About Us

Hi, I’m Amber — a creative artist, lifelong cozy-hobby enthusiast, and someone who could happily spend hours placing tiny sparkling drills one by one. Diamond painting has always been one of my favorite ways to unwind and add a little magic to everyday life, and together with my partner Lukas, I created Pressed + Placed to bring that same feeling to others. After many years of building a life together, we decided to build something we both believe in — a brand rooted in creativity, care, and the things that bring people joy.

Our vision is simple: to fill the diamond painting world with unique, delightful artwork from independent artists, paired with top-tier quality that makes every kit feel special. We’re building a space where creativity, comfort, and charm live together, and where each design feels like its own little escape.

As this studio grows, your voice matters deeply. We value feedback from the diamond painting community more than anything, and we’re always listening. Your experiences help shape what we create next — from sizing, to quality, to themes you want to see more of — so we can build something wonderful together.

Thank you for being here at the start of this journey. We can’t wait to bring more art, more sparkle, and more cozy moments your way.

Our Mission

To build a transparent, artist-first diamond art brand that delivers high-quality kits while empowering creativity, connection, and mental well-being.

Our Core Values

  • Transparency & running a good business — honest sourcing, fair pricing, and clear communication in every decision we make.
  • Community participation — showing up for the diamond painting community and creating space for crafters to connect, share, and inspire one another.
  • Supporting artists — licensing original work, crediting creators, and championing the independent artists whose imaginations bring our kits to life.
  • Mental health — honoring diamond painting as a calming, restorative practice and supporting the well-being of our community in everything we do.
