Can I use my own diamonds?

Can I use my own gold or platinum?

Some jewelers do this, but to recast old gold into new jewelry causes severe quality problems in the new piece. We will recycle your old gold materials by turning them in to our refiner, and give you credit towards your custom jewelry, so in effect we are using your gold or platinum.

How much does it cost?

Custom designed jewelry can cost less than you might expect. Compared to premium jewelers that carry designer names, we are typically half the cost.

Will I be able to see my custom made jewelry before I buy it?

No, We make therefore it is a one-of -a-kind. Be sure before you agree to have it made that you have told us anything you want in your new item.

Do you ever make rings in silver?

No, we don’t cast items in sterling silver, we will use white gold or platinum, which doesn’t tarnish over time.

What metals do you use in my new ring?

80% of our rings are platinum. If you want yellow gold, we urge you to use 18 karat gold. If you want rose gold, we urge you to use 14 karat rose gold to give your ring a pinker hue. That being said, we will make rings in all precious metal including 10, 14, 18 and 22 karat gold as well as platinum.

How long does it take to make my new ring?

Typically, no more than three weeks from the day you pick the center diamond and decide on a style.

What if I don’t like the ring you make for me?

Honestly, that is a rare event for us, but we’ll work something out that allows you to back out of the deal without losing any more than the labor that is already paid. Your satisfaction and rating of our service is all that matters to us. We’ll make adjustments, or even redesign the entire ring to make you happy.

Do I have to pay for the whole ring in advance?

No, we decide together what your comfort level is and you leave a deposit enough to cover the labor of making the ring. Don’t worry, we’re pretty flexible about how much you should leave as a deposit.

How do I begin the process?

Let’s take an engagement ring for example. Come to us with a style idea, a center diamond shape (round, square, etc) and a budget. We show you examples of our work and discuss the details of the mounting and you pick a specific center diamond. Once you approve the center diamond and style, the order is taken.
