"I knew Kate was the artist I wanted to work with when I read her bio and what inspired her creations. As soon as I read that nature inspired her work I knew she was the artist we were going to work with. My fiancé and I visited Kate’s studio, and I fell in love with my ring. I wanted a piece that wasn’t traditional and represented nature. The intricate detail in my band and the natural Sapphire was hard not to stare at. Kate was so awesome to work with!  We were overwhelmed when walking into other stores but felt an immediate sense of home when walking into Kate’s studio. She worked with our budget and was helpful with relaying information to us in such a timely manner.  Thank you Kate for sharing your talents with us!"

When Alexa and her fiancé came to me looking for an engagement ring, Alexa knew that she wanted something different. She did not want the traditional white diamond engagement ring even though she had a family heirloom diamond. She immediately fell in love with my natural rose cut yellow sapphire ring. It was hand made in 14k yellow gold. The band is made from a twisting gold wire, and the stone is bezel set in a rustic style setting.

It is a truly amazing feeling when a client finds something that she really loves in my jewelry store! In this case, the perfect ring for Alexa was already made and ready. That is often the case, but if not we can work through my custom process together to find the perfect solution. And I am excited that I will also be making Alexa and her fiancé's custom wedding rings next! Stay tuned to see what we come up with. The wedding will be in December 2020...
