Well, well… my friends, my customers, and all the beautiful souls who follow this page 🤍
What an incredible journey these past two decades have been — fully devoted to my rings, my brand, and most importantly, to you and your happiness wearing them. Time moves so quickly. Our families grow, we grow, and life gently shifts. The time has come for me to spend more meaningful time abroad with my family in France.
This past summer, I had the joy of welcoming my father and my little family here to our home in the mountains above Palm Desert. It filled my heart in ways I can’t even describe. And yet… in what felt like a blink, they were gone again. This next chapter is about evolution — and support. I dream of seeing my rings more accessible to you. I want you to be able to walk into a store, try them on and take them home the very same day.
With only my ten fingers carefully crafting each piece, alongside the daily love and work I pour into my mini mountain ranch/rescue, creating habitats, and caring for the land — there are simply limits to how many rings I can personally produce.
So this year, I will begin reaching out to potential business partners and larger retail stores to help with manufacturing and distribution of the original designs.
Please know this: I am not disappearing. I am not stepping away. I know how much these rings have meant in your lives, your style and memories. That means everything to me. I will continue creating custom rings for you and designing new pieces throughout the year. But I am also ready to place the OGs into hands that can help them travel further than I can alone.
And now, may I ask something from you? As a humble gift back to me, I would absolutely love to hear your love stories with your Valou rings. Tell me something fun, unusual, something tender. Make my heart smile!
And please — share where you would love to purchase your future rings. A brick-and-mortar store? A favorite online retailer? I am truly all ears.
Today I am remembering how you have been my very own “Valoutines” since 2006. That love and support is a gift I will cherish forever and beyond. 💫 💘
With all my heart,
Valou
