## Resource

This week Alison has a sparkling chat with Mercedes Smith owner and designer at Alexis Gallery , a custom jewelry design studio in Toronto who create the most gorgeous pieces. We love to talk about diamonds, bling trends and engagement rings here and Mercedes and Alison became fast friends on this show because they speak the same love language when it comes to fine jewelry. Mercedes gets into what she's loving when it comes to engagement rings, how the average carat size for a centre diamond is on the rise (thank you lab diamonds!), how she and the team at Alexis Gallery work to create dream engagement rings for couples and more. If an engagement this summer is something you are planning for this glittery episode is for you.
