We've heard so many great things about Alloy.
Will and I have known each other since preschool and grew up going to the same church and were friends for a while. Senior year of high school we started dating and realized how much we enjoyed being together. Through college we grew in our love for each other, for God, and saw how He's placed us together.
We've heard so many great things about Alloy.
Kyle's co-worker highly recommended Aram and Alloy.
Thank goodness for the internet and a dating app! We met in the only way that made sense at that point in our lives, even if it meant stepping outside our
comfort zones. Our first date was in downtown Cedar Falls: a walk along the river and dinner at Whiskey Road. That next weekend we took a trip to Pike's Peak, spending the day hiking, with stops at the apple orchard and a brewery. By the end of the weekend, it
was pretty obvious this was the real deal. We're opposites in so many ways, yet that contrast works for us. I truly believe we're better partners - and better parents - because of the lives we lived before finding each other.
Kyle's co-worker highly recommended Aram and Alloy. After meeting with Aram and seeing how involved he would be in the design process, Kyle knew this was the right jeweler where he could help create a
truly one-of-a-kind, custom piece.
From the very beginning, Alloy felt different.
We met my freshman year of college, I was on the soccer team and Jordy was on the football team. He knew some of my teammates and kept asking them to
introduce him to me. We started off as friends, but it quickly became something more, and I knew very early on that he was the one I was meant to be with.
He asked me to marry him recently on a trip to Hawaii with my family. One night, he asked me to go watch the sunset with him, and while we were standing there together, he got down on one knee and asked me to spend our lives together. It was such a special, beautiful moment that I will cherish forever.
From the very beginning, Alloy felt different. Aram has created several meaningful pieces for me over the years, so there was never any question that we wanted him to make this ring. We weren't just shopping for an engagement ring, we were creating
something that would represent our relationship, our future, and everything we've grown through together.
Aram took my vision and turned it into something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I wanted something classic but not ordinary. Soft, romantic, and meaningful, and he listened so carefully to every detail. Much of the ring was made using my grandma's ring, and he was able to transform it into a piece that feels perfectly me and perfectly us.
We are endlessly grateful for the care, artistry, and heart that went into creating something we will cherish forever.
I have known and adored the Susongs for ages so it was a no-brainer to work with Aram when the time came.
Derek and I met at the end of 2018 and quickly realized we were a true opposites-attract story. He was a quiet, steady man - a divorced dad with two kids - and I was single into my mid-30s, bubbly, warm, and full of energy. When I moved in on March 1, 2020, just as the world was changing, we found ourselves navigating real life together right away and learned how naturally our differences balanced each other. This past summer, Derek proposed after a hot air balloon ride, and now we're looking forward to an intimate elopement and the next chapter of the life we're building.
I have known and adored the Susongs for
ages so it was a no-brainer to work with Aram when the time came. Being able to
communicate exactly what I envisioned for my ring and see it crafted into something so unique and personal was truly priceless. After waiting my whole life for this moment, it felt nothing short of magical.
Our experience with Alloy has been amazing. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and taken care of.
Ben and I met in high school through a mutual friend and were friends for about five years before we realized we liked each other as more than just friends. We'd hang out in our friend group during college breaks, and things slowly started to change. We started dating in fall 2023 and quickly became best friends. Ben proposed in Hawaii in December 2025, and now we're so excited to spend the rest of our lives together!
Our experience with Alloy has been amazing. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and taken care of. The staff is super friendly, personable, and truly makes sure you have a great experience.
We looked at a few spots and could not find quite what we were looking for.
We always seemed to be around each other but didn't notice. Landon was first friends with my younger brother but I didn't know him at the time. I then started working at a country club his family was members at. He had asked a mutual friend for my contact. We then stayed in touch and grew a friendship for years until our paths finally crossed at
the right time! We dated most of college and I moved with him when he transferred schools and we got engaged in Illinois, in the town where we started our lives together!
We looked at a few spots and could not find quite what we were looking for. Landon was able to work with Alloy to create exactly what I hoped for and we are so happy with my ring!
We also knew so many people with great
experiences. My dad just recently upgraded my mom’s ring with Alloy too, so many great reviews!
We had connections with Aram because of growing up with his daughter, which made the experience even more special.
Cooper and I first met in high school, where we learned to navigate classes and friendships together. There is nothing more special than growing up with your best friend. We navigated college through the highs and lows of long distance. But most of all, we were there for each other even if we weren't always in the same town. Now, as we both approach graduation, we knew
that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. Cooper asked the question and it was an obvious yes!
We had connections with Aram because of growing up with his daughter, which made
the experience even more special. He worked with Cooper to craft the perfect ring to signify our relationship with each other and our mission to put God at the center of it.
The experience at Alloy was nothing short of amazing.
Gracee and Jamison’s journey began the night of their freshman year homecoming on September 30, 2017, when he asked her to be his girlfriend. From that day on, they grew side by side, through high school, attending college at the University of Northern Iowa, and into their careers in Cedar Falls.
On June 13, 2025, Jamison pulled off the perfect surprise proposal, beginning their next chapter together. Grateful for the many years and milestones that have led them here, they are cherishing this sweet season of engagement and excited to celebrate their wedding next October surrounded by family and friends.
The experience at Alloy was nothing short of amazing. Within the first 20 minutes of talking with Aram, I could see his passion for being such an important part of couples' journeys. He made sure the ring we designed was exactly what I was looking for. The whole process went extremely smoothly, and I will continue to recommend everyone I know to talk with the team at Alloy for the same great experience I had.
Tyler and I first met on January 25, 2024, at Maple Lanes in Waterloo. What started as a casual night out quickly turned into something special.
Tyler and I first met on January 25, 2024, at Maple Lanes in Waterloo. What started as a casual night out quickly turned into something special. Over the
next few weeks, we went on countless fun dates, sharing laughs, new experiences, and lots of late-night conversations that made us realize how much we enjoyed being together. By Valentine's Day, it was official, we were a couple.
A year and a half later, Tyler got down on one knee and asked the question we both knew the answer to from the very beginning. From our first strike at Maple Lanes to the moment he proposed, it's always been clear that we were meant for each other.
We design in conversation. Each piece begins with proportion, intention, and clarity. If you're ready to create something original, we're ready to begin.
