Stephen Chen

Stephen Chen is the founder of FoundryCut, a US men's ring brand built for how men actually live and work. He runs the whole operation and publishes original research on what men really pay for wedding bands, including FoundryCut's Men's Wedding Band Statistics report. His specialty: cutting through jewelry-industry markup myths with hard numbers, like why a gold band's price is mostly metal while a modern band's is mostly craftsmanship. Stephen speaks on men's ring and wedding trends, ring metals and pricing, rings for hands-on professions, wedding budgets, and bootstrapped DTC e-commerce. The thesis behind everything he builds: ring shopping, made simple.
