5 out of 5 starsMy fiancé couldn’t have been happier with her ring. I ordered it a bit late but they worked with me to get it here a few days quicker than I could have hoped for. Thank you! Highly recommend

5 out of 5 starsMy fiancé is overjoyed with the ring. The final product was even more beautiful in person. Seller was prompt with communication and shipping was on time. My request to swap the center diamond for a ruby was easily accommodated and the seller was helpful in helping me figure out exactly what I wanted in this regard. 10/10 would purchase from again.

5 out of 5 starsNot only was my ring more amazing than I ever could have imagined, the process could not have been more enjoyable. Dawn was prompt in her replies and we were included in the entire way. The way she brought our vision to life was like she was in our head and could see exactly what we wanted and more! We could not be happier!!!

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful jewelry & wonderful customer service! My ring came in and didn’t fit on my finger initially & I messaged Dawn and she was more than helpful about my sizing error and very quick at responding and extremely helpful! It also didn’t take very long to get resized and back to me! Overall extremely happy with my service!

5 out of 5 starsThis ring is stunning, the rock is vibrant and sparkly and the metalwork is so intricate with engravings that look like the lines in the wood of a twig and the veins of the leaves. It is really impressive and beautiful and I hope my (hopefully) fiance will be in as much awe of it as I am. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsEverything about this was absolutely fantastic. Because I wanted to use a custom stone that I provided, I asked if it could be set into the ring I wanted. I was so happy to know it was possible. The communication and customer support were amazing, and I was kept up to date in every step of the process. The ring itself is absolutely beautiful, and even better than what I expected. The craftsmanship is amazing, and the prongs holding the gem are thick and sturdy, but do not take away from the look whatsoever. I opted to get the ring set soldered together, and it was perfectly done. I definitely plan on ordering from here again, as Dawn is the nicest vendor I've had the pleasure of buying from on Etsy. Her work is incredibly detailed and even more beautiful in person, and the pictures in her shop are very accurate to the item.

About the Artist...Dawn
I'm Dawn, and I love what I do!
I express myself & my personality through my love of sculpting and designing! We all start somewhere to end up where we are and where we want to be.
I'm was born and raise in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. I currently live in Huntersville, NC. Not to far from Lake Norman. The area is beautiful and growing fast! I am very close to my family, as most all still live near by.
This isn't a resume so I'm not going to start at the very beginning of how I got to where I am, but I have been through a lot of growth, business and the ups and downs that come with it.
In 2011 I decided to really put my passion for designing and sculpting to work for me. What started out as a hobby, quickly became a business. I took my new designs of bracelets, rings & earrings on the road with me to show and sell at art festivals, art shows and Artisan markets. I developed a nice following and did custom designs for the people that followed my work.
I then decided to branch out and put myself online, so I joined Etsy.com
I started out with one of a kind sterling silver bracelets, rings and necklaces. As time went on, I learned more techniques, learned about raw diamonds and gemstones. These unique raw materials fascinated me!
The raw rough uncut natural diamond twig engagement ring quickly became my most popular design and still is.
As business started to grow, I needed extra hands on deck. I hired my daughter, Missy. Missy quickly became my right hand man when it came to working with customers, marketing and keeping everything running so I can do what I do best, design, sculpt and create new products!
I love what I do! I love to create and talk with customers. Our customers share their proposals stories, their wedding & anniversary photos with us all the time! It's the best feeling in the world to make something that is a part of their special occasion.
I am introducing new gemstones, moissanite diamond and hand crafted designs all the time! I hope you enjoy the designs I am so passionate about and I hope I can create something special for you!
Thank you for stopping by to get a little glimpse into my little design world!
