My now-husband proposed on our 10th anniversary. Unsurprisingly, when you've been together that long, you have had many conversations about what the future holds, and dropped many hints of what kind of ring you'd like when the time finally comes. For years, I was very clear that I would absolutely love a Rhodes ring. It wouldn't matter what shape or style it was, as long as it was a.) a colour other than white diamond and b.) from Rhodes. Your rings are unlike anything I have ever seen before, and not only that, they are hand made with love, ethically sourced, and made sustainably, all of which were important to me. I told him it didn't matter the shape of the diamond or anything else, I would be happy with it as long as Jessy and Perry made it. Colton proposed in Banff on our 10th year together with a ring from the celestial kite diamond collection (the exact one I loved most due to the distinctly cut facets), and exactly one year later, we eloped in New Zealand. On that day under the shadow of Aoraki as we said our vows, he placed the custom band that you made to match the engagement ring on my finger. You both are so lovely to work with and so incredibly talented. I look at my rings every single day and am reminded not only of my marriage and the love of my life, but of the love, passion, care and talent that went into creating them. I'm in awe of my rings every single day. I can't wait for you to create my anniversary band as well, and many pieces after that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a precious heirloom that I will treasure for the...

This last October, in front of the Chicago River, the man of my dreams asked me to be his wife. I knew he would know exactly what kind of woman I am, and the taste I have, but when he pulled out my half moon, rose gold, smoky diamond ring, I had never felt more seen in my life. Exactly what I would have wished for. Its somehow feels vintage but it's sleek and new... it's classy and free spirited. It's homemade with love and I love to brag about that. The creators are so personable, and support me too. They have a passion for connecting with their community and making beautiful things come to life. I am so proud of my rings, of the ethical process, of the feeling of knowing who's made something so special to me and my future husband. I needed a resizing as well, and their communication and efficiency to getting my ring back to me was outstanding. Thank you, Rhodes for being who you are and for creating something that will stay one of my most important and meaningful possessions for the rest of...

I always knew Jessy and Perry would design my rings. Rhodes create whole universes using unique stones and handcrafted metals, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. When my boyfriend proposed to me with one of their black diamond rings, I was surprised, not only about the proposal but about the ring he had chosen for me, I wouldn’t have chosen it - and that made me love it more. I am a jewellery person, so when it came to the wedding bands, I decided I wanted a custom design that represented me. I researched stones that would compliment my lifestyle and benefit my essence, I decided on Imperial topaz (that clear blocked energies and rebalance) and zircon (one of the oldest minerals on earth). Rhodes listened to what I wanted and created absolute magic, the ring I wanted was quite different from my engagement ring but they made them work beautifully together. I am so grateful for the high quality craftsmanship and stunning work of art I get to carry everywhere with me....
