I Really Wanted a Hand-Forged Ring and This Mad Lad Actually Did It!
Hello, wonderful community! 💍✨
I’m absolutely buzzing to share a personal experience that might just inspire those on the hunt for their own unique engagement ring. We often talk about finding the perfect engagement ring—those stunning pieces that reflect love, personality, and a touch of artistry. Well, I had a vision in my mind of what I wanted: a hand-forged ring that would be as unique as our love story.
The Search for Something Special
From elaborate vintage settings to modern minimalist styles, my search seemed endless. I wanted something created with artistry and craftsmanship, something that told a story. Isn’t that what love is about? I brainstormed with partners and scrolls through countless Pinterest boards, but nothing felt “right.” That is, until I discovered the world of hand-forged jewelry.
The Mad Lad with the Magic Touch
Enter “mad lad” Jake, an artisan jeweler known in our local community for his unique creations. Seriously, I initially thought it was a wild idea that I had kissed goodbye—until I reached out and was amazed by his enthusiasm!
Jake took the time to listen to my vision, sketching out ideas and exploring different metals, finishes, and gemstones. I was astonished by his willingness to collaborate, like an artist breathing life into a canvas. It felt less transactional and more like an intimate journey of love and creativity.
The Ring Reveal
After weeks of anticipation, the big day arrived. Jake unveiled the hand-forged ring—and wow! It was a beautiful blend of rustic charm and modern elegance, featuring ethically sourced gemstones that sparkled just as much as my heart. It felt like the ring was a piece of our story—crafted with love and individuality in mind.

Awesome! 🤩 You made a ring that will last for eons, forged is always stronger than cast. This is why antique platinum rings from the early 1900’s are still being passed down to family members, the forging process to stamp solid platinum made it extremely hard and durable (I’m sure you already know all the benefits though 😂). Congratulations on such a fine ring! 💍
Super pretty! Congratulations!
I can’t edit the main post, but my ring size is size 6.
Oh, I love bezels!
They’re so pretty and practical!
