Describe your wedding in three words.
Country. Family. Perfect.
How did you personalize the experience of choosing the ring?
We actually got engaged and married within the span of a month! We decided, why wait? And timing was serendipitous because our families already had plans to be together over July 4th. So we actually didn't have rings in hand when we got engaged. We started the process and had the wedding bands done in time for the wedding - great job by Liloveve on our rush request! When the wedding was over and we were back in New York we started on the engagement ring.
From the beginning we both wanted the ring selection process to be a shared conversation, we both had ideas but in the end I had the final say! We found Liloveve and after meeting Caroline I knew it was the perfect fit, as she was so helpful and informative about the custom design process. We discussed a number of ideas and she gave me a lot of information to help me decide on my final design. She was very open and helpful, and showed me a lot of gems, materials and examples to help me decide.
Why did you choose Liloveve?
I found Liloveve on Yelp. We live in the area and I loved the idea of finding a local designer to work with and personalize the process. Her reviews were excellent and as soon as I met her, I felt it was the right fit. Her studio and jewelry are beautiful and her work speaks for itself. Caroline made the whole process from start to finish easy, and fun! We sketched designs, she showed me a great selection of gems, and I felt very confident that the final product would be what we were looking for. The rings really exceeded our expectations! I love and admire them everyday.
