Testimony
I feel so fortunate to have found Kate. Throughout the process of designing my rings, Kate welcomed me and my partner into her studio for conversations about so much more than jewelry.
She created moments of pause, which can get lost in the whirlwind of planning a wedding, and made space to reflect on the meaning of our wedding rituals, like exchanging rings. Kate offered words of wisdom and advice, asked thoughtful questions, shared anecdotes from her own life, and became part of our wedding journey. I felt deeply connected to her and the creative process, which made my rings that much more unique and special.
We feel so deeply connected to our ring and got to learn more about our identities and values as a couple but also as individuals during this process - thank you to Kate for facilitating that.
We have received so much love from our friends and family over the last few days - much of their excitement being about the ring and its unique qualities. We wanted to express our deepest gratitude to Kate for creating such a beautiful symbol of our relationship.
"I’m absolutely in love with my custom heirloom diamond ring! Working directly with Kate on designing the ring was very special and it came out even more beautiful than expected."
As soon as we got off the phone with Kate, we were giddy with excitement. We'd spoken with four other jewelers before her but none had clicked in the same way. She listened to what we had in mind and made very thoughtful suggestions.
Thank you Kate for fielding our never-ending questions, making us feel comfortable in a process that otherwise could be quite awkward, and ultimately creating something we'll cherish forever.
"I really respect the way she works, balancing the integrity of her vision and style as an artist with the desires of the customer. She asked many thoughtful questions to understand both the practicalities of how I would wear the ring, as well as our thoughts on how it would look, feel, and symbolize our relationship."
