    Brides will swoon for sparkly rings from this female-founded jewelry line

    CultureMap Create
    Apr 26, 2021 | 12:00 pm

    Spring — and love — is in the air. If finding the perfect engagement ring is on your horizon (or maybe upgrading the one you already have), consider LovBe lab-grown diamonds.

    In addition to their ethical and environmental benefits, LovBe has a few dazzling attributes special only to them:

    • Twice the carat weight of a mined diamond for the same price. Talk about more for your money!
    • Superior color and brilliance. Not all diamonds are created equal, whether lab-grown or mined. Only two of every 10 lab-grown diamonds examined by LovBe's experts are accepted as part of their collection. 98 percent of LovBe diamonds are graded Ideal or Excellent Cut — their diamonds are literally the best of the best, for the best value.
    • A female-founded brand. In a very male-dominated industry, LovBe is unique in that it was started by a woman — who actually had no background in the jewelry industry!

    Lab-grown diamonds have identical chemical, physical, and optical properties to an earth-mined diamond. As testimony to this, the Federal Trade Commission removed the word "natural" from the basic definition of a diamond in 2018.

    And launching this month is LovBe's first exclusive collection: LovBe Eternal, a capsule collection of nine engagement ring designs featuring fancy shape side stones.

    From sleek, tapered baguettes to sophisticated pears to timeless round brilliants, LovBe Eternal allows couples to build their perfect engagement ring. Simply select a center stone of your choosing that fits both your design desires and budget, and then marvel at the ring that exemplifies your unique past, present, and future.

    This new collection also marks the introduction of the LovBe Hallmark, a single, round brilliant lab-grown diamond securely placed where only the wearer will know of its presence. The diamond sits close to the vena amoris, which according to the ancient Romans went directly to the heart.

    The diamond will be accompanied by LovBe’s signature "L heart" engraved stamp, ensuring the authenticity of each LovBe Exclusive Collection ring.

    From customized designs to unparalleled customer service, your LovBe experience will be as rare and refined as your chosen diamond. Let LovBe be your guide to the perfect engagement ring — begin exploring your options today.

    Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds!

    Outdoor clothing brand and clean makeup studio coming to Rice Village

    Rice Village is adding two more tenants.

    Rice Village continues to diversify its tenant mix with two new additions that are making their Houston debuts. They are:

    • Jones Road, a makeup store in the former MAC Cosmetics space at 2411 Times Blvd.
    • Faherty, an outdoor-focused clothing brand at 2414 University Blvd.

    Founded by makeup artist Bobbi Brown, Jones Road is known for clean, multi-use makeup items that simplify everyday routines. Its known for its signature Miracle Balm that gives skin a healthy glow. As the brand’s first Houston location, it will allow shoppers to experience the products in person before buying when it opens later this year.

    Twin brothers Mike and Alex Faherty founded Faherty as a premium apparel brand for outdoor activities. The brand features a range of knitwear and items that are easy to layer — all of which are made from premium materials. When it opens in spring 2027, the store will stock clothing for both men and women.

    "Our goal has always been to create a thoughtfully curated mix of retailers that enhances the Rice Village experience," Rice Real Estate Company’s Sam Dike said in a statement. "Jones Road and Faherty each bring a strong identity and loyal following, and we are thrilled to introduce these brands to Houston while continuing to elevate Rice Village as a premier destination."

    In June, Japanese bookstore Kinokuniya announced it will open its second Houston-area store in Rice Village at 2369 Rice Blvd. Slated to open this fall, the 5,600-square-foot store will sell books, stationary, paper goods, and more.

    Rice Village has been in an almost-decade long process of upgrading its retail offerings with more national and international brands. Last year, Rice University announced the Gateway Project, a $120 million endeavor to create a seamless, pedestrian-friendly corridor linking the campus to the heart of the Village.
