These four words can change a womans life forever: Will you marry me?

Of course, the ritual is only complete after ones amore presents a small ring box with a tastefully selected offering inside; a bridal ring that reflects the character of ones beloved.

S imple and understated elegance, perhaps? Or maybe an oversized diamond that will shock and awe all who behold its divine grace?

  At Golden Whale Jewelry in downtown Cannon Beach, the sales team is experienced in helping prospective grooms select a ring that says, I love you, be mine forever and always.

  Right in the heart of the citys downtown area, the Golden Whale has welcomed lovers from across the globe for 25 years, beckoning them to come inside and find a token of their devotion or appreciation. Perhaps an heirloom piece that can be passed down from mother to daughter? Or something fun and fancy free? There is a wide-ranging collection to peruse, and finding something to fall in love with is no difficult task.

During this weekends Spring Unveiling Arts Festival, Golden Whale Jewelry will feature three popular designers: Chris Lachman, Michael Jiang and Evan Lloyd.

Lachman is well known for a wide-ranging line of rings with designs ranging from simple to ornate, and that often feature large collectors stones. The elegant rings designed by Jiang often feature smaller stones of amazing clarity and quality. And Lloyds high-quality sea life jewelry is the most detailed, as accurate as you are ever likely to find.

   Spring Unveiling is also an opportune time to examine Golden Whales collection because on Saturday, April 30, all gold jewelry will be discounted by 10 percent. This means that the exquisite work of designers Lachman and Jiang will be on sale, along with the Golden Whales own jewelry line which features designs in 14-karat gold.

The Golden Whales line was inspired by the same concept as the shop itself: jewelry that expresses joy and energy. The charming pendants, including Haystack Rock and Golden Whale designs, are perfect mementos of a romantic getaway at one of the worlds most beautiful beaches.
