Raw Diamond Jewelry by Todd Reed
I've never been a big fan of diamonds (I even have a solitaire ruby on my wedding band instead of a diamond) but these raw diamonds in jewelry designs by Todd Reed are something else altogether. Not only are they colorful, but unique and not as flashy as traditional diamonds, which I'm sure is a love it/hate it sort of thing. To me there's something very cool about enjoying a stone thats been in the earth for ages without cutting or polishing it -- just appreciating it as it is. Although Todd Reed's latest release is a line of raw diamond cuff links for men, the rest of his collection is equally beautiful. My favorite is this cluster ring made of gold and raw diamonds for $9,375.
Thanks Marc!

I've seen Todd Reed's work at Altered Space Gallery in LA. I didn't know what the stones were until I was told they were raw diamonds..wow! What a different take on fine jewelry. I was told that he uses all recycled gold and that he makes each piece by hand. That's something special. check out www.alteredpsacegallery.com for other pictures. it's beautiful work!

Todd Reed's walks to a different beat for sure but the work is elegant and beautiful by anyone's standards. The best place to order from my experience is Altered Space Gallery in Venice - I think the last person mentioned them. We searched for a while before we ordered from them. Their website is http://www.AlteredSpaceGallery.com/toddreed. We worked with them to purchase our rings and it was a great experience. No hassels, people who seemed to really care that we got what we wanted, and, of course TODD REED! what more can you ask?
Thanks, Joe c., NYC

Well THANK YOU! We live in Los Angeles so we went to Altered Space Gallery in Venice to check out the Todd Reed rings. And we ordered our wedding rings on the spot!! We have been looking for about three months but when we saw Todd Reed's work it just all came together. He loves his, I love mine and we are very happy. I want to plug Altered Space because they were so nice and easy to work with: http://www.AlteredSpaceGallery.com/toddreed. Thanks, Sandrina
