One of my biggest requests that I receive in my inbox or private messages on Instagram is the onslaught of women asking for advice on how to perfectly pair their newly acquired antique or vintage engagement ring with a wedding band. Even for an expert like me who is in the field on a daily basis, constantly seeing antique engagement rings of unique style and flair, the answer to the great hunt has always been the same: it’s tough to match!

I was really excited to hear when fellow vintage lovers Maejean Vintage announced that they were launching their own line of handcrafted bands, all of which are antique-inspired. I knew they would understand the struggle of finding an ideal wedding band because they too are constantly on the hunt and have been receiving feedback from their loyal customers for over eight years. Both Amanda and Laura, sisters and owners of Maejean, know what sells, what is popular as a motif, and what people are looking for when buying a band. There is always a band that is “not plain enough” or “not enough filigree” and Maejean’s ultimate goal with the first batch of original designs was to create six bands that fulfill their top requests. Every band is handmade using recycled metals and ethically sourced gemstones, all locally in Pennsylvania where the business is based. What is even more fun is that each band is named after a strong and inspiring woman from the sisters’ lives, all which happen to be ancestors of the duo.
