Celebrity bridal designer opens shop on eBay

October 2009


Celebrity engagement ring designer Jean Dousset has opened a store on Internet auction site eBay.

The store, accessible at JeanDoussetDiamonds.com, features affordable, quality bridal jewelry by Dousset, who has designed engagement rings for celebrities such as Amy Adams and Eva Longoria Parker.

Dousset came up with the idea for an eBay store while building his own e-commerce site, which will launch this fall.

“I felt that luxury jewelry designers were absent from eBay, and that customers were not offered an opportunity to buy value and quality at the same time,” he said in a media release.

Dousset’s bridal designs for the auction site include four distinct engagement ring styles with diamonds featuring the four most popular cuts, F and G color, and VS clarity, all graded by the Gemological Institute of America.

The rings range in price from $2,900 to $11,900, depending on the carat weight of the center stone.

The site also includes wedding bands, diamond earrings and a “build-your-own ring” feature.

According to the release, all of Dousset’s jewelry is handmade in his Beverly Hills, Calif., workshop using platinum and rhodium-plated 18-karat white gold. Each ring has its own individual serial number and is stamped with the Jean Dousset hallmark.

Born in Paris in 1971, Dousset is an ancestor of Louis Cartier and launched his own collection in 2005.
