WALTERS FAITH

Prior to starting Walters Faith with Stephanie Abramow almost nine years ago, Mollie Faith freelanced as a jewellery designer for other fine jewellery companies. Mollie knew from her college days that she wanted to be a designer and took courses in metalsmithing at the University of Michigan, along with design, diamond, and gemology courses at the GIA. “I hired Stephanie at a diamond company we both worked for after she completed her GIA training. We both shared a love for big diamond jewellery, but also felt there was an opportunity to create a collection of accessible, everyday fine jewellery,” says Mollie.

While it took years to evolve, they knew that both of their skillsets lent themselves to creating a nice partnership – a combination of left and

right brain. The duo toyed with the idea of starting their own collection for a while and finally launched their fine jewellery brand in 2013.

The designers use fair trade gold and ethically sourced diamonds to create collections that are a “synthesis of bold and fine,” while also being a nod to the classic and contemporary. Since both of them worked for a diamond sight-holder, they understand the issues with conflict diamonds and corruption; therefore, they work with select jewellers and manufacturers in Manhattan, Bangkok, and Fishbach to ensure the pieces meet all ethical standards.

Couture Debut: The designers were thrilled to be at Couture and unveiled their newest Saxon and Clive pieces, featuring chunky links and the signature Clive fluted design elements.
