we're Obsessed!

When Reese Whitherspoon’s fiancé Jim Toth wanted to get his beloved an engagement ring he quite wisely went to William Goldberg for a 4-carat Ashoka. One of the most beautiful diamond styles, the proprietary shape is a modified cushion based on a legendary gem named for the Buddhist warrior-king Ashoka, which translates to "the power to remove sorrow." Since this is the space for budget-free fantasies, in my dreams I would go even bigger and double up on the design. This gorgeous ring boasts over 12-carats of sparkle, so If people asked about my flashy fashions I would casually drop Elizabeth Taylor’s legendary line about her hot rocks: “Big girls need big diamonds.”
