At 18 years old I met my husband at a Mardi Gras ball during our freshman year of college. That night I knew I would marry him someday. As a young student, unsure of my life's direction, I initially majored in Civil Engineering, then switched to Accounting, yet neither felt right. Despite contemplating if college was the right path, I persevered, driven by the investment of time and money. Simultaneously, my search for engagement rings that were vintage and unique online proved fruitless.

Drawn to distinctive designs, I stumbled upon a designer incorporating tapered baguettes in a way I had never seen before. Enthralled by her talent and nontraditional background, I was obsessed with her beautiful designs. Her journey sparked something in me, making me realize my passion for design. Inspired to work for myself, I decided to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

Rekindling my drawing skills from years past, creativity flowed onto paper and sticky notes. Convinced that I'd found my calling, I committed to designing timeless vintage-inspired rings as well as educating myself about the jewelry industry. During this time I established professional relationships with reputable diamond and gemstone suppliers as well as skilled artisans to help bring my designs to life.
