Nestled in Chattanooga’s downtown is Moonryvr’s recently-opened Cowart Street studio, welcoming folks into the world of bespoke jewelry design.
Bespoke are custom-made pieces of jewelry that are creative collaborations between the client and the jewelry designer — meaning you get to be part of the process from start to finish.
Be part of every step when designing your jewelry.
Katie + Will Wright have brought this kind of experience to Chattanooga with Moonryvr. They create fine jewelry of all kinds and specialize in timeless-meets-modern style engagement rings.
You can either start from scratch or choose to personalize one of Katie Wright’s signature, vintage-inspired designs. Each piece will be designed in the studio, and you can book a private appointment to start the process.
Bonus: You can check out these pieces at Moonryvr’s holiday preview open house on Friday, Nov. 22 from 4 to 6 p.m., where you’ll be able to enjoy wine and refreshments, try on jewelry, and learn more about the work they do.
