The Process

Creating a custom engagement ring is a unique and personal journey that involves several steps, each critical to ensuring the final piece is as envisioned. Here’s a general breakdown of the process to guide you:

1. Inspiration Gathering

• Start by collecting images, sketches, or any references that inspire you. Consider the style, type of metal, and type of stones.

• Why it matters: This step helps clarify your vision and serves as a valuable reference point for discussions with us.

2. Budget Setting

• Decide on a budget for the engagement ring. This will guide the choices of materials and complexity of the design.

• Why it matters: Having a clear budget allows the us to suggest the best, most suitable and realistic options to ensure the design process is efficient and expectations are met.

3. Consultation

• Book a consultation with us to discuss your vision, budget, and any inspirations you’ve gathered.

6. Approval and Production
