Summary
The custom engagement ring is having a mega-moment thanks to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. So too are romantic old mine cuts and elongated shapes, and on this show we get into all of these Taylor-centric trends with Cathy Shen, a Vancouver-based jewelry designer and owner of Ma Folie . Creating bespoke engagement rings is the foundation of Cathy's Vancouver-based business and she is passionate about pieces stacked with meaning, and personalization. "If you want something very intentional you go to a small jeweler or designer to create that piece which reflects you and your partner," Cathy shares in this chat. Host Alison and Cathy get into the specifics of designing a custom engagement ring; why she loves sapphires for as a star-stone to make a ring truly bespoke; and how Taylor's instantly iconic engagement ring will shape trends for years to come.
