Chelsea helped guide us through the whole ring design process! It was such an awesome experience to meet with her, see a selection of diamonds and find the right one for us. After ...
meeting she went back & forth multiple times with me while I designed the ring of my dreams. She put all the ideas in my head onto paper and turned into something so beautiful! I’m so glad we found Honey Design Jewelry! I receive so many compliments on my ring. ❤️💍✨
I know Chelsea both by working in the industry and through working with her on redesigning my wedding rings. First, professionally, she is easy to work with, accomodating, and a TO...
N of fun. Personally, I loved getting to see this side of the business. I became allergic to my wedding rings and needed to have them re-set. Since I had known Chelsea in the wedding industry, and knew her eye for design and professionalism she was an easy ask :) She worked with us to not only re-set my exisiting rings but came up with a design to incorporate some heirloom diamonds from my mom and great grandmother. She was super fun and transparent throughout the entire process. We worked back and forth in a super timely fashion and before I knew it--I had the most perfect ring on my finger! I highly recommend working with Chelsea any chance you get.
Chelsea was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Not only is the final product absolutely gorgeous, but Chelsea worked with us every step of the way, went above and beyond t...
o make sure my partner’s vision came to life perfectly, and was an overall joy to work with. We very much appreciated the time she took to educate us on diamonds/jewelry so we could make informed choices and for how forthright she was throughout the entire process so there were no surprises (other than the proposal). We could not recommend Chelsea highly enough!
Chelsea was great throughout the entire process. From selecting the stone, creating the setting, and arranging the set up of the proposal. It was seamless with zero stress. Weather...
you have ideas already for your dream engagement ring or starting from scratch Chelsea will provide what you’re looking for!
Chelseas rings and jewelry are the best quality, unique and so beautiful! My husband knew Chelsea from college and followed her work over the years. When it was time for us to get ...
engaged, he worked with her to create my dream ring. Knowing I wanted a high-quality, unique antique like setting, Chelsea was able to design everything in a clear way, working with my husband throughout the process to create the most beautiful design that was exactly what we wanted. Knowing how much we loved the engagement ring, we continued to work with Chelsea for our wedding bands and other jewelry over the years. Working with her is a truly a one-of a kind experience. Her customer service, attention to detail and overall wonderful positive personality are some of the many reasons we love working with her. We would highly recommend her to anyone!
After getting engaged, my fiancé said he loved the idea of using some of my mother's (family) heirloom diamonds to create our wedding rings. I agreed, but was extremely nervous abo...
ut being able to find the right designer to not only understand our vision but make that vision come to life. Chelsea turned out to be that kind of a designer. She listened, asked questions throughout the entire process, and ultimately created a wedding ring which blew our minds and exceeded our expectations.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Chelsea! I had a style in mind for a wedding band but could not find anything that matched my vision. Chelsea designed exactly wh...
at I pictured in my head and created the most beautiful ring. Chelsea was prompt, quickly responded and took time to get to know me. I cannot recommend her enough!
Chelsea was amazing!! So sweet and responsive!! My fiancé mentioned how easy the whole process was and how comforting she made him feel through it all!
Chelsea made this process so easy from start to finish. My husband and I were in a bit of a unique situation too creating a new wedding set for our 15 year anniversary. I was ready...
for a change that used our same stones but represented how our love has grown and evolved over time. Between my own inspirations and Chelsea’s expertise she put together a setting that feels as fresh and unique as me! We also met online and I was nervous about sending my diamonds in the mail but she put my mind at ease and ensured everything was well cared for. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and I’m now getting compliments on my new ring all the time!
How do I even begin to write a review that embodies how Chelsea made my dreams come true??
Chelsea asked me to come in for a custom design consultation to get an idea of what I wa...
nted in an engagement ring. Little did I know, Kyle had already begun working with Chelsea and Honey Designs. The ideas I passed on became the foundation of what would become my ring. Not to mention, I got a complimentary manicure just for playing with diamond designs with Chelsea, SCORE! Flash forward to a few months later, and there was Kyle proposing with a more perfect ring than I could have ever chosen or designed for myself.
Chelsea perfectly captured both of our personalities and incorporated all of the beautiful elements we both wanted to craft literally the most PERFECT RING EVER! No matter what, marrying my best friend is the most exciting and thrilling adventure yet. But the fact that this ring is so thoughtfully and skillfully designed and crafted makes it so infinitely more meaningful that I want to ugly cry a whole bunch of happy tears every time I see it on my hand. Chelsea cared so much about making this the perfect ring and the perfect experience, and that is something that no jewelry store can manufacture. We used the mini photography session (Chelsea hooks her clients up with so many rad gifts and surprises - Seriously, its unreal how awesome she is!) to capture my stunned look when the man of my dreams asked me to marry him with the ring my dreams are made of!
1000% recommend Chelsea if you want to be/have the happiest bride EVER <3

neyDesignsJewlery! She is the best and helped create my beautiful engagement ring and we are also getting our wedding bands made from her :) Definitely pick Chelsea rather than going to a chain jeweler, you wont be disappointed!!
Outstanding service from Chelsea. Her prices are reasonable and she’s a DREAM to work with. I picked out my dream engagement ring from her and she even planned my engagement with m...
y now fiancé! So happy :)
Chelsea created the most beautiful, unique ring for our engagement. We knew we wanted an atypical stone, and a unique custom creation. I had no idea at the time for obvious reason...
s, but Chelsea and my fiancé worked hard to create a custom, one of a kind ring. We are so grateful for her hard work, and creative vision. As my father has said, she has helped us obtain what we now refer to as a future family heirloom! It will forever be a beautiful and special part of us. Such a wonderful feeling every time I look at it!!!
Chelsea help create such a special second wedding ring for me. She met me on a Saturday and looked at the diamonds I wanted to utilize from a family ring. She then hand drew right ...
there the ring that I had in my mind but no other jeweler could help me with. One jeweler had mentioned that my diamonds were too small to even use. Chelsea saw no issues in using them and her background and knowledge to creating such a special ring was amazing. She kept me informed from the moment we started to the moment the ring came in! The ring is even better in person and my diamonds were not too small at all. The ring is the right amount of bling!!! I work in a hotel helping other brides bring their vision to life and I would suggest her to any of my brides for their rings and now I can personally show them her work :)
I originally asked my long time jeweler to design a custom ring for me to wear on my right hand that would represent my family of four. He came nowhere close to what I wanted, even...
though he has pride in his custom design process. I was disappointed to say the least. Queue Chelsea! I reached out and showed her a few photos of inspiration and she knew exactly what I wanted and gave me complete peace of mind she could make it happen. Her process is very collaborative, she’s open to feedback and she worked incredibly fast. She is also insanely thoughtful and genuine in every detail, including being a master of surprise deliveries :) I got the custom ring of my dreams with Chelsea and have a huge smile every time I look at it and know that I have a classic piece of jewelry with an incredible symbolic story of family and love that will be in my family for generations to come. I will absolutely work with Chelsea in the future! The only reason I gave four stars and not five is because she did come in over my budget..but I guess it’s the price you pay for perfection (and 107 diamonds ha). <3
Working with Chelsea to reset my engagement ring into my absolute DREAM ring was incredible. She literally drove me to Kentucky to hand select my Morganite stone, and designed my ...
heirloom diamonds around the new stone. The ring is so sentimental to me and my husband, and I couldn't be happier with the end result. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to help me with my ring re-design. I am so grateful!
