Either you have your own stone, or you have already selected one with us and you are ready to have it set! (If not, start here)
Three ways you can go about this:
1) Email us some pictures of what you have in mind, any helpful details, metal, finger size, etc.
2) Browse our extensive collection of settings. You can send us the link(s) to what you like and can either have it as is or modify whatever you desire OR combine multiple styles into one!

After that, Jonathan uses a high-tech CAD software program called the Matrix to design your ring. Depending on how simple or intricate the ring is, the design can take as quickly as one day or as long as a week to finish. Once it is done, we will email you a 3D rendering which is spot on as to what you can expect in person. Examples here. If you want to see what it will look like in two-tone, rose, white, etc., just ask us and we will show you different variations of the same ring with the exact proportions of your center stone and finger size. Sometimes we nail it on the first go around, sometimes a client wants to make alterations. That is fine and it won't cost you extra to alter details, we just ask for super clear communication for time efficiency.
In the case you feel that it is hard to communicate what you want in the ring's design via email/photos, we have had great success with live video calls in which Jonathan will share his screen with you, designing the ring as you speak to him. If you would like to do this, simply ask! We are here to serve you in whatever works best for you.
After the design is confirmed, you do have the option to have us mail you a wax model. This can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks. Most people skip this step, but it is an option for anyone who needs the extra peace of mind.
