I created CEREMONIA for the customers who have carried Common Era with me through every rise and fall since 2019. Together, we’ve grown—your stories weaving into mine—and along the way, many of you asked me to craft one-of-a-kind engagement rings. For the past year, I have been quietly shaping this collection, piece by piece, guided by history and love. It brings me joy to finally share it with you, to place these small, golden chapters into the grander story you are writing.
Finally, Ancient-Style Engagement Rings
These ancient-style engagement rings are inspired by the jewelry techniques and aesthetics of past civilizations—including Etruscan granulation, Greek twisting, and Roman wire-wrapping. These rings resemble artifacts that might rest in a museum, yet they are executed with the precision of modern craftsmanship. The CEREMONIA collection is designed to echo the forms of antiquity while reflecting a commitment to enduring beauty and meaning.
The Significance of Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds present an ethical and sustainable alternative to mined stones. Identical in chemical composition to their mined counterparts, lab diamonds are cultivated without the environmental degradation or ethical complications associated with traditional mining. They offer exceptional clarity and brilliance, ensuring that these heirloom-worthy rings remain luminous for generations.
A Design Philosophy Rooted in History
Each CEREMONIA ring carries a narrative drawn from the ancient world. The Penelope ring features intricate wire-wrapping, a subtle homage to Penelope's patient weaving in Homer's Odyssey. The Octavia ring is distinguished by its emerald-cut diamond, its eight sides quietly recalling the strength and stature of Octavia, a formidable figure of ancient Rome. The use of bezel settings throughout the collection is both an aesthetic and practical choice—an enduring method that secures the stone, echoing techniques perfected millennia ago.
Ethical Craftsmanship in Solid Gold
Crafted in New York City, every CEREMONIA ring is made from solid 14k or 18k recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds. The production process upholds ethical standards at every stage, from sourcing to craftsmanship.
CEREMONIA is more than a collection of rings; it is a bridge between eras. Each piece serves as a modern heirloom, designed to carry the weight of history while celebrating the future. The collection stands as a testament to what endures—beauty, meaning, and craftsmanship that transcend time.
