Custom Art Deco Harlow Story
Harlow-Inspired Custom Engagement Ring Story: Vintage Glamour with a Personal Twist
A Love Story Written in Gatsby Gold: How One Couple Reimagined the Art Deco Era
Some romances start with fireworks; Lon & Jess' began with salsa. They met dancing at Boulder’s Avalon Ballroom in 2009—when Facebook felt “newish” and chance encounters still ruled the night. When they were ready to get engaged, an evening stroll down Pearl Street and an early search for vintage glam engagement rings led to a humble $200 ring from a quirky shop—unique enough to mark the beginning when two entrepreneurs were just starting out.
Fast forward to fifteen years later, Jess felt it was finally time for a redesign. She’d always wanted a ring that was vintage, classy, and unmistakably her. When she discovered Bohemi’s Harlow engagement ring, from our Art Deco collection, everything clicked: the clean geometry, the Deco drama, and that Great Gatsby glow she’d imagined from the start. In her words: “It’s a representation of a classy, kick‑ass queen. It’s me.”
We listened, guided, and refined together—moving to 18k yellow gold to flatter her skin tone and selecting lab‑grown diamonds for modern sustainability without sacrificing sparkle. The redesign channels the spirit of Art Deco engagement rings, nodding to Old Hollywood engagement rings with crisp symmetry and heirloom intent.
