      Working with Brooke at Porter

      Working with Brooke at Porter Gulch was amazing. I came to her with some engagement ring ideas and she made my dream a reality. She created exactly what I was looking for in the time frame I needed it completed in. The process was smooth and easy. My now fiancé (she said yes) is absolutely in love with the ring. She talks about it every day. You can't go wrong with Porter Gulch!

      We absolutely loved working with

      We absolutely loved working with Brooke to design our engagement ring! After viewing rings in several jewelry shops, we weren't finding exactly what we wanted. We're so grateful to have found Porter Gulch, as Brooke made the process exciting, fun and simple. She created a gorgeous design, and it was exactly what we had been looking for, the perfect engagement ring. Thank you Brooke!

      Working with Brooke was incredible!

      Working with Brooke was incredible! I had a vision for my wedding band inspired by The Daisy Ring and she helped it come to life, customizing it to fit beautifully with my engagement ring. She was professional, caring and transparent every step of the way. Despite working together on opposite sides of the country, I never felt like my rings were 2,000 miles away. She cared for my engagement ring and crafted my wedding band as if they were her own. I absolutely LOVE wedding band and look forward to working with Brooke again in the future!

      The design of the ring

      The design of the ring is so beautiful, and Brooke went the extra mile to help me find a unique stone within my budget. I feel like I ended up with a one-of-a-kind ring that my future fiancé is going to fall in love with.

      Brooke was an absolute delight to work with. She was quick to respond to my emails, easy to talk to about my needs, and the ring was absolutely beautiful! We know exactly who we’re going to when it comes time for wedding bands!

      I reached out to Brooke

      I reached out to Brooke after losing an earring of a pair that my grandmother had left to me when she died. I was devastated knowing that this was the one heirloom I had left. I really liked the earrings but I don’t wear them often. Brooke was so awesome to share some ring designs that I could choose from in order to repurpose the earring. After choosing one and getting my size to her, she kept me updated on every step of the process. This was awesome because there were no hidden fees or surprises at the end. Once getting the ring, it is beautiful and I am so glad to have something I will wear everyday in remembrance of my grandma. Huge thank you to Brooke and Porter Gulch for making it happen!

      Being in the wedding industry,

      Being in the wedding industry, I actually met Brooke a while back at the the Big Fake Wedding in SF. Her aesthetic and personality immediately stood out to me. So when the time came, she was our first stop. I must have driven her absolutely nuts with the amount of input and feedback I provided her. I shared dozens of pictures with her and she shared a few designs that were inspired by the pictures. Being someone who is super particular and pretty hard to please, I must have shared with her pages and pages of emails and feedback to which she responded to with the utmost patience and genuine enthusiasm. She made it feel like I was just talking to a friend and after we went in circles and circles about what the design would be, I ultimately selected the very first design she had sent me. And that’s when I knew for certain that we had picked the right designer. Brooke has the patience of saint and was able to allay my fears of designing something I’d be wearing every day for the rest of my life. Brooke is both an amazing professional to work with and an extremely talented artist with an unique eye for sparkles. The final result was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I’ve never seen a ring prettier than the one on my hand right now and no pictures can capture the way I feel about this ring! It’s just the right balance of grandeur and simplicity and most of all - it is 100% me. I can not thank Brooke enough for being a part of one of the most special days of my life and I would not only recommend her but convince anyone else looking for a jeweler, that she is the only one they need!!! -- Sahana Brooke is one of those people that just gets you from very early on. I came in dreading to go through the custom ring process, but I knew very quickly that dealing with Brooke was going to be different. Her patience, ability to listen, and proactively suggest options that fit our vision made the entire process a pure joy. She is also extremely responsive and is a pleasure...

      I reached out to a

      I reached out to a few places looking for a custom engagement ring, and Brooke was miles ahead of anyone else I talked to. From day 1, she was incredibly friendly, helpful and thorough. She understood what I was going for, (even when that changed as we went) and found me so many great gemstones to choose from. Every step of the process was super smooth and left me with lots of confidence that the ring was going to be perfect.

      Wow, where to begin. I

      Wow, where to begin. I first met Brooke a few years ago through a work connection; I interviewed her about her jewelry business for my blog. I immediately fell for her simple yet unique settings and custom work across all pieces, from rings to earrings and more. Fast forward to summer 2018 when my original wedding and engagement rings were stolen -- feeling sad about losing the now-10-year-old set, I remembered loving Porter Gulch and I reached out to Brooke, contemplating a custom engagement ring and wedding band set. From the initial conversation, Brooke's attention to detail, ability to listen to ALL of my questions (I am a fine jewelry novice) and my waffling on decisions, and guidance throughout the process transformed what was originally a sad experience into one that was truly fun and exciting!! I worked with Brooke to find a gorgeous diamond through her contacts in San Francisco, and she was incredible at listening to exactly what we were looking to see and to spend to help us choose the perfect stone. Then, Brooke designed a custom yellow gold engagement ring halo setting and delicate infinity band with teeny, sparkling diamonds -- both enhanced the stunner of a center stone. She even worked with my husband to surprise me with the pair when they were done. And you should SEE THEM. OMG. Photos really don't do them justice, they are SO sparkly. They really are distractingly beautiful. I may even love them more than the originals for their timelessness and uniqueness. Thank you thank you Brooke; your work is exceptional, your service is unparalleled. 5/5, would work with again. 😘💍✨

