Our 6-Step Process
Schedule Your Appointment
Your journey starts with a private appointment at one of our showrooms in Austin or Dallas. Whether you prefer in-person, video, or even texting, we tailor the experience to your comfort level. We’ll learn about your vision, preferences, timeline, and budget, and answer every question with full transparency.
Step 1
Choose Your Stone
Already have a diamond or gemstone? Great. Want us to find one? We’ll guide you through our curated options based on your specs, budget, and desired size or shape. We only show GIA-certified natural diamonds and GIA or IGI for lab-grown, no fluff, no games. For estate pieces, we’ll walk through condition and potential risks together.
Designing Your Jewlery
We design your piece using advanced CAD software and incorporate all your choices: stone shape, prong style, gallery detail, metal color, side stones, and more. Whether it’s an engagement ring, pendant, bracelet, or heirloom rebuild, we treat every piece like it’s going to someone we love. You’ll review renderings and videos, and revisions are welcome before final approval.
Design Approval
Once your CAD is approved, Kaitlyn (our Custom Project Manager), will walk you through every angle and detail to make sure you’re 100% confident before we begin. If any significant changes are requested after approval that require us to start over on the design, a redesign fee will apply. We’re always happy to make refinements before that point, and we’ll make sure you have everything you need to decide with confidence.
Start Production
Your design is 3D printed or hand-carved in wax and cast in the metal of your choice using our proprietary equipment and trusted local shop. From there, it goes through careful hand-finishing, setting, polishing, and quality control. Each stage is overseen by our team, and nothing leaves until it’s flawless.
Step 5
Delivery
Once your piece passes final QC, we notify you for pickup or insured delivery. If it’s a surprise, we’ll help with the timing, proposal planning, or presentation. Your receipt includes a due date, and if it doesn’t, that’s a great reason to reach out. And yes, we keep full notes on every detail so you don’t have to remember a thing.
