Custom pieces typically take 6-8 weeks from design approval to completion, though timelines vary based on complexity and stone sourcing. For engagement rings and time-sensitive pieces, we recommend beginning the process at least 2-3 months before your desired date. Rush orders may be accommodated when possible.

Materials & Ethics

Recycled gold is refined from existing gold sources, such as old jewelry, electronics, and industrial materials, rather than newly mined gold. Using recycled gold eliminates the environmental damage caused by gold mining, including habitat destruction and toxic runoff, while maintaining the same quality and purity as newly mined gold.

Conflict-free jewelry is made with gemstones and metals that have been sourced without funding armed conflict, exploiting workers, or causing human rights abuses. We maintain transparent supply chains and work only with trusted suppliers who share our commitment to ethical sourcing.

Every Jennifer Dawes ring is ethically made using recycled gold and responsibly sourced gemstones. Each piece is handcrafted in our Sonoma County studio by skilled artisans, ensuring fair labor practices and exceptional craftsmanship from start to finish.

Collections & Styles

Our collections include Hewn, Signum, Fault Line, Kingdom, Blockette, Botanicals, Clover, Couture, Dainty Diamond, Etruscan, Facet, Rough Cut, and Stacking Stone. Each collection has a distinct aesthetic, from organic and sculptural to classic and refined, ensuring there's a style for every taste.

Alternative bridal refers to engagement rings and wedding bands that break from traditional designs. This might include unconventional gemstones (like opaque diamonds, sapphires, or moissanite), unique settings, asymmetrical designs, or mixed metals. Jennifer Dawes Design is known for creating distinctive alternative bridal pieces that reflect individual style.

Stacking rings are designed to be worn together on one finger, creating a personalized look. You can mix different metals, textures, and stones to build a stack that evolves over time, adding bands for anniversaries, milestones, or simply because you fall in love with a new design.