      Brooke designed an absolutely perfect

      Brooke designed an absolutely perfect engagement ring for my fiancé. My experience working with Porter Gulch was great from start to end – I came in to the process knowing what cut of diamond my fiancé wanted, what her ring size was, what my budget was, and pretty much nothing else. Brooke was able to take a few pictures and ideas I provided and work with me from there to create a beautiful, elegant ring that is both unique and timeless. Plus it was under my budget, I was able to control where the diamonds came from, and I felt involved in the whole design process. Brooke kept me really well informed, so I had a super clear idea of what the ring would look like from the jump, from what the diamonds looked like, to what size they would be on my fiancé’s hand, to the computer-generated design, which looked exactly like the finished ring. I’m not located in San Francisco, and when I started the process I was a little nervous about doing it long-distance, but now that I’ve done it I would absolutely not do it any other way. Perfect ring, fantastic experience. Thanks Brooke!

      The entire process was so easy, and Brooke was so upbeat and onboard with my idea of combining my wedding and engagement rings into one. The entire process took just about a month, and I have not stopped staring at my ring - it is absolutely perfect, delicate and unique!

      Working with Brooke on my

      Working with Brooke on my bespoke wedding band was an absolute pleasure, from concept to finished product. I discovered Porter Gulch via a Pinterest post, and immediately reached out. As soon as I saw the pieces on the PG website, I knew that it was a place that could help me realize my vision. After digitally connecting with Brooke and sending her a few photos of the very unconventional wedding band I had in mind, she quickly sent me back a few different sketched ideas. I'm positive I could have been over the moon pleased with any of them-- every single one was stunning. Moving throughout the process with her-- from sketches, to CAD drawings, to 3D printed model, to the finalized band-- was nothing short of awe inspiring. She truly is an artist, and it's a pleasure not just to watch her work, but to participate. She kept me looped in and asked for my feedback every step of the way. After realizing that we would be flying into San Francisco for a Napa wedding over a holiday weekend, Brooke went above and beyond to hand deliver my band to me at a Sonoma winery. The entire process was so unbelievably special, and it means so very much to know how much love and care went into creating something that I will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you so much, Brooke.

      Working with Brooke was great,

      Working with Brooke was great, and the resulting ring is beautiful. She was very transparent at each step and communicated the different choices we could make. She met with my fiancée multiple times, and with her mother and sister, then talked me through all the options, making recommendations along the way. I am very happy to have had Brooke make our engagement ring, it turned out incredible.

      My custom engagement ring is

      My custom engagement ring is absolutely perfect. I came to Brooke with a number of styles I liked, which were (admittedly) all over the place, and she was so wonderful in helping me figure out what details were most important to me. The result is a ring that PERFECTLY suits my style and will, I'm sure, become a treasured family heirloom. I get so many compliments on it, and even though we've been engaged for a few months now, and I still can't stop looking at it!

      Brooke is such an amazing

      Brooke is such an amazing person and a very talented jeweler! I can't imagine going to anyone else. She made a custom engagement ring for my fiance and is currently working on my wedding band and I already know the finished product is going to be absolutely amazing. She is very knowledgable and really takes the time to get to know you to get exactly what you want. I've since referred friends, family, and everyone I know to Brooke and Porter Gulch because she does such great work and is so fun and easy to work with on any project. No question, I'll be calling on Brooke for all my future jewelry needs. Thank you Brooke!

      This was an incredibly positive experience for me. I had no idea how to go about proposing to my partner. everything seemed so complicated but the one piece of the puzzle that was easy was the engagement ring that I got through Brooke at Porter Gulch. Brooke was incredibly Hands-On, helpful and creative while helping me navigate the perfect design for my fiance. I have been recommending her to others because my experience was so positive. I would hire Brooke again in a heartbeat but let's hope this is my only wedding!

      "I went to Brooke with

      "I went to Brooke with an unusual ring request: I wanted to re-do my engagement ring after being married for a few years. The original design was lovely, but it wasn't right for the stone my husband and I chose and I wanted something that let in more light. Working with a ring design I was fond of and images of an Art Deco drawing as inspiration, Brooke was able to translate my dream and vision into a stunning ring. I love it!"

      We had the most wonderful

      We had the most wonderful experience working with Brooke to design and create my 20th anniversary ring. She was calm and patient as she went over each of the different stone and setting styles that I was interested in considering. At all stages of the process, she gave us several options and made sure we were choosing the ring that would be the right fit for me. The entire experience was pleasant and easy. I LOVE the ring, its simply perfection. We love supporting small businesses especially those that go out of their way to give you a unique and positive experience. I look forward to working with Brooke again in the future.
