Ashley created the perfect custom engagement ring of my dreams, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. She spent considerable time getting to know my partner and I—our passions, our styles, symbols and places that are meaningful to us, etc. From there, she crafted a uniquely gorgeous ring that is exactly what I wanted, and even more special because of its design and symbolism. She incorporated my grandmother’s heirloom diamonds with great care and attention to the design and sentimentality, and did not shy away from sourcing us a big, gorgeous opal and setting it like I wanted despite many jewelers shying away from working with opals for engagement rings. I can’t thank Ashley enough (and my fiancé for seeking her out) for my perfect-for-me ring, and can’t wait to have her design our wedding bands, as well.
I have nothing but love and gratitude for this process and the ring that I have as a result of it. So special. Individualized. Customized and beautiful. This designer is intuitive and her energy is pure passion for the project. It makes you know yourself better. And the design is uncanny. I HIGHLY recommend!!!!!
I have been a fan of Porter Lyons for a long time, so when my fiancé and I talked about getting engaged, I couldn't help but suggest that he go to Ashley. My fiancé and Ashley worked through the whole process together to design a more beautiful ring I ever could have dreamed of. My fiancé brought Ashley two family diamonds and ideas of what he like to see in the ring--including adding a third stone. With that input, Ashley sourced some beautiful Montana sapphires and then created 3 unique and beautiful designs for the ring. From there, they worked to customize the design to make the ring extra special, including adding gold work to make the setting look like cypress knees and elephant ear plants. The ring design feels perfect, it is comfortable to wear, and it is so special to me. I have been told by numerous people that it is the most beautiful ring they have ever seen. Thank you, Porter Lyons, for exceeding my expectations and then some--I will cherish your beautiful design for the rest of my years!
When I got engaged, my fiance and I decided to design a ring together. I had not previously imagined what I wanted in my engagement ring. Ashley was thorough and patient as she helped me to imagine what my perfect ring could be. The design process led us to a ring that is the most perfect representation of me and of us. I am so grateful to Ashley and the ring is STUNNING.
For our 3rd anniversary, I told my wife my gift to her was to redesign her engagement ring with Porter Lyons. It was the best decision ever! Porter Lyons fucking killed it. She made this amazing one of a kind, asymmetrical ring with so much more meaning than the generic ring I had made years before. I’ve been telling all my buddies to have their wife redesign their engagement rings as an anniversary gift one year. You don’t have to buy another stone first of all, second, the creative consultations you have with Porter Lyons ensures she has input on the design and will be thrilled with the end result. Third, it’s a solid gift that will buy you a couple years if you suck at gifts like I do. However, that ring was so rad, and my wife was so happy with it, I had Porter Lyons make a cocktail ring with a spare black Tahitian pearl I had laying around 6 months later for her birthday. Totally shot myself in the foot with the timing on the amazing gift timeline, but my wife is fucking amazing and so was the pearl cocktail ring Porter Lyons made, so I was good with it.
The experience of the pearl ring was awesome too. I had ideas and a meaning behind the ring. Porter Lyons fine tuned them into an amazing design and the end result was another fucking killer.
As long as Porter Lyons is open and taking custom orders I’ll never buy jewelry from anywhere else. There is something really special about having a custom piece of jewelry that no one else in the world has. I just wish I found them before our wedding to design all the rings!
I couldn’t recommend them more if you are looking for a unique, one of a kind, killer ass ring or any jewelry for that matter.
"She said Yes"
It was a very inspiring experience to design my engagement ring with Ashley with an amazing result. The sophistication of the various elements has really caught our personal story in a ring. great guidance to find the right stones and balance in the ring that fits well with the personality of my girlfriend. Our custom piece is a real treasure, the striking appearance still receives many compliments every day.
Beyond all my expectations, my girlfriend was over the moon, surely and highly reccommended!
Porter Lyons has been my favorite local designer for quite a few years. Then I found out Ashley Porter was designing custom fine jewelry too. So of course she was the first person that popped in my mind when we started talking about engagement rings. I had ideas about what I liked but I also wanted Ashley and my fiance to have free reign with the design. They created the perfect piece for me. After getting engaged, my fiance showed me the drawings and some emails back and forth. The attention to detail and care made it even more special. I absolutely love my ring and get compliments all the time about how original it is. If you want something different and truly special she's your lady!!
Working with ashley and her team was incredible. We collaborated to make a truly one-of-a-kind engagement ring that gets noticed everywhere we go. From the initial planning process and idea gathering to the moment I proposed, they were beyond helpful in getting the love of my life the ring she deserved. A once in a lifetime moment was made perfect by Ashley and her devotion to artistry and craftsmanship.
My husband and I both ordered wedding bands from Porter Lyons. It meant a lot to us to have our bands from a local jeweler and for as high end as the jewelry is here the bands were very reasonable. They came out beautifully- exactly as expected. My husband ordered his band smaller than he needed and getting it corrected was fast and easy. He got his band engraved with my name and it looks perfect. We loved our bands and the jewelry in the store so much that we got both of our mothers individual wedding gifts from here as well. They both appreciated receiving local jewelry from the same shop we got our wedding bands. I highly recommend Porter Lyons for wedding bands and gifts for anyone that would appreciate subtlety original New Orleans jewelry.
