Amanda was introduced to gemology at a young age by her mother, who is a passionate gemstone collector. Formerly from Goldman Sachs, Amanda’s meticulous approach to the custom ring process is regularly raved about by her global clientele.
Amanda gained her certification from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in New York City, one of the largest and most important diamond markets in the world.
What made her start August Bespoke?
At one point in her life, many of her friends started getting engaged. After visiting store after store with them, she realized that the experience of buying an engagement ring was broken. Stores only wanted to sell what they had and the options were limited.
These challenges gave Amanda the inspiration to create August Bespoke to provide neutral and objective advice, with a focus on your WHY and to provide limitless possibilities just for you.
