About Our Crafting Process

We make choosing fine jewelry a straightforward and luxurious experience. With our unparalleled, personalized service, we’ll provide as much guidance as you need with our beautiful curated designs, with the convenience of online shopping. Our pieces are carefully handcrafted to last a lifetime, always in ethical & sustainable materials.

Our engagement rings, wedding rings, and custom designs are handcrafted using the best quality materials and artisanal methods that are non-toxic and with low energy requirements. The crafting process begins with either a design consultation or your online order.

Step #1

Book a Consultation

The first step is to book a private consultation, which takes place in-person at our studio in Dayton, Ohio or via Zoom. No matter how we meet, the design process is the same, and offered with expert guidance and personalized attention.

What happens during the Design Consultation?

During your custom engagement ring design consultation, we’ll start by defining your style and narrowing your preferences. We’ll pull up pictures of rings, discuss what you like (and don’t like), and talk a bit about your lifestyle (if you’re always in garden, for example, or an avid surfer, there are some details to consider in terms of how high the ring sits on your finger and the durability of the metal you choose). We may sketch a few concepts as we move along. We’ll advise on diamonds and gemstones, and metals, and together we’ll land a design concept that ticks all the boxes.

We appreciate that every client has a unique budget, and we strive to find the best options for you within your budget. Discover how to set a personalized budget for your ring.
