Design Your Own

Our Process

Our master craftsman jewelers take pride in creating iconic, unique, and unforgettable pieces that stand the test of time.

1

Getting to know you

Before we show you a single diamond or band, we want to get to know you. We want to know what you’re imagining in your perfect ring. If you’re not sure, that’s OK! We’re always here to help.

2

Starting the process

We’ll begin with a discussion of your vision and will start to sketch out ideas for the design. We can also use computer design tools to help you visualize what the finished ring may look like.

3

Choosing the perfect diamond

Next, we’ll help you find the perfect diamond for your custom ring. We’ll talk about the 4 C’s of diamonds (clarity, cut, color, and carat) and answer any questions you might have. Then we’ll show you a variety of diamonds and help you choose the right one for your custom ring design.

4

Designing the setting

Our next step is designing a setting that will complement and enhance the diamond (or diamonds) you selected.

5

Crafting the ring

Finally, our jewelers will painstakingly craft your custom ring using the design elements you selected. Whether you envision a vintage or designer look or something more non-traditional, the end result will be a ring that’s truly one-of-a-kind.
