The Custom Ring Journey
I love creating rings from scratch that are completely unique to the person who will be wearing them. This is a piece you’ll wear forever, so it has to be an uncompromising reflection of your love.
The most important part of the process? Enjoying it! Designing and creating the perfect custom ring takes time. Once we start, we can’t stop—much like love. The whole process usually takes about 6-10 weeks.
Let’s dive in and create something amazing!
1. Consultation
Tell me your story! The first step in creating a custom engagement or wedding ring is getting to know the person who’s going to wear it. What is it you want this piece of jewellery to celebrate and say about your love? We’ll explore everything together in a one-on-one consultation—your favourite gemstones, memories, and themes, as well as the budget, the metals you want to use, and the particular gemstone and shape you have in mind. And most importantly, we’ll make sure we have the perfect ring size!
2. Design
Now it’s my turn! This is where I truly shine—bringing your vision to life with creativity and precision. I will create up to three unique, one-of-a-kind design options for a ring based on everything you’ve shared with me. From here, we can discuss potential changes you’d like to see and decide on the final design, including gemstones, metals, and every fine detail. I won’t move forward with the materials until you’re absolutely happy with the design, ensuring it’s everything you’ve dreamed of and more.
3. Creation
Time to dive into the creative process! For simpler or more organic designs, I cherish the opportunity to hand-fabricate your jewellery from raw materials using traditional goldsmithing techniques.
For more intricate designs, I utilize CAD (computer-aided design) to craft a precise 3D rendering of your piece, which is then cast to bring the design to life. This approach allows for detailed and complex elements to be seamlessly incorporated.
Regardless of the method, each piece is finished with care—sanding, filing, polishing, and setting gemstones to perfection.
Throughout the process, I keep you in the loop with sneak peek photos and updates so you can follow along as your one-of-a-kind piece takes shape. Once it’s complete, you’ll receive a final notification, and your treasure will be ready for shipping or pickup. Get ready to pop the question, or simply bask in the excitement of wearing your new favourite piece!
