TESTIMONIALS

What did you like about working with Andy? What I appreciated about Andy’s way of working was that he put a lot of thought, care and attention into getting to know us, as individuals and as a couple--before suggesting some examples to us. There’s was a lot of back and forth where questions could be raised and pictures could be shared to inspire each other. It made the whole process so enjoyable, easy and organic. Because of this I ended up feeling that he played a big part in the entire wedding, even though I still haven’t met him in person to give him a big Thank You hug! 

How was the process of deciding on rings made easier by working with Andy? He was keen to hear our stories, our preferences, our ideas to make sure the designs were right but also offered great input so his own creative talent is very much present in our pieces. I’m so thankful for that balance because it was also important to me that he felt excited to put his own touch on the pieces. I was very drawn to some of his smooth, cool and simple lines from his earlier work and liked that he also suggested things that made my pieces stand out a little more. I also appreciated that he made sure we were completely happy with our pieces once they showed up, in case some adjustments were necessary, and that was comforting because you're making such a big decision with engagement rings and wedding bands. 

What do you love about your pieces? I love that I feel like they’re unique and personal to my style. They suit my character wonderfully but most importantly, they were created from a wonderful mashup of input from Andy, my husband and I. I see a little bit of all three of us in them and it’s a beautiful daily reminder. I also like that the pieces were made to work on their own (with one ring on each hand) but they also work perfectly together. Right now, I keep them together. They just fit into each other in such an elegant way. I don’t own anything more beautiful. 

What did you like about working with Andy? Andy approached the entire process from the viewpoint of getting to know myself, my partner, and our relationship. He found his inspirations and intuitions through the way we love each other and want to love each other.. He put in a significant amount of time getting to know me, my love, and my goals for the rings. Then he worked boldly and intuitively and brought himself to the work. Making it both personal to my relationship, and also personal to Andy. He is a true artist for that.

Did you learn anything new? I learned about Andy's incredible process. I learned how the shape and size of a stone can effect the design. That every design choice effects the other design elements. 

What do you love about you pieces? I love that my partner has beautiful armor that honors and protects her while also empowering her in her independence and elegance outside the relationship. I love that the ring looked like HERS the instant she put it on. I love that Andy found a balance between classic elegant design and something more organic and human and weird.

If your rings were a musical group or song what would they be? Our rings would be an alien spaceship hovering over ancient Egypt blasting Prince and ABBA out of their speakers hosting a desert rave for all of Egyptian society.
...and then you can add anything else that comes to mid or heart. 
WORKING WITH ANDY WAS LIKE WORKING WITH A DEAR FRIEND. ANDY IS A SENSITIVE INTUITIVE, CREATIVE ARTIST. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER WITH THE PROCESS AND WITH THE FINAL RINGS HE CREATED.
