Handmade custom engagement rings & jewelry - Howard County, Maryland

Ellicott City, Maryland, and Beyond

Proud Designs is the studio of artist Nick Proudfoot - two crafts, one pair of hands.

Every ring is made by hand, from first sketch to finished piece: one-of-a-kind engagement rings, wedding bands and wire-wrapped originals in gold, platinum, silver, titanium and tungsten. Off the bench, Nick turns the same eye to the night sky - fine-art and astrophotography prints from Maryland and beyond. Whether you are designing a ring or reimagining a family heirloom, you work with the maker, start to finish.

The Jewelry

Engagement rings, wedding bands, pendants and wire-wrapped originals - plus repair, resizing and bringing tired pieces back to life. Made by hand, never mass-produced.

The Photography

Fine-art landscape and astrophotography prints, shot and printed by Nick. Star trails, the Milky Way and quiet Maryland skies - statement pieces, ready to frame.

The Maker

Made by hand, in Maryland - start to finish

01

Design

We talk it through and sketch it together - your idea, your stones, your story.

02

Craft

Every piece is built by hand at the bench - no factory, no two alike.

03

Cherish

You walk away with something one of a kind - and a maker you can call again.

Have something in mind?

Tell Nick about your ring, your moment, or the wall that needs a print. Every project starts with a conversation.
