Let’s be honest — when you picture your dream ring, you probably see the sparkle first. But behind every custom ring is a story, and the process of creating it is just as meaningful as the “yes” moment itself. So how does a ring actually go from an idea to the one you’ll wear forever?
Here’s what the journey looks like.
Step 1: Discover Your Diamond
The diamond is the heart of your ring, so that’s where we begin.
Whether you’re looking for a classic diamond shape like a round, cushion, emerald, or oval, or something more unique like an old mine, pear step cut, or crisscut, our digital diamond studio makes it easy to explore your options. Compare diamonds side by side, see transparent pricing in an instant, and find the one that fits your priorities and budget.
And if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, send us the diamonds you love from the Studio or share some inspiration with us directly. We’ll use that as a starting point to help you find the perfect diamond for you.
Step 2: Select Your Setting
All of our rings are made custom. Our Digital Setting Studio is meant to be a place of inspiration, where you can explore a variety of designs.
Our team of experts will help guide you through the process and make sure the setting you choose is the right fit for your diamond. But don’t feel limited to the designs you see in the Studio. If you come across something you love, you can send us your inspiration and we can design your custom ring around it.
The goal is simple: to help you understand your options and find a direction you love before we begin making your ring.
Step 3: From Idea to Reality: CAD design → Silver sample (Optional)
Here’s where the magic begins.
Here’s where the magic begins.
- CAD Design: We create a detailed digital model of your ring to make sure the proportions, angles, and overall design are just right.
- Silver Sample: Before we move to precious metal, we can create a silver version of your ring so you can try it on and see how the design looks and feels in real life. This is an optional step and adds approximately 2 to 3 weeks to the process.
Step 4: Refine the Details
Once you’ve tried the silver sample, we fine-tune. Maybe the band needs to be slimmer, the prongs lower, or the setting slightly adjusted. These little tweaks ensure the final ring feels perfect on your hand.
Step 5: The Forever Moment
Finally — your ring is complete. Polished, sparkling, and ready for the next chapter of your story. What started as an idea is now something you’ll carry with you for a lifetime.
A few quick notes:
- Timeline: ~ 4-6 weeks once the center diamond is finalized. 6 - 8 weeks if we make a silver sample
- Budget Clarity: Once your CAD design is finalized, you’ll have an accurate total estimate with no surprises. Our Digital Diamond Studio also provides transparent diamond pricing, making it easy to compare options and stay within your budget.
- Care: We’ll send you home with care tips & we are one text away if you need some help with cleaning tips to keep it sparkling.
