Operations & Inventory Coordinator
ABOUT THE COMPANY
At CustomMade, we believe engagement rings should be as personal as the relationships they represent. We make it easy to create a ring that’s both one-of-a-kind and affordable. Turns out people really like that and word is really spreading quickly! We’ve created 30,000 pieces of custom jewelry and helped 12,000 couples get engaged, but we’re still just getting started reshaping the jewelry industry.
