Her & Her Engagement Rings
Maybe one of you proposes. Maybe you both do. Maybe you skip the proposal and pick rings together on a Saturday afternoon. However your story goes, we're here to make the rings that tell it.
Haejin Jewelry. Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Lab-grown diamonds and recycled gold, designed for both of you. As featured in Brownstoner and Plan with Laur. Coming soon in Dancing With Her
Why Haejin Jewelry
Both of You
Want matching solitaires? Complementary designs? One bold ring and one understated band? We've designed every combination. There's no template for your relationship, so there shouldn't be one for your rings.
Design Together or Surprise Each Other
Some couples come in together to design side by side. Others come separately to plan a surprise. Either way, Sue keeps your secret safe and makes sure both rings feel like they belong together.
Ethical and Intentional
Lab-grown diamonds, recycled gold, conflict-free sourcing. Every ring is made with the same care you put into choosing each other.
A Private Experience
Our Williamsburg studio is a one-on-one space. No open floor, no overhead lighting, no salespeople. Just Sue, her bench, and whatever you've been imagining. She'll listen first, then show you options. If you want to browse together, the whole studio is yours. If one of you wants to design in secret, she'll manage the logistics. Walk-ins welcome, private appointments available.
How to Design Your Ring
Every ring at Haejin Jewelry is made to order. There is no inventory to browse, no display case to lean over. You design something that exists nowhere else in the world.
1. Explore
Start with our online Ring Builder to browse settings, shapes, and metals. Or visit the Custom Design page to begin something entirely your own.
2. Meet Sue
Walk in or book a private appointment at our Williamsburg studio. Sue sits with you both, or just one of you if it is a surprise. She will learn what matters to each of you and walk you through diamonds, metals, and settings at your pace.
3. Create
Sue handles the design and production personally. 3D CAD modeling, revisions until every detail is right, and made-to-order production in recycled gold with an IGI-certified lab-grown diamond. Your rings are finished in 2 to 3 weeks.
Engagement Rings
Every ring is made to order in our Brooklyn studio. Your diamond, your metal, your size. Nothing pulled from a display case.
Wedding Bands & Matching Sets
Or design your own. Width, profile, metal, texture, engraving. 9 dimensions, infinite combinations.
Rings for Two
There is no template for your relationship. There should not be one for your rings.
Dancing With Her · Upcoming Editorial
Somewhere tonight, a woman is searching for proof that this is possible.
This fall, Dancing With Her, the largest publication in the world for women who love women, is telling the story of what happens at my bench when a couple designs their rings together. No secret to keep. No script to follow. Two people, side by side, deciding what forever looks like.
I said yes to the feature for one reason. I trained on 47th Street for six years and I never once saw a ring ad where a woman was proposing to a woman. The couples who sit across from me now deserve to see themselves. Not in a stock photo with a rainbow filter. In real rings, on real hands, with real names if they want them.
Something changed in my studio this year. More and more of you are walking in together. Nobody is guessing at a ring size in secret. Nobody is being told which one of you is the bride. You are building something as a pair from the very first conversation, and honestly, it has changed the way I think about what I do.
Sue Kim, founder, Haejin Jewelry
Would you let your story be one of them?
If you made your rings with me, or you are about to, I would be honored to include you. Send me the photos you love. The proposal, the reveal, the two of you on an ordinary Tuesday with your hands together. Tell me how you met, or how you decided, or why you chose the stones you chose. With your permission, your story can be submitted to Dancing With Her as a real engagement feature, and it will live on this page for the next couple who finds it looking for proof.
On your terms. Always.
Only if you want to.
There is no expectation and no pressure. Saying no changes nothing about how I work with you.
You choose what is shared.
First names, initials, or no names at all. Faces, or just your hands. Where you live, or nowhere at all. Your call, every time.
Nothing goes anywhere without your yes.
You see every word and every photo before it is published, and you can change your mind at any point, even after.

Why Couples Choose Haejin Jewelry
There are a lot of places to buy an engagement ring in New York. Department stores with fluorescent lighting. Chain jewelers where the salesperson asks which one of you is the bride. Online retailers where you never see the ring until it arrives in a box. Haejin Jewelry is none of those things. We are a woman-owned studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Our founder, Sue Kim, trained on 47th Street and spent six years learning from the best diamantaires in the Diamond District before opening her own studio. She works directly with every client. There is no sales team, no call center, no script. When you email us, Sue responds. When you visit, Sue is the one sitting across from you with a loupe and a quiet room. Couples come to Haejin because they want someone who listens before she designs. Someone who will show them the diamond under a microscope before it is set. Someone who treats the ring as seriously as the moment it represents.
The Same Diamond. A Different Origin.
A lab-grown diamond is not a simulated diamond. It is a real diamond. Same carbon lattice, same Mohs 10 hardness, same fire under restaurant lighting. The only difference is origin. One came out of the earth. Yours was grown in a chamber that recreates the conditions 100 miles below the surface. Sue will show you the stone under a microscope before it is set. You will not be able to tell the difference. Neither will anyone else.

What Our Clients Say
"Personal care from an expert jeweler. Sue reached out to me directly, helped me design the ring, helped me pick out a diamond, and negotiated on my behalf. I got a great deal for the size and quality of diamond and it's so beautiful. Honestly couldn't be happier."
"I had no idea what I wanted but Sue helped guide and educate me. She encouraged me to take my time in my decision as it was a big one! I didn't see the final creation until I was proposed to and I was blown away. Truly exactly what I wanted. I am so happy to support a small business in my neighborhood."
"Unlike other places I visited, it was obvious that Sue really cared about finding what was best for us, and not just trying to sell us the most expensive ring possible. If you go with Haejin you absolutely will not regret it and you will receive something better than you ever could've imagined."
"She helped me create the ring of my dreams. Sue involved me in the whole process, so I got to see the stone in person before moving forward, and got a mockup of the design as it was being made. The result is unreal. Local, woman-owned, and realistic pricing...I can't say enough good things about Haejin Jewelry."
"She guided me, explained all the different options, we iterated together to find something which my partner would like and then she manufactured our dream ring for us. Sue is incredibly warm and kind and I can only recommend anyone to go to her. My fiancee immediately said yes and she thinks the ring is 'just perfect.'"
"From the very beginning Sue made the entire experience feel so easy, thoughtful, and personal. She found the most incredible antique elongated cushion stone. Truly the ring I had been searching for my whole life, even in my dreams!! I truly cannot recommend Haejin enough."
