Founder Melanie Casey is not only our president but also our designer! She personally designs all of our unique handcrafted engagement rings. As a meticulously trained bench jeweler and master goldsmith herself, Melanie is intimately involved with all aspects of production, sourcing, and quality assurance for each of our handcrafted engagement rings. While Melanie enjoys experimenting with engagement ring trends, like a bezel engagement ring or a wide band, she doesn’t define herself by them. Her collection of handcrafted engagement rings is both unique and timeless.

Yes! Our handmade engagement rings are just that, handmade! Our jewelers train for years to achieve master jeweler status, learning our proprietary techniques for delicate bands, hidden diamonds, and leveled accents one step at a time. But there’s so much more to our unique handcrafted engagement rings than the construction of the ring. Each gemstone or diamond ring handmade by one of our jewelers goes through a rigorous process that exceeds merely creating handcrafted engagement rings. Each of our unique handcrafted engagement rings is sent to our quality control team in Andover, Massachusetts, who ensure the craftsmanship meets our extremely high standards and therefore delivers on our promise to offer our clients the best quality engagement rings.

Designer Melanie Casey creates complex designs, so years of ongoing bench training are behind each of our unique handcrafted engagement rings. Our business model is unique: we have jewelers at two manufacturing studios and full-time bench jewelers who work from their home studios. Your Melanie Casey engagement ring will be handcrafted by a jeweler at one of our two studios (in Lexington, Kentucky or Andover, Massachusetts) or by a jeweler from their home bench. Our handcrafted engagement rings always use ethically sourced materials from trusted vendors and suppliers.

Our handcrafted engagement rings are the best quality engagement rings because of our careful hiring practices, extensive jeweler training, and our rigorous quality assurance process. Founder Melanie Casey has built a team of close-knit artisans who share her devotion to high craftsmanship and love of executing unique handcrafted engagement rings with precision. These jewelers train for years to achieve master jeweler status in order to execute Melanie’s complex designs. Once crafted, each of our handmade engagement rings is sent to Andover, Massachusetts, where it undergoes a comprehensive quality assurance process. While our timelines are longer than mass-manufactured jewelry brands, this ensures the best quality engagement rings with an unmatched warranty.

We take pride in being transparent, ethical, and moral when sourcing materials for our handmade engagement rings. We source focal diamonds, both natural and lab grown diamonds, from vetted stone suppliers that all comply with ethical diamond-related sanctions. In many cases, our diamonds and gemstones are custom cut for us by stone cutters Melanie personally knows. Metal is also sourced with intention, and it’s important to us to use recycled gold whenever possible.
