The Rules of Engagement

 


Looking to build your very own ring?

We would be honored to bring your vision together! We are happy to assist in finding the diamond or gemstone from our collection (even search one for you if we don't have your dream stone).

We are equally delighted to create a bespoke design using your own diamond/gemstone.

Like one of our existing designs? Great! We can make you your own, but with the added bonus of customizing some of the design details (ie. metal, shanks width and style, overall height, etc).

If you have your own design you would like for us to execute, we are happy to discuss it during the initial design meeting (this may be done via Zoom or in person). At said meeting, Grace would go in depth about the design being considered, offering both her thoughts on its execution and/or offer up some adjustments. In cases where we feel we cannot execute the design faithfully and flawlessly, we will advise accordingly and bow out of the project.

After a design is finalized, a 4 -view CAD rendering will be presented to you. These renderings will take into account your stone's exact measurements and your finger size. At this point, we invite you to critique the design carefully and offer any changes you would like to see - adjust prong width, stone height, gallery design, etc. Now is the time to speak up and let us know what you would like to see (or remove from the design). We can review and edit the renderings as many times as you need till we hit it 100%!

Once you approve the CAD rendering, your ring should be ready for pick/up shipping within- 4-5 weeks.

Questions?

How long does the custom process take?

This depends! Lead time can be anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the nature of the piece desired and the caliber of work it might require. Once we finalize the CAD process, it should be fairly quick from that point on!

Can we use our own stone to create a piece of jewelry with you?

Absolutely! We love re-setting your heirloom stones. Let us know what it is that you have (to the best of your ability) and we can discuss options as to how we should set them.

Is there a spending minimum for custom designs?

Not at all. From a petite diamond solitaire band to a 10ct diamond ring - we love to work on all of it.

What should we expect from the custom process?

First, we will have a preliminary meeting with Grace to discuss design options, diamond sourcing, metal and size. Once we hone in on something that you love, we will have our jewelers create a 3D CAD rendering of the piece - at which point you are able to make any adjustments. This includes raising/lowering stones, changing from prongs to bezels, adding/removing details along the basket, etc. Once we land on the final design, we are able to go into casting and production - altogether, this process lasts between 4-7 weeks.

Can we make a custom piece with you even if we don't live in LA?

Of course! Please reach out via email, give us a call, or book a zoom meeting. No matter where you are based, we can most definitely work on creating something together.

How many CAD renderings are allowed after the initial one is created?

Technically, you have unlimited chances to adjust the CAD rendering. That being said, we're usually able to nail it down by the third or fourth rendering.

Do you guys work with lab grown diamonds?

While we do not source or sell lab grown diamonds, we are certainly happy to set them for you! We just ask that you source and bring us the stone, as these guys are not our specialty.

Do you guys work with modern diamonds?

Certainly! Although the antique cuts are more our specialty, we often come across modern cut diamonds which are just as charming and beautiful as their older counterparts.
