You know when you meet someone and you can tell they’re doing exactly what they are meant to be doing? That’s Allison from Ringed. My fiancée and I made her engagement ring together with Allison this past summer. It was important to us to find a local and woman-owned business, in addition to one using ethical jewelry practices. Our Ringed experience was exactly what we wanted and more. Allison saw our vision and we ended up with an incredible ring that holds a lot of wonderful memories. Allison’s studio is intimate and adorable and she herself is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to metalsmithing and gemology. Being able to say we made our ring is the coolest. Thanks Allison for everything you do!

My partner and I wanted to have a unique experience regarding our wedding rings to make them feel special and not just like something we picked out in a store. WOW does Allison deliver! I was quite nervous as neither of us (my partner nor I) has a gift for the visual arts, and I was worried we wouldn't be able to design/create something incredible. But Allison assured us that we would, and I just adore what we created. I told my partner I wanted a fantasy/lord of the rings inspired ring and our rings are just beautiful, they look like interlocking leaves. I was surprised at how much we were really able to do everything ourselves - Allison tells you everything to do and can do some touches but it really feels like we 100% designed and carved our rings from start to finish. I know that no one has rings that look like ours and it was so fun and special to create them together. This was the beginning of our engagement and it made it so special. It was such a pleasure to spend all that time together with Allison too as she is a kick ass person! I would do this 1000x over.

My only difficulty with writing this review is that 5 stars is woefully few and Allison deserves many more than are available. Seriously, my wife and I had such an incredible experience making our wedding rings together. We were greeted, each day, with an excellent cup of coffee, tea, some form of mouth watering confection, and an invitational smile. Alison’s knowledge, expertise, willingness to answer any question, and passion for her craft makes her the perfect guide to lead you through the intricacies of this process. Though we had little to no experience, we weren’t treated so, but rather encouraged to explore the art, and craft rings that are unique to our vision and our personalities. I was going to say that you can’t pay for this kind of meaningful experience but you can! And you should. A store bought ring twice as expensive would pale in comparison to what Alison and Ringed helped create for us. Truely, thank you.

It was really great working with Allison. I came into this project with some design ideas of my own, but was also looking for assistance/refinement. I was hoping for a collaborative process with someone who a) was experienced in the processes of jewelry making, and b) had her own aesthetic sensibilities. And that is exactly what I got with Allison. I think our work together was unique to my objectives. And, I think it produced a unique, one-of-a-kind set of rings. Thank you, Allison.



experience with Allison was perfectly balanced between exploring my ideas and

My spouse and I had the pleasure of making our wedding rings with Allison, and it was such a beautiful experience from start to finish, from the initial design conversation to the workshop itself to receiving our hardcover book in the mail featuring photos from our ring-making process. Our friends and families initially think we simply designed our rings—no, we really truly made them with the help of Allison! She is such a caring, easy person to spend the day with, and takes her job as facilitating making your forever rings very seriously. I have no experience with metal working and I always felt completely supported during the entire process, so I never was worried that we would have a less-than-ideal piece at completion. Having rings that are attached to the experience of crafting them together with the person you love is priceless, and Allison and her workshop are the perfect container for that memory you’ll cherish forever!

Our experience with Allison from beginning to end has been absolutely amazing! Custom designing and purchasing engagement rings can be a daunting task, but Allison made it so easy. She listened to all of our ideas and designed two incredibly stunning engagement rings. She is a great communicator and is always transparent about cost, design elements, and expected timelines. Allison was so patient when we had a million questions and provided as many design mockups as needed to ensure the rings were exactly the way we wanted them. She also provided photos and updates along the way as she created the ring, which was really cool to see. When we saw the finished products we were absolutely blown away. From a personality perspective, Allison is so full of bright, positive energy and it is so obvious that she cares deeply about her craft and bringing joy to her clients. She also has worked with many LGBTQ+ clients, so we felt very comfortable working with her. Overall, we can't recommend Allison enough and honestly wouldn't work with anyone else.

When we approached Allison, we had a few very specific, unique requests for the engagement ring we envisioned. She was very approachable, fun, and easy to work with. She is also honest, knowledgable, and patient which is super important in the design process when we were brainstorming and indecisive. She was flexible with a challenging timeline and helped us feel very involved in the design process. The ring feels so special because it has so much of our history in it and it feels like something we created together even though it wasn't made in a workshop. We are so excited to make our wedding bands with her in the future.

Loved working with Allison! She's been amazing to work with as a queer couple looking for nontraditional rings, and was great at helping us figure out what we actually wanted!

Allison with Ringed was a godsend to us. She was recommended by a mutual friend, and we cannot say enough amazing things about our experience working with her. From day one, her communication was clear, easy to understand, and we never had to wait too long for a response, even given her busy schedule. Her knowledge was invaluable, and she provided us with suggestions along the way since we had no clue what we were doing. We came with to her with an idea, and she delivered ten-fold. We are ecstatic with the final products and have her to thank for it. Allison, you are an amazing human, inside and out, and we are so thankful to have come across you and Ringed!

We cannot possibly think of a better way to get engaged! We're a male/female couple and early on we knew that we both wanted to wear rings during our engagement. I (female partner) looked at traditional engagement rings with stones, but couldn't see myself wearing one. We decided to find bands, but nothing we found was exactly what we were looking for. Then, we found Ringed and realized we could make our own bands exactly as we wanted them! The consultation with Allison sealed it for us. She was so excited that we wanted to create engagement bands together and immediately jumped in to figure out how to make our design a reality. We received impeccable communication leading up to our workshop and when we arrived, it was to a warm, smiling Allison, coffee, and pretzel croissants from the local bakery. We spent the day laughing, swapping book titles, and telling stories while soldering, sanding, and polishing the perfect rings for us. PLUS, when I texted Allison the next morning to say that I had worn my ring all evening and it felt just a touch too tight, she told us to come on over and immediately resized it for me so it fit like a second skin! Everything about this experience was perfect and we couldn't be happier or prouder to wear our rings!
