Client Re-Design Story.....

The Beginning...

Our client approached us with a family heirloom - her grandmother's antique engagement ring, which had been cut off and attached to a pendant.

Lets just say, it was in dire need of a makeover... here's how it unfolded.

The Middle...

To ensure utmost precision, we meticulously removed & examined the emerald and baguette diamonds, verifying their authenticity. Moreover, we played with the stone arrangement by introducing additional diamonds in the corners.

The End.

The ultimate culmination was an exquisite modern heirloom ring that will be treasured for generations to come.

HOW WE WORK...

A quick overview of some of the steps involved in our custom design process.... Delve into the realm of luxury craftsmanship as we unveil the steps behind creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece tailored just for you.

1. Initial Consultation

We start with a conversation that will ignite your imagination and help us all gain insight about your tastes.

Bring photos, snapshots, napkin drawings or nothing at all. No matter your starting point, this step is designed to ensure inspiration strikes.

2. Loose Stones

Bespoke custom design begins with loose diamonds & gemstones. We offer a carefully curated selection of loose diamonds and gemstones to choose from, allowing you to select a stone that is uniquely theirs.

3. CAD Renderings

This is when you'll see what happens behind the scenes. We'll prepare a digital rendering of your design and use 3D printing to create a model of your piece, you can actually try on.

Next we cast the model in the metal you've selected, set any diamonds or gemstones and prepare it for the final step in our process.
