"I had a wonderful experience with the Wend re-make of my 1980’s wedding and engagement rings. Wendy gave me plenty of time and space—as well as ideas and inspiration of nature—to morph my antique settings into one ring that reflected who I am today. I chose a gold Tidepools ring design with a smooth, matte finish that reflects the patina of a long and happy marriage. Wendy melted together the gold of our original rings, and used the ebbs and dips of the Tidepool’s design to insert my original stones, plus the smaller, twinkly birthstones of my husband, our two sons and our new grandchild! It could not be more perfect for who I am today."

"I’ve known Wendy for many years now. I asked her to design and craft a new gold ring for me, using the gold from my late father’s university class ring and wedding band. I gave her only the most general design ideas, and she just ran with it. I could not be more pleased with the results! It’s the best piece of jewelry I’ll ever own, and I’ll treasure it all the rest of my days."

"I have a gorgeous stone ring from Wend that is so special to me! It was packaged so beautifully and with personal care. Proud to wear my ring that holds such a wonderful story and memory for me and would highly recommend Wendy, a truly kind and thoughtful human, and her staff to anyone looking for a wearable piece of art."

"I had an amazing experience working with Wendy on a custom ring created from heirloom gold. She took all of my requests into consideration and created a gorgeous rustic diamond ring that feels timeless. She even tried a new inscription method to write something special inside the band. I’m thrilled to wear this amazing piece and highly recommend Wendy to anyone hoping to create a signature piece. Her hand hewn style and natural themes create jewelry that inspires and fascinates, you will not be disappointed."

"I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with Wendy and Wend Designs. I have always wanted a gemstone ring, specifically a peridot, but never found one that felt like me. They were often too large, too feminine, too over the top. I have a few statement rings for special occasions, but I tend to wear the same rings day in and day out, which adds another level within the decision of choosing the perfect ring. Wend was able to address all these concerns, above and beyond. It is truly a special experience designing a ring from scratch with Wendy. She saw my aesthetic, and the jewelry I wore, so all her suggestions were already curated for me. She helped me choose the size and suggested the setting, knowing I wanted something that was neutral for an everyday ring, but still popped. It is everything I wanted, I absolutely love this ring. Wendy was also so kind when I reached out in a panic thinking I was damaging the ring with the chemicals I use at work and how often I wash my hands. Turns out it just needed a good cleaning from how much lotion I use to combat the assault my hands take! Wendy really takes you through this journey and is there for you whenever you need advice. Also, the shop aesthetic cannot go unmentioned... It is a DREAM, she really put her own touches on this otherwise basic space. Even the adornments on the outside windows flow with her space. Wendy is such a lovely woman, who really cares about giving her clients the best experience, and it shows in her attention to detail in both her craft and the space. Everyone there is so open and kind, I love popping in with my pup to peruse her new designs, or the newest local artist she has on display. It is such a special shop, with an amazing group of women at its core."
