“Tessa is a gem. She designed a truly one-of-a-kind engagement ring for my wife, collaborating with me through 60+ emails to nail every detail and 3 in person secret sessions. She then did it all over again for my wife's wedding band, this time working directly with her (a professional designer with an animation background) to go back and forth on 3D renderings. On top of all of this, she operated completely inside of my budget and never pressured me to pay more than I was comfortable with.

Tessa is cool while being completely down to earth, and she has incredible taste and execution while still being a warm soul. She was able to draw ideas out of me while gently providing guard rails when I needed them and the results were incredible. My wife gets compliments on her rings everywhere we go.”

“Tessa created the engagement and wedding rings of my dreams. When my now-husband proposed, the ring he had designed with her exceeded anything I had imagined for myself. The band, however, was mine to figure out. I came in with vague descriptions like “a fairytale tiara,” along with specific taste, and I wasn’t sure what it would feel like to collaborate with Tessa on something so personal. Meeting her put me at ease right away. What I appreciated most was her ability to incorporate feedback at every stage and truly include me in the process. Even very close to production, I came in with a last-minute and not-so-straightforward request and she integrated it into the design beautifully. I feel incredibly lucky to have rings that feel so uniquely mine. I’m constantly getting compliments on Tessa’s work, sometimes multiple times from the same person. I couldn't have possibly asked for a better experience and better results, so grateful my husband found Tessa!!!”

“I wanted an engagement ring with a lot of design elements from things that bring me joy, and I was worried it was going to be too much or too complicated, but Tessa knocked this challenge out of the park!  I felt listened to and guided in the best of ways. She created this sculptural piece that is both nature infused and classic at the same time. She put in so much attention to detail, creativity, and patience through the design process. From the openness to work with the stone of my dreams (a fantasy cut that took months to secure), to designing the perfect texture and shape for the shank, and prongs, to finding the perfect side gemstones, Tessa was simply excellent. All of that and somehow we managed to stay on budget. I feel truly lucky because I can say I wear a piece of art every day, and it makes me feel happy and special every time I look at it! Thank you Tessa :)”

“Tessa is incredibly warm, collaborative, and detail-oriented. She crafted our engagement rings and guided us from not fully knowing what we wanted to something that felt completely right.

From thoughtfully sourcing stones and walking us through options to refining every detail, she made the entire process feel personal and intentional. Her care, communication, and genuine excitement made the experience unforgettable.”
