27 years at the bench. A full page devoted to the details that matter.
LAMOR&CO is featured in NOW Weddings, Digital Issue 33. In “The Ring Reality Check,” our founder, Mr. Mello, shares a diamond setter’s perspective on choosing, wearing, and protecting an engagement ring.
The feature appears on printed page 38 of the October 2026 digital issue. It brings the conversation back to the work behind a beautiful ring: the setting, the structure, the care, and the small details a photograph cannot explain.
The experience behind the perspective
Mr. Mello developed his craft in New York and brings 27 years of professional diamond-setting experience to LAMOR&CO in Florida. His perspective comes from working closely with the parts of a ring that keep a diamond secure and give the finished piece its balance and finish.
That experience shapes the advice shared in the feature. The conversation goes beyond the sparkle to consider how a ring is constructed, how it fits into everyday life, and when it needs professional attention.

“Good craftsmanship isn’t just about beauty. It’s about making sure a ring is built to last.”
Inside “The Ring Reality Check”
Know when to take your ring off
The article discusses activities that put pressure on the hands and why removing an engagement ring before those activities can help protect the setting.
Recognize the warning signs
A ring that catches on clothing, a change in the position of a diamond, or a bent setting deserves professional attention. The feature explains why some problems become clear only when a ring is examined closely.
Make maintenance part of ownership
The discussion includes professional inspections, routine care, and attention to the ring’s overall structure. Caring for a ring continues long after the day it is chosen.
Consider the whole design
The construction of the band, the height of the setting, and the way an engagement ring sits alongside a wedding band all belong in the decision. The feature encourages couples to consider comfort and everyday wear alongside appearance.
