She Said Yes Unlocks the Emotional Code of Jewelry with Personalized Customization
NEW YORK, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the meaning of luxury shifts toward individuality and emotional value, She Said Yes is leading a quiet revolution in fine jewelry: putting personalization at the core of the wedding ring experience.

Every design decision reflects the couple's story, from meaningful dates and initials to form factors that align with personal values or shared histories. In a time when consumers seek authenticity in the products they wear, this degree of personalization elevates jewelry from ornament to heirloom.

By offering a thoughtful alternative to off-the-shelf options, She Said Yes appeals to modern couples who view their rings not only as symbols of commitment, but as enduring expressions of identity, history, and meaning.

Lynn Loves Jewelry: April Showers Bring May Flowers
Pity the poor jewelry columnist. When she is searching for a theme for her monthly jewelry report, December is a no brainer, February is laden with sticky hearts, June is always full of Pride (watch this space next month!) but May? In desperation, she falls back on the tired maxim that 'April showers bring May flowers,' and maybe they do—but even if the weather doesn't bear this out, there is a plethora of floral jewelry out there that would delight anyone who is ready to throw off a coat and slide into a summer frock (or sadly those super-revealing pastel yoga pants that are plaguing Manhattan streets these days) and decorate herself with golden blossoms. It turns out that this is hardly new. The ancient Egyptians loved flower-theme jewelry—they thought it symbolized fertility. During the Renaissance, motifs featured roses and lilies as talismans of love and devotion. And of course the Victorians, who it seems never said what they were thinking out loud, used flowers as a veritable secret language. According to the folks over at Smithsonian Gardens, 'Nearly all Victorian homes would own at least one of the guide books dedicated to the 'language of flowers.' The authors of these guidebooks used visual and verbal analogies, religious and literary sources, folkloric connections, and botanical attributes to derive the various associations for the flowers.' So tulips and roses allegedly conveyed passion, peonies whispered shyness, and a white violet or a daisy denoted innocence. Incorporating these symbols into jewelry meant that, say, a rosy ring with a ruby center gifted to a potential sweetheart was indeed loaded with meaning. Or maybe not! Maybe, to quote our good friend Gertrude Stein, 'a rose is a rose is a rose.' And though we are not convinced that she was talking about jewelry, her meaning is clear—divest these baubles of any preconceived ideas, drip yourself in dangling daisies and Bakelite bouquets, and go out and greet the new season.

A New App Uses A.I. to Speed Jewelry Design
Whether for a simple pearl earring or a gem-encrusted brooch, the design process can be a complex one, often requiring multiple changes in the plans. Does a piece look better in rose gold or white? With rubies or diamonds? But the creators of Blng, an app that uses artificial intelligence to assist jewelry design, say that in seconds, their product can transform sketches or drawings into renderings so detailed they look like photographs, reducing the time it takes to turn an idea into images suitable for presentation to clients and manufacturers. The material initially uploaded to the app 'can be a sketch, a photo, a keyword; inspiration comes from all kinds of places, and we wanted a platform where you can visualize ideas,' said Valérie Leblond, who created the app along with her husband, Dumëne Comploi. Mr. Comploi offered an example: 'If you're somewhere on a mountain and see a beautiful flower, you can take a photograph, remove the background and run that,' or even do an initial sketch in the app. Then the material can be manipulated with a combination of text commands and in-app tools. The idea for the app was born when Mr. Comploi, an architect and former creative designer at Walt Disney Imagineering in Burbank, Calif., was designing an engagement ring for Ms. Leblond. He asked Christian Tse, a manufacturer he knew, to produce it. 'That ultimately led us to discuss the potential for a system that could translate hand sketches into 3-D jewelry renderings,' Mr. Tse wrote in an email. (Ms. Leblond, who previously worked in production and development in Montreal for Cirque du Soleil, and Mr. Comploi were married in 2018.) The startup, which was founded in 2023 and now has 12 employees working out of Los Angeles, said it generated $3 million in investments in April. And last year at the Viva Technology event in France, it won the LVMH Innovation Award, which offered mentoring from LVMH's investment specialists and partnerships with its brands, an arrangement that now has Blng working with Tiffany & Company. In addition to the design-rendering technology, the company has been working on a virtual try-on process as well as digital templates, animations and other materials brands can use to market their products. Early access to the design tech has been offered through the company's website, with an iOS smartphone app and a web-based platform scheduled to be introduced in early June. A monthly subscription starts at $49, the couple said. In demonstrations during a video call, Mr. Comploi used the app to transform a doodle into a diamond-studded gold earring and a childlike drawing of a bumblebee into a gem-laden pendant. The program also displayed an image of a man's watch in what appeared to be yellow gold that it then transformed into white gold. During the process, a chat window displayed his prompts and then A.I.-generated comments on how the app had interpreted them. He used a toggle feature during each demonstration to adjust the degree of A.I. influence on the results. The partners said they included such features to give designers precise knowledge about and control of the technology as well as an easy way to return to earlier iterations. In the future, Ms. Leblond and Mr. Comploi said, they would like to include intelligence that could understand a personal aesthetic, enabling the tech to predict where a designer might go next with a particular piece. Dov Tannenbaum of Leo Schachter Diamonds in New York City wrote in an email that his company had been using the app for a couple of image-related tasks and achieved results that 'significantly improved our speed and quality' in the design and marketing phases of new product development. Some jewelry designers have been using A.I. to enhance and expedite the design process, but — as Michael Magee, an expert on jewelry industry technology with the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, Calif., wrote in an email — there is still controversy about using it as a creative source. 'Jewelry designers are creative people,' he wrote, 'so there are many who have reservations about giving up their creative agency to A.I.' Ms. Leblond and Mr. Comploi said they understand the hesitation. But artists throughout history have adopted what was considered new technology, Mr. Comploi noted, allowing some to try new approaches. 'To me, art is about excellence; it is about growing, about doing the most beautiful things,' he said. 'And technology is not something that should scare you; it is something that should empower you to make better art.'
