Ken & Dana rocks!! We were treated so well, from start to finish, and I am in love with my wedding band. Radika was incredibly patient with me – she let my try on so many different gorgeous rings, answering all my questions and staying in touch throughout the process. The ring was ready promptly and I am in love with it. Their rings aren’t like any others I’ve seen. If you want to wear something unique, handcrafted, and beautiful, go with Ken & Dana!

My fiance and I bought my engagement ring from ken + dana, and we couldn’t be happier.

I spent a long time looking at engagement rings, online and in person, and really came to feel that they all look alike. I’ve heard women get all worked up about whether a ring has 6 prongs instead of 4, as if this is the stuff of art. I found ken + dana on the web, in a search for Gaudi-inspired designs. I love their use of natural forms—leafy shapes, branching, twists and swoops—in many of their engagement rings.

I live in SF, but was able to visit the studio in NYC in December. We talked to Ken in person: he was friendly and helpful, answering our questions and offering advice. I also love that they think outside the “diamond + platinum/yellow-gold” box. Ken showed us a combination of a yellow-gold ring with a citrine in it, paired with a rose-gold band; the yellow stone really brought out the warmth of the rose gold. We ended up choosing a yellow diamond (which we purchased from another source) and the yellow-gold setting. We spent a long time researching stones, and Ken helped answer some of our questions, and found examples of other yellow gold + yellow diamond rings, so we could tell if we liked the combination. We’re planning to come back to get the rose-gold wedding band.

As other reviewers have said, my ring is more than a ring: it’s a piece of art on my hand, and I love wearing it and looking at it.

My husband and I set out shopping for the perfect engagement ring together. After going to all the places I thought that one day I would by my ring, from THE CLAY POT to Michael C. Fina, nothing.
We were soo fortunate to be introduced to KEN + DANA ‘s work through a relative who owns several of their B-Side pieces.
Once we went into their studio and saw the pieces from the bridal line in person, we knew our search was over.
This team’s attention to personal detail to our concerns about diamond and metal sourcing went above and beyond. Our diamond selection process was fun and relaxed. They made sure we were completely confident in our choices. No pressure ever!
The symbolism and creativity in their designs are stunning.
Not only do we have the perfect engagement ring and wedding band set for me (the bride) but we also have an amazing memory of the whole journey.

After an utterly disappointing trip to Smythe Jewlers, I realized I was going to have to come up with something a little more original if I wanted an exceptional engagement ring for my fiancee to be. I stumbled onto the Ken and Dana website during my internet perusal, and I fell in love with their Organic Aurora Engagement ring. It is absolutely stunning, and I knew it would be perfect for my lady.

I live in Baltimore and went up to NYC for the day to meet with Ken, Dana, and Radika. They were incredibly welcoming from the moment I got there and were happy to spend over an hour with me talking about different settings, their process, and answering all of my questions. They were incredibly personable, and it felt right having these people create the ring that I would give to my future wife.

The ring turned out beautifully, and they were able to incorporate a family diamond that I had provided. They shipped it down to me in Maryland, and I have been engaged since October.

We were so thrilled with the final product that we are planning on asking them to create our wedding bands as well!

If you are looking for beautiful, hand crafted jewelry and personal attention, I would strongly recommend Ken and Dana design.

Having bought an engagement ring from Ken and Dana over the net without having actually seen the ring for real until it was delivered, I have to say it did’nt disappoint. The ring was fantastic and looked even better than it did in the photos.
Ken and Dana were a pleasure to deal with and were very fast with their delivery, which was a relief as I needed it to arrive before we left for India, as we got engaged over there.Would highly recommend them to anyone.
