60 years ago, Sue’s Dad gave the love of his life an engagement ring. Unfortunately, Dad recently passed away, just months before their 60th anniversary. And when Sue was going through things with her Mom, they found this wedding ring. It was missing the original diamond, and it was dull from age and wear. Mom hadn’t worn it in years. But she wanted to wear it again.
Watch as Tami & Moriki take you behind the scenes for a special look at this meaningful repair. Thanks to Sue and her family for giving us the honor to restore such an important piece.

The project will be designed locally by Kyle Glandon and Paul Scharnett at Hewn Architectural Studio (the new entity formed at the start of 2024 by the merger of Workbench and SAA), and be built locally by Catalyst Construction, led by the team of Andy Kaufmann, Britt Steffen, and Josiah Koch.
It was an honor to have a crowd of family, friends, and colleagues join us for the celebration.
