Ken & Dana customers for life

The jewelry professionals at Ken & Dana are as much a part of why we loved finding our engagement rings and wedding bands here as the diamonds themselves. They are so kind, professional, and helpful throughout the ring-purchasing process. The space is absolutely stunning- honestly I wish I could just hang out in their studio daily- and every single one of their pieces are absolutely beautiful and SO well crafted. Before we were even married we already decided we'd be returning for anniversary gifts! I can't recommend them enough.

Custom Engagement ring and going back for more

My fiance and I designed my engagement ring together with KDD from start to finish including custom prongs, basket, setting, etc. The only minor hiccup was that I did have to resize my ring bc I was assured that I was a 7.5 there and then measured as a 7.25 at every other jeweler fitting, and after the proposal and trying on the final product did in fact end up resizing to a 7.25 which now fits perfectly. Overall our experience was positively timely and we are thrilled with the outcome. KDD was the only jeweler we visited that showed us stones/settings that were IN BUDGET, and after all fees/taxes we were $5 under our budget and we never sacrificed on the ring design. Stephanie is wonderful to work with. 10/10 recommend. Coming back in 6 months to find my matching band!

Beautiful and Durable

A full year with our rings and they are still gorgeous. We put our platinum bands through some stress working home remodeling projects.
Resizing husband’s band when it first came in was a very quick and simple process.
10/10 would recommend

We keep going back!

I got my engagement band and wedding band from Ken and Dana. I can't recommend them enough! They take the time to really listen to what you want and provide you with options. Even better- they are real people, not just a huge corporation. Their designs are unique and classic. I loved working with them so much that my husband and I went back to order a third band for our postponed wedding ceremony. If you want something a little different but still timeless, excellent customer service, and a beautiful ring, go to Ken and Dana!

Couldn't Love My Ring Set More

My husband and I both chose rings from Ken & Dana Design - so beautiful and their lab-grown diamonds are budget-friendly and make for a clean and ethical purchase! Plus, every ten years I'm going to add a stackable ring to the set!

Best Experience Ever!

Where.
To.
Start!?

So I approached Ken & Dana Designs earlier in the year to prep for my proposal. The first person I spoke with was Ariel who was super helpful and on top of the game, absolutely great service. Somewhere along the line, I actually got transferred to someone else, a young lady by the name of Nati. I didn't mind the switch because everyone was so response and Ariel was CC'd on everything so cool - and Nati continued the spectacular service! Even to the point of letting me know when the stone came in, that it wasn't truly the color they are comfortable working with and went ahead and found another one that was of better clarity and honored the price because of the inconvenience! Talk about integrity!

They kept me updated throughout the entire process, they sent me videos and pictures and specs and never got annoyed with me, even though I had a million+1 questions about the process and the ring and the stone and the turnaround time - man, I can't say enough about Ken & Dana Designs. Their ring options are wonderful and creative and different. They stand out in a league of their own and are definitely for those of us that want that extra dash of special.
My Fiancé said, and I quote, "I Couldn't Have Down Better If I Picked It Out Myself. This Is So Perfect..." and I couldn't agree more! I find myself looking at the ring more than she does hahaha that joint is fabolous!

If you're wondering if Ken & Dana Designs are worth it - trust me, they are. They truly are invested in you and have your best interest at heart. They know their product will sell, it's not about that, it's the service. The service is really what sealed everything for me and I'm getting my Fiance's band and my own band from Ken & Dana as well. Shoot, I'm trying to find a reason to buy a rustic pear because Gawd it's gorgeous!

Thank you Nati & Ariel! For everything!!!

Our perfect rings

We loved working with the team at Ken and Dana to find our ideal wedding bands. They were helpful about all of our questions regarding size, shape, widths, and colors. We are so deeply happy with the final results.

Beautiful Jewelry, Great Company

My wife and I both got our engagement and wedding rings from Ken and Dana and we cannot recommend them enough. We both have very different styles and they were able to help us both find things that were perfect for us, even if that meant doing some customization for us. The staff is so warm and welcoming and the space is glorious. It was important to us to find someone who does conflict free and earth friendly products and we feel so lucky that we found Ken and Dana.

Transformed my brain into something beautiful

We used Ken & Dana for my wife's engagement ring and wedding band. I was clueless going into the engagement ring process in terms of what different cuts were, stone choices, etc. The team made the whole process incredibly easy and removed any and all stress and intimidation. They were able to take what I had in my mind and craft it into something gorgeous for my wife. We then went back to them to get a wedding band that matched perfectly and it was a very easy experience then again.

Helpful staff and beautiful selection

This engagement ring is very beautiful and unique! The company representative my fiance worked with was very helpful, and they let him ship a family diamond to be set into one of their designs.
