Rich and Adam’s Wedding Rings

Rich and Adam had already shared ten years of happily married bliss, having met at CDC in Atlanta where they both work and fell in love. Referred to me by mutual friends, we scheduled a meeting at their Peachtree Hills bungalow to discuss options for their first custom wedding bands. Meeting them in person allowed me to study their hands and get a feel for who they are as a couple and as individuals.

They had no idea what they wanted but Rich had inherited traditional 14K jewelry from his mother. It took a while to find the right combination of gems that would make him happy to wear & to gaze upon. Adam only had one desire: to incorporate a section of his Father’s well-worn Native American Turquoise and Coral inlaid ring.

This in-depth collaborative creative process between Rich, Adam, Fareed and I took about three months from its inception to completion. The family history set within the soft geometry of sturdy white gold bands symbolize that which Rich and Adam cherish and want to protect most. Matching diamonds were flush set into the back of each ring to symbolize their private, luminous love for one another. Working with them has been a creative treat for me.

I’m in Ithaca these days trying to embody this strange winter with its powerful atmospheric rivers, out of control tick populations, and short days of light. I will return to Atlanta  at the beginning of February. Please call or text me at 678-662-6156 if you desire an in-person appointment.

Faithfully Yours,
Lainey
