Barry Verragio Jewelry
>> Wednesday, November 26, 2008
Barry Verragio had years of experience as a jeweler, concentrating his skills on working with diamonds and platinum, but his real inspiration for creating his line of bridal jewelry came when he decided to propose to his then girlfriend, Tanya. To make a ring that represented how he felt, Barry invented a new technique - the Lumino Setting - that suspends the diamond above the ring. The diamonds are exposed on all sides to light, and in some rings even the side and accent stones are suspended in modified Lumino settings for maximum brilliance.
After creating a ring for her and in the process also creating a unique stone setting technique, he took the plunge and started his own jewelry company called Verragio. He makes rings for both the bride and the groom.
Having more then fifteen years of experience in designing fine jewelry, Barry verragio is known for his high quality very innovative and elegant engagement rings and wedding bands. Earlier he particularly drawn to working with platinum and diamonds, because the neutral metal allows you to really see the diamond's beauty.
The Paradiso Collection By Verragio was specifically designed with the wearer's comfort in mind. The elegant scrolling design on the inside of each ring provides the ultimate in everyday comfort, unseen in any other design. It hugs the contours of your finger to create the perfect fit and prevent the ring from spinning on your finger.
To enhance his natural designing abilities, Barry Verragio studied at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Having mastered ring design, he worked for several years in the jewelry industry.
Barry and Tanya have now been married for over ten years and have two young boys. His marriage remains his primary inspiration for new designs. Barry says, "I believe a union between a husband and wife is as pure, brilliant, and should have as much fire as the moment she first received her engagement ring.
