Working with Lola Ade was a no brainer and a wonderful experience! The company was founded by a friend of a friend, and I loved being able to add that personal touch to my proposal -- not to mention being able to support a Black-woman owned business. The process itself was so simple. I worked with Tori throughout, who took the time to learn more about me, my now fiancé and our relationship. I was able to describe my vision and share my Frankenstein sketches until we got to the first rendering, which just wasn't quite right. Tori graciously went back to the drawing board with me until we arrived at the second rendering. Upon seeing it, I knew that was the ring. It was so beautiful. My fiancé loves her ring, and everyone compliments her on it. People routinely tell us it is the prettiest ring they have ever seen. I am biased, but I have to agree! After the process was complete, the Lola Ade team ensured safe delivery of the ring, on time for my fiancé's proposal in one of the most gorgeous ring boxes, I've ever seen. We're obsessed with the box inside the box design, and the handwritten note wishing us well inside the drawer was such a lovely touch (as was the card we received in the mail congratulating us on our engagement). I cannot recommend Lola Ade enough. I will be coming back to design her wedding band, and for any future custom jewelry needs!
