CEO and Founder of Charles Winston, Inc.

Fourth generation jeweler Charles Winston's deep appreciation for beautifuljewelry is a result of his rich jewelry heritage. At the age of 17, his father broughtCharles into the family business. Growing up in the jewelry industry Charlesworked in various capacities to make his own distinctive mark.

While working in these various capacities, Charles noticed the number ofcompanies that were emulating the classic fine jewelry look, but producing the finejewelry look in a lesser quality. Charles began asking himself, what it would takefor all women to enjoy beautiful classic looks without forfeiting the quality that heso much admired.

Around 1992, eighteen years after he started working in the jewelry industry,Charles realized he could create beautiful fine jewelry in that same fashion that allwomen could enjoy and thus began his quest to produce the worldʼs finest jewelryfrom genuine and lab-created gemstones. By following five basic principles, heembarked on a line that would change the industry, which resulted in the creationThe Charles Winston Collection.

What Makes More Different?Charles Winston, Inc. in

collaboration with Charles &

Colvard is able to keep the

costs at more reasonable

levels.

Charles got away from the

mundane looks that the other

distributors of Moissanite® are

selling.

.

Charles Winston brings his

trademark looks of big, over the

top items, using interesting

color combinations and plating

colors to accent the stones.

Charles Winston is a name that

evokes thoughts of the highest

quality standards in the jewelry

industry.

.

Charlesʼ new designs using

Moissanite® with genuine

colored stones, including

sapphire, pink sapphire, yellow

sapphire and ruby, just to name

a few will add an entire new

excitement to the product.

This is a beautiful ring. Compared to a diamond there is no

difference. It is exactly the same as a

diamond ring with one exception the

price. If it were diamonds it would cost

around $9000.There are a lot of

moisannite stones some are yellow or

greenish in hue, not this one. This is

closer to the G,H ,I category. The

setting is Lucerne which costs more

than the standard settings.I have been

looking for awhile and this ring

averaged $1750 to $2100 for 1 and

3/4 carats with a yellow tinge the

better ones (like this) $2700 and up. It seems that this stone is

very popular and supply and demand has driven up the pricing

.You must see it to believe it, once you do you will never buy

a diamond again. I certainly wont.

Diamonds Don't EvenCompare To Moissanite!"This ring is GORGEOUS! I had already had

my heart set on Moissanite before stopping

by the Fort Wayne Helzberg store...but was

just shopping around to see what carat size

was appropriate for me...with the help of

Craig I decided anything bigger than a 1ct.

was TOO much for me! He was so helpful

and seemed more like a friend then a sales

person...which I appreciated greatly! He

introduced me to the "IMPERIAL Moissanite"

that is only sold at Helzberg...and I was sold

once again on Moissanite! He then showed

me the clearance price, and I was at the

counter putting it on Layaway immediately!

My boyfriend and I are not yet engaged, but

will be eventually and we couldn't pass up

such a steal! We plan to remove the stone

and have a setting custom made for me,

when the time is right for us...but either way,

with the original setting or another...this is

just STUNNING! You won't be sorry...afterall,

where else can you get a PERFECT 1ct.

solitaire for $549??? It's a no brainer!"

Helzberg - October 22, 2009

I first discovered Moissanite while doing research for engagement rings. After living in Europe

for 2 years I learned a lot about diamonds and the cartels. I felt as

I had been living in a fog about what the diamond industry was

really about and how the American culture has been captivated by

the media, myself included.There is no doubt the diamond is

beautiful, what we believe it represents is also beautiful, however

a moissanite to me is more beautiful. I read article after article, I

compared charts about the science of moissanite, I tried looking

for negative comments and had trouble. I then did a comparison

between a diamond and a moissanite, and I found that not only do

the science and numbers work in favor, but the physical beauty

was a delight. The flash and color beams like a star, and ironically

originally coming from a meteorite makes perfect sense.

I feel like I have a piece of a star at the base of my finger, it is a

gorgeous gem and wont cost me an extra mortgage to wear it. To

me it means not only beauty and strength, but the education and

knowledge I hold of the world. Thanks for the opportunity to share

my story, I couldn't be happier or prouder with my upcoming

engagement ring!

C&C Testimonials - Rachel W. - Milwaukee, WI

WOW!! Can't stop staring!! I just received this ring in the 2 carat/yellow gold. OMG, its beautiful!

I bought the 1 carat last year around this time and I am so pleased

that I decided to get the two carat. This ring is gorgeous and has a

good amount of gold. You can actually feel the weight to it, as

opposed to some rings that are so lightweight, you cannot feel them

in your hand. I cannot take my eyes off of it! December is 27 years

for us and this is my new wedding ring. :-)) The sparkle is blinding

and oh, so breathtaking!
