Last year NPR told the story of two combat veterans who opened a jewelry company called Wove, which allows couples to design a ring and then check out a 3D-printed replica before spending thousands on a real diamond.
Co-founder Andrew Wolgemuth says business had been good. A deal with military commissary stores put Wove on bases worldwide. Then last year an investor connected Wove with golfer Michelle Wie West to design some jewelry, including a line that donated profits to wildfire relief in Hawaii, where she grew up. Then came the next connection.
