Lexington, KY - August 12, 2025 - Qwoted Newswire - Faithful Platform, the Lexington-based online engagement ring company redefining how couples shop for jewelry, has officially earned a spot on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list, ranking No. 1,948 among the fastest-growing private companies in America. The company also placed No. 10 in Kentucky, No. 4 in Lexington, and No. 51 nationally in the retail category.
Founded by third-generation jeweler Austin Willard, Faithful Platform has gained national traction by combining the affordability of an online retailer with the highly personalized experience of a concierge jeweler. The company is known for educating and empowering couples to make informed decisions during one of life’s most meaningful, but often stressful purchases – the engagement ring. “Being named to the Inc. 5000 is an incredible honor,” said Willard. “It’s a testament to the thousands of couples who have trusted us to be part of their engagement stories — and to our hard-working team behind the scenes who make that experience unforgettable every time. Now that we’ve made the list, we’re making it our goal to come in at the top, next.”
This marks Faithful Platform’s first appearance on the Inc. 5000, a prestigious list that has previously spotlighted breakout companies like Zappos, Patagonia, and Under Armour.
