Explore the Custom Design Process with Nine Roses
Here at Nine Roses, we believe creating bespoke jewelry should feel more like hanging out with a friend than just a transaction. Our mission? To craft pieces you'll cherish today and pass on tomorrow. Here’s how we do it:
A Conversation, Not a Transaction
Designing sentimental wedding jewelry is an honor for us, and we treat it as such. This process unfolds like a great story—full of give-and-take, swapping ideas, and sharing expertise. We listen, we laugh, and together, we create something extraordinary.
Ethical Sourcing for a Sustainable Future
Sustainability is close to our hearts. We favor "up-cycled" diamonds—gems saved from discarded jewelry and given a glow-up with new cuts and polishes before being GIA certified. These diamonds are carbon neutral and conflict-free, making them a more planet-friendly option compared to energy-intensive lab-grown alternatives. If recycled stones aren’t an option, we ensure our diamonds meet Kimberley Process standards, confirming they're responsibly sourced.
Transforming Heirloom Stones
We also specialize in reimagining heirloom stones. Have a sentimental piece you’ve been holding onto? Bring it in after your consultation. We'll assess the stones and brainstorm how they can shine in your envisioned piece. Just a heads up—we only work with vintage stones, so let's keep it classic!
Expertise in Every Detail
Our founder, Nick DeRosa, approaches jewelry design from a goldsmith's perspective. Even the most delicate pieces are crafted to be durable enough for everyday wear, prioritizing function first and aesthetics second. We believe wedding jewelry should be solid and enduring, ready to accompany you through life's adventures.
