pearls or diamonds in any or all colors of the rainbow!



The ceramic is zirconia ceramic, mined in an ecologically friendly manner from the abundant zircon sands of Australia. The Ceramique rings are available in widths from 2-20mm. The ring is lightweight and super comfortable to wear. I loved the way the polished finish on mine shone and drew your eyes. I have been asked about it every time I wear it. Another thing that is really neat is that the rings can be personalized with laser engraving on the inside or outside surface.


In addition to being beautiful they are also durable. At 8.7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, it is nearly as hard as sapphire which makes it very versatile and durable--practically scratch and shatterproof. Even thin kitchen knives made of this material, which are much more fragile than sturdy rings, are basically shatterproof. If you drop a knife on its tip or use it to pry things open it can chip, but dropping one on the floor almost never causes it to shatter. They have tried repeatedly to crack one of Etienne’s Ceramique rings by dropping it on a marble floor and so far they’ve never broken one in this manner. They offer a 100% lifetime guarantee on all his Ceramique designs--if it's broken, Etienne will send you a replacement, no matter who's at fault!

While I have included pictures of several designs I invite you to browse the Ceramique site and fall in love with the beautiful unique pieces for yourself. You can also connect with them on Facebook. Make sure you come back here and enter to win your own Ceramique band too!
