Our Story
The Valentina Rings Story
“A legacy of perfection, preserved in every piece.”
“ For years, Elena Valentina worked with leading jewelry houses, mastering her craft and studying the industry closely. She admired the artistry, but she also saw what was missing: authenticity. Too often, jewelry was sold at inflated prices, built on marketing illusions and glamorous storefronts, while true sustainability and responsibility were overlooked. ” - Elena, Founder.
In 2008, Elena stepped away from the big brands and began her journey from a small garage workshop in Chicago. With her experience and her dream, she founded Valentina Rings — a house dedicated to perfection, rare design, and conscious craftsmanship.
“Jewelry should symbolize love, not exploitation. Every piece must carry meaning, not just brilliance.
My vision has always been to create designs that feel personal and lasting — crafted with integrity, beauty, and responsibility. True luxury is not found in bright lights or big names, but in pieces that reflect love, carry purpose, and respect the world we share.”
— Elena Valentina
Today, Valentina Rings is a distinguished atelier crafting responsibly made engagement rings, wedding bands, and fine jewellery—each piece set in solid gold and featuring lab-grown diamonds or moissanite, designed to be treasured for generations.
Rooted in Elena Valentina’s commitment to craft and conscience, our collections honour her pursuit of perfection: thoughtful design, transparent sourcing, and a firm dedication to sustainability have resonated with customers across the United States since our online launch in 2022.
Every Valentina piece is made with meticulous care and intended to feel personal—hand-finished, responsibly sourced, and offered through our online store so you can choose a ring that reflects your story and values.
Our Purpose
From its earliest days, Valentina Rings has been about integrity and beauty working together. What started as a vision of artistry has grown into a philosophy: that luxury must also be responsible.
In 2016, Elena made a defining choice — to move entirely to lab-grown diamonds and moissanite, stones that carried the same brilliance and durability but without the scars of mining. It was not just a material shift; it was a transformation in values.
Elena created only 194 unique pieces in her lifetime, each a testament to her pursuit of perfection. When she passed in 2020, she left behind more than jewelry; she left behind a legacy of meaningful luxury.
Today, our team carries forward her vision, crafting pieces in fine solid gold, set with sustainable brilliance, designed to feel like they belong to you — and only you.
Our Mission
At Valentina Rings, we’re committed to carrying forward Elena Valentina’s vision of conscious luxury.
Our mission is to create fine jewellery that is as responsible as it is beautiful — crafted with lab-grown diamonds and moissanite, set in solid gold, and designed to celebrate love without compromise.
Enduring Style
We believe true style never fades. Each Valentina design blends timeless artistry with subtle modern touches, creating jewellery that feels both classic and contemporary. Our pieces are meant to be cherished for a lifetime and passed down as treasured heirlooms.
Environmental Conscience
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. By working exclusively with lab-grown diamonds and moissanite, we eliminate the need for harmful mining, reducing environmental impact while delivering stones of equal brilliance, durability, and beauty.
Social Responsibility
Our commitment goes beyond the jewellery itself. From responsible sourcing to fair labour practices, we uphold ethical standards at every stage of our process. Each piece reflects our dedication to integrity, care, and conscious craftsmanship.
Client Focused
Every love story is unique — and so is every Valentina piece. We design jewellery that feels deeply personal, offering guidance, customization, and care to ensure each creation reflects the meaning and emotion behind it.
Made to Last
A Valentina ring is more than a symbol of love; it’s a promise of longevity. Crafted in solid gold and set with lab-grown diamonds or moissanite, our jewellery is designed to endure everyday wear while retaining its brilliance for generations.
Expert Craftsmanship
Behind every piece lies meticulous attention to detail. Our master artisans combine traditional techniques with modern innovation to achieve flawless finishes, delicate settings, and designs that embody both beauty and strength.
