When it comes to bridal jewelry, every detail tells a story. For Meagan Kurtz, founder of ADMK Jewelry, the art of jewelry design is about far more than sparkle—it’s about creating heirlooms that capture love, meaning, and timeless beauty.

ADMK Jewelry was founded in 2007 by Meagan Kurtz, who had a vision to create jewelry that was both meaningful and timeless. The name originally began as Adorn Designs by Meagan Kurtz, but at her daughter’s suggestion, it was shortened to the more memorable acronym ADMK. From the start, Meagan set ambitious goals for the brand—securing retail partnerships, gaining local and national press coverage, and building recognition within the jewelry industry. After several successful years, she made the intentional decision to pause the business in order to focus on her family, returning with a renewed sense of purpose and dedication to her craft.

Today, ADMK Jewelry is guided by three core values: timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and genuine connection. Each piece is created to be more than an accessory, carrying a story that lasts long after the moment it is worn. The brand’s commitment to integrity and detail is evident in both the design process and the customer experience, ensuring that every creation reflects the care, passion, and artistry at the heart of ADMK Jewelry.

To learn more about the inspiration behind ADMK Jewelry, the design process, and what makes the brand unique in the bridal market, we tapped founder Meagan Kurtz for a Q&A. She shares her journey, insights for brides, and how she creates pieces that become cherished heirlooms.

Q: Your pieces are clearly more than accessories—they’re heirlooms in the making. What inspired you to launch ADMK Jewelry?
Meagan Kurtz: I was deep in the corporate advertising world when I became pregnant with my third child. I knew balancing that career pace with my growing family would require a big decision. During my pregnancy, I discovered the art of jewelry making and instantly fell in love. But I didn’t just want to create pieces, I wanted to build a brand with meaning. That’s when ADMK Jewelry was born, blending my creative passion with a desire to make keepsakes you’ll wear for years to come.

Q: Can you describe your design process when creating bridal jewelry that captures such personal and emotional significance?
Meagan Kurtz: The bride’s vision is always at the heart of the process. It begins with an in-depth intake where I listen closely—not just to what she wants, but to the emotions and story behind it. Every detail, from the materials to the finishing touches, is chosen to reflect her personality and the significance of the day. My goal is to ensure each piece feels deeply personal, timeless, and worthy of becoming part of her love story.

Q: You guide brides through every detail—from statement pieces to coordinated sets. What are some common mistakes brides make when choosing their jewelry, and how do you help them avoid those?
Meagan Kurtz: It’s the bride’s day, so my first priority is making her vision come to life—there’s really no “wrong” choice if it feels authentic to her. That said, I do guide brides on style harmony, proportion, and how their jewelry will complement their dress, hair, and overall look. I also love helping with the bridal party—this is where we can play with colors, mix-and-match styles, and create a cohesive yet unique look for each person. It’s about balancing beauty, comfort, and personal expression so every piece feels perfect for the big day.

Q: How do you balance current bridal trends with timeless elegance in your designs?
Meagan Kurtz: I believe a bride’s jewelry should feel just as beautiful on her anniversary as it does on her wedding day. I draw inspiration from current bridal trends, but I weave them into designs with clean lines, classic silhouettes, and high-quality materials—ensuring each piece feels fresh yet timeless.

Q: Tell us about a favorite custom bridal piece you’ve designed. What made it so memorable?
Meagan Kurtz: One of my most cherished projects was designing my daughter’s bridal jewelry, along with the pieces for her bridesmaids. It was such an emotional experience—every gemstone, clasp, and sparkle felt like a little love letter to her. On the wedding day, seeing her walk down the aisle wearing something I created, surrounded by her bridesmaids all in ADMK originals, was pure magic. Hearing their joy and knowing those pieces would forever be part of their memories, made it unforgettable.

Q: What do you think sets ADMK Jewelry apart in the luxury bridal market?
Meagan Kurtz: In the luxury bridal world, jewelry is more than adornment—it’s part of the story. At ADMK Jewelry, I don’t just create pieces; I create keepsakes that hold the emotion of the moment. Being trusted to design something a bride will wear on one of the most important days of her life is an incredible honor, and I approach each commission with the same care, artistry, and personal attention I would give my own family. That level of intimacy and dedication is at the heart of what makes ADMK truly special.

Q: Jewelry often carries meaning far beyond the wedding day. How do you design for longevity, both in quality and emotional value?
Meagan Kurtz: We use the highest quality materials to make our jewelry and try to think of the pieces as a luxury piece they can wear on occasions in the future.

Q: As a founder, what’s been the most surprising part of your journey in building ADMK Jewelry?
Meagan Kurtz: The most surprising part of building ADMK Jewelry has been realizing how much of it happens behind the scenes. For every moment spent designing with sparkle and shine, there are hours of emails, logistics, and business decisions. It’s not all glitter—but that balance is what turns a passion into a lasting brand.

Q: How do you want women to feel when they wear ADMK Jewelry?
Meagan Kurtz: When a woman wears ADMK Jewelry, I want her to feel radiant—confident in her own skin and effortlessly beautiful. My hope is that each piece becomes a quiet source of strength and a reminder that she deserves to shine in every moment.

Q: What advice would you give brides who are just beginning their wedding style journey?
Meagan Kurtz: When beginning your wedding style journey, start by selecting your gown and bridesmaids’ dresses—their colors, fabrics, and silhouettes will set the tone for your entire look. While jewelry is often purchased toward the end, it plays a vital role in pulling everything together. At ADMK Jewelry, we consider every detail—from neckline to hue—ensuring your accessories complement and elevate your overall vision, creating a cohesive, unforgettable style.
