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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 6

Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Design

How long does the custom design process take?
Typically, a custom piece takes between 3 to 4 weeks from the moment we finalize your design. This includes the high-resolution 3D rendering, the casting of the precious metal, and the hand-setting of your stones by our master jewelers in our Austin or Dallas suites.
Can I use a diamond I already own in a custom setting?
Absolutely. We often work with heirloom stones or diamonds passed down through generations. Our designers will carefully inspect your stone to ensure its integrity before crafting a modern, private-label setting that honors its history while reflecting your personal style.
Do I need to be an expert to design a ring?
Not at all. Our process is built on education, not pressure. You’ll work one-on-one with a personal consultant who will guide you through the “Four Cs” and the technical aspects of jewelry construction. We use CAD (Computer-Aided Design) technology to show you exactly what your piece will look like before it is ever cast in metal.
Is custom design more expensive than buying a "ready-to-wear" ring?
Actually, it is often more cost-effective. Because we operate as a private, appointment-only jeweler, we don’t have the massive overhead of a traditional retail store. This allows us to put more of your budget directly into the quality of the diamond and the craftsmanship of the gold or platinum.
Will my custom piece come with a grading report?
Yes. Every center stone we source for custom designs is certified by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America). You will receive the original grading report with your finished piece, ensuring your investment is documented and protected.
