Amelie

If you're a long-time client, you surely know Amelie! She founded Identity Diamonds in 2016 in Austin Texas, and built it from the ground up. For years, she took care of every client, fulfilled every order, answered every email and call. Her gift for listening and understanding what her clients want is one of her greatest strengths.

Nowadays, with a team by her side, her role is to oversee the company's operations, with vision and heart. She continues to create unique custom designs for clients looking to bring their jewelry vision to life.

In her own words

First, I listen carefully. Then, I draw what people are imagining in their minds. I turn their ideas into real sparkly treasures using shiny metals and colorful, precious gems! And I make sure to do it all in a way that’s kind to the planet.

Attentive, joyful, detail-oriented.

I’m fascinated by neuroscience and the nervous system — and by the body’s incredible chemistry and intelligence. I’m also deeply interested in the field of somatics, especially how our physical awareness can support emotional well-being and presence in daily life.

I make a point of staying present in my body throughout the day — which sometimes means stretching in weird ways, deep breathing, swaying, rocking… even dancing for no apparent reason. It might look a little strange, but it feels so good. You should try it!

It's a real 50/50 between Shine by Daniel Lanois and In the Throes by John Moreland.

The most fulfilling part of my work is creating a jewelry shopping experience that feels truly positive, meaningful, and authentic. I'm so grateful I get to help my clients feel seen and understood — and to exceed their expectations every step of the way!

In her own words

My job is to be creative and help people bring their jewelry dreams to life.

Optimistic, creative, personable.

Hand-thrown pottery and glass blowing!

I hate wasting food but have an aversion to eating leftovers.

As a mom of toddlers, anything but Cocomelon, besides that I will always have a weakness for anything from Broadway.

Seeing the absolute joy someone gets out of something you had a hand in bringing to life and getting to be a part of the start of their forever story.

In her own words

I help make shiny, pretty rings and diamonds famous on the internet! I take pictures and videos of them, tell fun stories, and make sure lots of people see them and love them. It’s like showing off your favorite toy to all your friends so they want one too!

Empathetic, adaptable, detailed-oriented

I've always been fascinated by the way ancient civilizations and their historical sites were built and how they thrived in times that seem so distant from us today. It would be amazing to explore and understand how these civilizations shaped the world, uncovering the hidden mysteries and stories of their existence.

I have this unstoppable urge to rearrange my space — whether it's moving my desk to another corner or making some other drastic change. I tend to do it on a whim, and once it’s on my mind, nothing can stop me until I’ve made the change.

Set in Stone by Stick Figure. My now husband and I listened to it on our first road trip together, so it holds a special place in my heart. The album brings back great memories and has such a chill vibe that I could easily play it on repeat.

The most fulfilling part of my work is seeing how our content connects with people. It’s rewarding knowing that what I create helps them make informed decisions about engagement rings, while showcasing the love, craftsmanship, and customization that go into each piece.

Stone setter extraordinaire, jeweler

Benjamin

Finding a jeweler who can set a diamond flawlessly is rare. Finding a jeweler who can set a diamond flawlessly, geek out on etymology, and come up with million dollar play-on-words is nearly unheard of! But Ben has got it all.

Ben joined the team in 2018 as a freelancer, and his incredible talent and attention to detail guarantee that your valuable gems will always be set securely, with precision and the utmost care.

You can’t reach Ben, we’re keeping him all to ourselves.

Tool Making -Smithing, Machining, etc.
