Designs

Since it's inception in 2015, Rockford Collection has claimed to focus on redefining traditional jewelry norms through the creation of designs that break away from the "status quo."^[1] Originally created to cater to individuals looking for unique and non-traditional wedding rings for men, Rockford has since expanded to include "...pieces that are not limited by traditional gender boundaries." ^[2]

Rockford is known for "large and chunky" ^[2] gold rings that draw inspiration from America's rich gold mining history. Rockford designs are easily recognizable thanks to their signature screw motif- a branded easter egg if you will. Rockford screw heads can be found on virtually every design produced by the brand.

Collaborative Collections

Rockford's first collaborative collection was designed in partnership with Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey- the collection was aptly named the "Empire Collection".^[3]

Rockford's second collaborative collection- the Eminence Collection- was designed with multi-time WWE championship winner Charlotte Flair. The collection was identified through the combination of geometric silhouettes and conflict-free diamonds.^[4] ^[5]
