I'm not sure how to begin to describe the magical experience that was designing my engagement ring with Merzatta. It started when Danielle suggested that we touch base before I start researching engagement rings and it ended when I realized I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with the process. I sent Danielle dozens of Instagram and interest posts and she helped me articulate why I loved some things and hated others, helped me strike the balance between unique and timeless, romantic and edgy. She talked me down when I had engagement ring nightmares and hyped me up when I was scared that my fingers were too fat. After Danielle sourced potential diamonds my fiance and I took a weekend trip to Morristown and spent the day trying on diamonds, eating delicious food, drinking Turkish coffees, and getting opinions and insights from the fans, customers, and visitors of Merzattaland. Danielle and Chris kept me engaged when I wanted a say in the process -- sharing 3D printed models and CAD mock-ups and kept things quiet when I wanted an element of surprise.

Read moreChris & Danielle Merzatta are some of the kindest and most creative people I have the pleasure of knowing. I've been a client of theirs for 6 or 7 years now. It's easy to say I love their work: their passion for the natural world is evident in their carefully curated sources of inspiration (their palm, pine cone, and deer horn cedar lines are my current favorites).

I also feel good knowing that my Merzatta purchases are fair trade and that their business intentionally supports women...
Read moreDanielle and Chris Merzatta are an incredible team in life and in business. Both are masters of their craft from concept to design to execution. I’ve had the privilege of following and collecting Danielle’s work for close to 20 years, and Merzatta jewelry is a pleasure and a joy to behold, wear, and own. Go see them in person at their Merzatta Morristown location on Cattano Ave to see their jewelry for yourself. There’s something for everyone from their core collection, their one-of-a-kind pieces, and custom jewelry design (reimagined heirlooms, anyone?). Their charming gallery is also stocked with carefully curated artisan objects from makers hailing from all over the globe. If a virtual visit is more your speed, you can make a private shopping appointment to do that, too! A great way to connect over art while distanced...
