Bespoke is…
Art Without Limits
When you control the design, there is no settling for anything less than perfection. The possibilities are only as endless as your imagination.
One-of-a-Kind, Not One-of-Many
Add a special element to your design, no matter how simple, to ensure it is uniquely yours. Your love is one-of-a-kind, and your ring should be too.
A Joyful Journey
We're excited to help our clients build beautiful jewelry, one step at a time. Request as many modifications as you would like or multiple styles. We are here to help!
Thoughtful Luxury
You don’t want a mass-produced, cheap setting. You have high standards, and so do we. Your thoughtfulness and passion should yield a more meaningful and special experience than is available via traditional ecommerce. That's why we strive to make our love worthy of your love.

How It Works
Our virtual design experience allows our clients to receive the private jeweler experience anywhere in the world with the convenience and flexibility of online communication. In fact, most of our clients engage with us entirely over email!
Most clients begin with one of our core designs and request modifications to make it uniquely their own. You can also send us a photo of a ring you’d like to emulate. Our design team will take your requests and make your dream ring come to life!
Custom design follows two basic steps: computer aided design (CAD) and photorealistic renderings.
CAD will show overly thick metal and extra long prongs (the prongs do not stay that long; they are eventually cut and hand-bent over the diamond). This 3D print file is used to create a mold and casting for your ring and must start heavy to ensure a smooth finish on your ring during hand polish. You may make as many modifications to the design as you’d like. Most clients are in and out of CAD in 3-7 days; however some clients choose to make several iterations. Your Concierge will inform you if a design element you are requesting is ill-advised.
Once we begin to finalize the design, the next step is photorealistic renderings. Photorealistic renderings are 2D representations of your ring, like the kind you see all over our website. These renderings take several hours or even days to produce, so are utilized at the end of the process. Renderings are designed to show how your ring will look once it is finished, however they are still approximate and cannot fully show hand-finished elements. Your renderings will show the dimensions of your diamond in your setting (they are not stock renderings).
In some cases, we will use the actual image of your diamond to best represent how you should expect your ring to look.

Metals
For white metal pieces, we strongly recommend platinum. All of our platinum is 95/5 blend. White gold is not naturally white and requires a rhodium plating that wears off over time.
The difference between 14k and 18k gold is the percentage of gold in the blend. 18k yellow and rose gold will have a higher yellow saturation.
Most pieces can be made in a two-tone, multi-metal style.
We do not offer titanium or palladium.
Sizes
Solitaire shanks are available in widths of 1.8-2.5mm, with widths of 1.8, 1.9, and 2.0mm being the most popular. While super thin rings look great in photos, they may require high depths which can be uncomfortable, typically do not last overtime, and are not suitable for daily wear. Your Concierge will be happy to recommend band and diamond sizes based on the style you have chosen.
Pavé engagement rings are available in 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4mm sizes. A 1.6mm pavé band will be approximately 1.8mm in total width.
We can make any ring in any quarter size (5, 5.25, 5.5, etc). Most solitaire styles can be re-sized 1 full size up or down. Most pavé, three stone, and hand engraved styles can only be re-sized 1/2 size up or down. Some styles cannot be re-sized at all.
Overwhelmed? Consider a Proposal Setting
If you have no idea what style your partner would prefer, consider a Proposal Setting. Propose with a beautiful, custom-made solitaire then return and design her dream ring together as a team. You’ll receive full credit for your original solitaire toward the purchase of a new setting with no re-setting fee.
