HOW IT WORKS

  • 1. Start the conversation

    Tell us what you have in mind with the form below, or stop by one of our stores. Our team will be in touch within 1–2 business days.

  • 2. Design it together

    Every design starts with a sketch or CAD. Your first draft is typically ready in 1–2 weeks, with up to 3 complimentary revisions until it feels like yours.

    A $200 design deposit gets you started and is deducted from your final piece. You'll receive a formal estimate once your design is final.

  • 3. Choose your stone

    Natural or lab-grown diamonds, a gemstone that means something to you, or stones you already have, reset into something new. Our gemologists source stones through trusted vendors around the world.

    You can also trade in old gold for credit toward your piece. Every diamond comes with a certificate and a complimentary appraisal.

  • 4. Handcrafted by us

    Before production, we can print a hard wax prototype so you can see the exact size and shape. Then your piece is crafted in California by our team of expert jewelers, typically in 2–4 weeks.

EVERY PIECE STARTS WITH A SKETCH

MADE BY MASTER JEWELERS

Every custom piece is overseen by Justin, who leads our gemology and custom production, and made by our bench team, led by Ruben, our master jeweler. A third-generation jeweler, Ruben learned the craft from his father at 13 and has over 50 years at the bench.

Our gemologists work with vendors around the world to find the right stone for every piece.

FAQs

  • That's where most of our clients start. Bring a photo, a piece you love, stones or old gold you already have, or just a feeling, and we'll help you shape it into a design that's yours.

  • Custom is more accessible than most people think. Projects start at $1,500, and every design is priced individually based on gold weight, stones and complexity. A $200 design deposit gets you started and is deducted from your final piece.

  • Your first draft is typically ready in 1–2 weeks, and production takes 2–4 weeks once your design is final. Working toward a date? Ask us about rush options, available for an additional fee.

  • No. We can work with you in one of our stores, over a video or phone call, or even by email.

  • Of course. Every custom piece includes one complimentary resize within the first year, plus complimentary cleanings for life, so the fit can be perfected after the big moment.
