Alexa Collins and Tom Shields: Our 2021 Engagement Ring Story

Our August 2021 feature celebrated Alexa Collins and Tom Shields’ engagement and the round diamond engagement ring featured by Diamonds by Raymond Lee. This page preserves that original story and its photographs as an engagement archive.

The Story Behind the Gallery

The original article introduced the couple through a mixture of portraits, lifestyle photographs and a close view of the ring. The ring is the focus here: a round center stone in a slender setting, shown most clearly in the final black and white photograph.

These images belong to the 2021 feature. They record the occasion as it was shared then, without presenting older personal details or relationship information as current news.

A Closer Look at the Engagement Ring

The original store description identified a round brilliant diamond and an 18k gold setting. The photograph shows how the center stone sits above a narrow band. Exact carat weight, color, clarity and report details should be confirmed from the ring’s records, not estimated from the image.

Using the Design as Inspiration

If you like this style, begin with the balance between the center stone and the band. Try similar settings on your hand, check the height from the side and see how a wedding band would sit beside it. Small differences in those proportions can change the way a ring feels every day.
