I often hear folks complain about the homogenous aesthetic of engagement rings and wedding bands. If you’re one of those people that like to think out the box — or your significant other is — then put Studio of Ptah on your radar now. The brand is a fave of trendsetters like Erykah Badu and is filled with African inspired yellow gold, white gold, pink gold and silver pieces. Take a look at the engagement rings and wedding bands and notice the incorporation of the ankh throughout the collections. Asian and Native American cultures are often used as inspiration for these custom pieces as well.
Each Studio of Ptah piece is designed and crafted by hand in their downtown New York City showroom so it is a refreshing change of pace from the predictable Zales bridal purchase. Contact the showroom directly and a rep will contact you within 24 hours to go over the details of your order and quote a price. (FYI – You can save hundreds or even thousands off your purchase by recycling your old gold.) If you’re not in the market for a one-of-a kind wedding band and/or engagement or ring, Studio of Ptah also offers a nice selection of pendants, earrings and bracelets that could make an unexpected anniversary gift.
If you contact Studio of Ptah, be sure to mention BlackBridalBliss.com sent ya!
THANK YOU for this timely post, and for providing brown brides with resources and vendors we can’t find anywhere else/might not ever have found on our own. I’d really been struggling to find a band that had meaning, rather than just diamonds. =) THANK YOU!
Very nice. I always like unique and personalized jewelry. What is the pricing like generally for the regular items, not the custom made ones? I couldn’t find it on the site.

YAY! So very excited about this link! I finally found a place I want to use to design my fiancé’s ring. I’d been looking for a place that could incorporate the gye nyame symbol, and this is it! Thanks again.
You’re welcome, guys!
