Artifex Fine by Kindred Lubeck introduced its Artifex Bride collection during NYC Bridal Week on April 9, marking the brand’s entry into the bridal segment.
The debut capsule includes seven engagement rings and five bridal pieces. The collection is built around antique-cut natural diamonds, selected from hundreds of stones with warm tones. The designs focus on old mine cushion cuts and other antique faceting styles.
The launch represents a shift for the brand, which has historically focused on one-of-a-kind pieces and limited commissions of approximately ten per year. The new collection aims to provide broader access to Artifex designs without requiring custom orders or waitlists.
The engagement rings are available as ready-to-ship products, while the five bridal pieces — including an engraved tennis bracelet and hoop earrings — will be produced on a made-to-order basis in limited quantities.
According to the company, the collection was developed over several months, with emphasis on stone selection and handcrafted techniques aligned with the brand’s goldsmithing background. Design references draw from European influences, particularly Italy and France.
Artifex retains a limited-drop model, with plans to release bridal collections on a quarterly basis. The brand continues to operate independently, maintaining full ownership and control over product development and distribution strategy.
