ken & dana design - fan commentsPosted on October 26, '09 by Dana C.Comments |
I have two custom pieces — one was a prototype of the women’s dogtag necklace and another was a stacked bangle. Endless compliments on both. I never take off the necklace and I bust out the bangles on very special occasions — they are both signature pieces and a part of me because it captures my style – urban, edgy, elegant, unique, feminine. Absolute one-of-a-kind, timeless designs and crafts.
Have two rings (so far) and love them both. Perfect signature pieces that stand out because they’re so unique — they always get noticed and I always get compliments. Skillfully crafted, beautifully designed, quality pieces that go with everything. I’ll be back for more…
As part of my search for an engagement ring for my now-fiance, I approached ken & dana with a rough design for a custom-made ring. I had spoken with other designers and retailers of various sizes, but ken & dana were the only ones who were able to not only capture the look I wanted but to also introduce me to certain design ideas that truly enhanced the ring’s overall effect. In short time, they produced a ring that my fiance could not be happier with. The ring is exceptional – flawless materials, clean lines, perfect proportions – and ken & dana’s skill and dedication to the process are clearly evident in the end result.
I own a few b-side pieces & I love them, as does everyone who sees them. I work in the fashion jewelry office of a major retailer & my bosses are always asking me about my necklaces, earrings & bangles. The battles are my fav. Keep the awesome pieces coming!
I approached Ken for help with my engagement ring search. Ken’s personalized service helped me choose the stone and get it set perfectly, all for a great price. I appreciated the service and was incredibly happy with the purchase. Since then I have also bought items from Ken and Dana as gifts and will continue to do because each item I buy has been a hit and the service has been great.
I first noticed Ken & Dana Designs in a Harpers Bazaar fashion spread. The model was wearing a spectacular brass necklace. I collect and wear art jewelry, and I hadda have it. Dealt with Ken, who could not have been nicer and more helpful. Am now happy owner of this necklace and have received many compliments when I have worn it. Love all their work. Very innovative. lmr
I have Compass Rose pieces from BYLU (a touch of the city for when I get homesick for New York) — Rights, Graffiti, and Geometry from b-side. I own an ad agency in Portland, ME — Ken & Dana jewelry with a flannel L.L.Bean shirt is perfect for client meetings. No, seriously, you guys are super designers — way innovative and creative — and I admire you greatly for incorporating social issues into your work. You know I’ll be back for more!
Did I mention? My new fave is a Scarf Necklace (GORGEOUS!).If you haven’t seen them, click on the one-of-a-kind button. The silky scarf feels fluid and feminine, the hardware gives it a bit of an edge. We ARE casual here in Maine. Dress up is easy — black boots, black jeans or leggings, nice sweater with jacket or cardigan — add my Scarf Necklace and I’m ready to go out on the town.
I have one of the ‘Loving Day’ rings from the RIGHTS collection. I absolutely love this unique ring. I just got married, and plan on using it as my wedding band when I don’t wear my set (I work in a lab, so it happens). As an interracial couple, I really enjoy telling people the history behind the ring, and using it to spark discussion on various social issues. I’ve had quite a few compliments on it, in addition to inquiries as to what other pieces you have to offer. You are truly amazing artists as well as designers. I’ve been a long-time fan of your work, and I now a proud bearer of one of your pieces.
Love my “Battle” Gunmetal Necklace!
Beautifully-made. I took it out the packaging to immediately put it on.
I’ll will be back – definitely have my eyes on some other hot items.
Thanks!
Ken & Dana designed fantastic rings for our engagement & later for our wedding. They were great in helping create pieces that fit what we were looking for in terms of style and feel. The wifey gets compliments from strangers about her engagement ring.
i puchased the gunmetal necklace; i received it in a few days(instead of a week, awesome!!) and have not stopped wearing. this is my second piece, my first piece i puchased at a “girls night out” evening and absolutely fell in love with ken&dana. every week i receive their emails and am constantly looking out to add more of their art to my wardrobe. i am in love! xoxoxo
I love my graffiti handcuff bangle, partly because the color pops so much that it amazingly styles up any outfit I’m wearing, and partly because of the “whoa” factor of unstacking the bangles and demonstrating art crimez….doin’ the time ;)
I had no better way to stand out at a charity ball, then to grab a one of a kind necklace and bracelet from Ken and Dana. It was a show stopper! I am still hearing from friends how gorgeous and unique the pieces were.
It absolutely agree with the previous message
Absolutely LOVE my gunmetal handcuff “battle” bangle! not only is the bangle fabulous, the packaging was awesome as was the prompt service and delivery.
Thanks for helping me be so stylish, Ken & Dana!
I’ve bought battle pieces before that are fab but I recently purchased a personalized graffiti bangle for my sisters birthday..ohmygosh it was beautiful..I’ve just never been so excited to give anyone a present. It was beyond PERFECT! And naturally, my sister is obsessed with it. I doubt she will ever take it off. (plus everything is cooler when it’s personalized).
Call me vain, but all you really need to know is this: wearing a piece by Ken&Dana is a guaranteed compliment..xox
My purchase of 2 central park quartz pendants are to die for!!! They are so original. I was only able to give one away as a gift & kept the other for myself. Customer service was great too – they made sure my gifts were sent on time & emailed to follow up!!!
I purchased the Heart Charm Necklace, for the basic reason that it was simple beautiful, and had a concept to it. Which gives it more value and feels very personalised.
thank you guys!
Keep the flavors flowing, the beats rhyming, you are doing a magnificent job!
I am extremely pleased with the designs purchased from Ken and Dana! It is exciting to wear pieces from designers who really have a passion for what they do. I love Ken and Dana!
