WHO WE ARE
Holden’s mission is simple - to change the way we think about and shop for jewelry. First up? Completely refreshing the outdated wedding and engagement ring industry. Having worked in the jewelry industry for many years, our co-founders heard the same horror stories over and over again - couples feeling judged, pressured, and excluded while shopping for wedding and engagement rings.
With Holden, we aim to change that and bring ethically crafted, gender-neutral jewelry direct to customers at an affordable price. We celebrate and cherish every Holden couple, and we donate 1% of sales to The Trevor Project each year as part of our commitment to our LGBTQ+ community. Backed by the investors of Hungry Root, Made In, Boxy Charm, Mack Weldon, and Spindrift, we’re focused on developing new product categories, making jewelry more accessible for all, and rethinking the entire jewelry shopping experience. We are a small, fast-growing team with an ambitious vision and are looking for people who are ready to make an impact from day one.
