ABOUT THE BRAND
Each of our soulful touchstones is forged in the love of multigenerational stories and the courage to blaze our own paths. The pieces capture a moment of suspension, just on the verge of multiple states of being. They are grounded yet ethereal, weighted yet brimming with eye-catching sparkles. They make us feel like that midwinter moment when you turn your face upward and are greeted with a kiss of sunshine. These are your lucky charms, and they’ll be with you as you experience life’s serendipitous delights.
MISSION
We are deeply moved by nature—it is one of the threads of inspiration in all of our designs—and want to do our part to minimize our footprint on this precious planet. We are proud to be one of the only fine jewelry brands using lab-created diamonds when possible, which bring unmatched luster to our pieces without contributing to the many challenges inherent to the mined diamond trade. We also strongly encourage our community to bring family stones to projects with 14A, honoring the effort that has already gone into sourcing them and bringing generations of adventures into our modern touchstones.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
A former honeymoon travel writer, Founder Diana Bufalini launched Fourteen August in 2023 as a way to capture the ethereal nature of exploration — the freedom, adventure, and expansiveness it affords those who are willing to seek it. Much like the waning glow of the mid-August sun, that “summer feeling” can run through our fingertips like a light evening rain, leaving us with only a memory of its sweetness.
As a writer, Diana strived to bring readers along on her sojourns with each written page, trying to capture the unique allure of every single destination. It wasn’t just the magical beaches or sunset sails that inspired her, but the feeling each place evoked.
With Fourteen August, she is once again capturing the magic of those faraway isles, this time with touchstones of beauty and memory — a physical reminder of salty breezes that kiss the cheeks and skies filled with electric stars. Collections like the Sun Goddess, our signature Carousels, and the inimitable Morgan pieces, all strike their own chord with movement, texture, and rich colors.
Diana Lives in Westchester with her husband, two jewelry-loving daughters, and her no less stylish dog, Stori.
