I thoroughly enjoyed the entire shopping/buying experience at Ken & Dana. Ken was exceedingly helpful in helping me find a perfect setting for my diamond. He listened to my ideas, sought out designs with my desired characteristics and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. He was willing to offer his professional opinion when I asked for it (without pressuring me in the least). The showroom/office is completely cozy and inviting—it’s a warm and relaxing place to shop for and design a ring you’re gonna love.

My fiancee, Marisa W., and I were very clear in our vision as to what ring we wanted. We both wanted the same ring, essentially, but a different color sapphire center stone. My fiancee proposed first and the ring she gave me was exactly what we have envisioned and more! When it was my turn to ger her ring, KDD was amazing! They already knew exactly what I had wanted and made the process so stress-free and comfortable. They responded to my numerous emails with patience and reassurance. KDD’s work product is absolutely amazing and they are truly committed to customer satisfaction!

Ken and Dana Design is outstanding in every way!!!

I was initially drawn to them because of their commitment to socially conscious gemstones and their unique design ideas.

My wife’s engagement ring was in need of repair so I decided to buy an entirely new setting, keeping the center stone. From the time we first sat down, Ken and his wife Patty were patient, conscientious and helpful. They really took the time to listen to the attributes I/my wife was looking for and make relevant suggestions. The end product was not only gorgeous but also came through in regards to comfort issues my wife was experiencing with her old engagement ring. My wife couldn’t be happier! Initially, there was a size issue with the ring, but Ken was able to make adjustments so that it now fits perfectly. They followed through with their promised timeline and their prices were very competitive!

We will without a doubt be back for a new wedding band and we will recommend anyone looking for an engagment ring or wedding band to head to KDD!

If you would like a beautiful unique ring with a personality of its own.. this is the place for you! They have been so helpful and have just been great. It’s not like talking to some businessman at some chain jewelry store at the mall. Instead you are talking and doing business with people who are doing what they do because they love and appreciate it.

If you want your future wife to feel as special as she is, go to Ken & Dana Design.

I will start by saying that I would hands down recommend Ken and Dana Design to anyone! Not only for the quality, style, value and workmanship, but also for the personalized service, which cannot be beat. The service that we received from KDD was unparalelled – in any retail experience.

I stumpled on KDD’s website sometime last fall when, on my then boyfriend’s request for engagement ring suggestions, I scoured the internet in search of a unique aquamarine and gold ring. I am somewhat of a traditionalist, in that I wanted to wear a beautiful ring, but definetely did not want your typical white diamond in a white gold setting – it’s just not me! I knew I wanted something different and classic. You just try to find aquamarine stone (which are truly elegant) paired with yellow gold! It’s not a common request, but it’s what my heart fell for when I saw the ‘Chloe’ ring.

My fiance purchased my engagement ring, Chloe, from KDD last October. He was nervous about procuring a ring online and somewhat skeptical of the quality of the product, having never heard of this shop, but he received consolation from the helpful staff at KDD. Since we are in Ontario, Canada, the ring had to be shipped across the border which it must’ve been nerve-wracking for my fiance.

He proposed in late October on a trip to Boston at the famous Copley Fairmont. Of course he was incredibly nervous and of course I said yes, after a moment of being speechless! All I could do all night was smile and gaze at my beautiful gift!

When we started geering up for the wedding (6 months later), I had decided on a band and we purchased locally. But something wasn’t sitting right. Nevermind the lack-luster service we received from our local chain jewelery store, but after the ring was sized, the Canadian diamonds channel set in the band didn’t seem to line up right anymore and there were no little holes behind the stones, meaning I couldn’t clean them regularly! I was really discouraged and not untirely happy with the band I was meant to wear daily for life…

Meanwhile, I kept going back to the KDD website and gazing at the Isis band. My reservation was that I thought I’d never be able to wear this organic shape with my more traditionally styled ‘Chole’. I resolved that I could, if needed, wear the Chloe on my right hand and the Isis on my left (which might be a the typical way engagement rings are worn in Europe). After a few weeks I broke the news to my fiance and told him that we had to return the store bought ring and order up the Isis band because I couldn’t take my eyes off it!

It makes me so happy to know that my wedding band is made from recycled gold and conflict free diamonds. I mean, this band has a story to it beyond the fact that it is an Egyptian symbol for protection and royalty, it is up-cycled too!

Patty was a complete angel and helped us choose the right band and inscription. She did everything to get the ring to us in time for our wedding. Thank you Patty for all your hard work. I’m so flattered that our wedding was featured on your blog – you made us feel like a million bucks! And thank you to Ken for my lovely and cherished wedding band. You both rock.

Lastly, I should mention that I get so many compliments on my rings and that’s makes a girl feel good! I hope you will seriously consider Ken and Dana Design for your engagement and wedding rings, you will be impressed, plus you’ll be setting yourself apart – what more could you ask for?
