Custom Engagement Rings in Dayton, Ohio
Expert guidance for your collaborative design journey awaits at Lisa Robin.
The Lisa Robin Custom Engagement Ring Process
Step #1
Book a Design Consultation
Your journey begins with a private design consultation, either in person at our Dayton, Ohio studio or virtually via Zoom. Whether you’re designing from home or visiting us in person, creating custom engagement rings online allows you to collaborate closely with Lisa while enjoying a flexible, guided experience.
What Happens During the Design Consultation?
During your consultation, we explore:
- Your personal style and aesthetic preferences
- Inspiration images or reference designs
- Diamond shapes, proportions, and setting styles
- Lifestyle considerations that affect wearability and longevity
Lisa may sketch concepts during your conversation to help visualize ideas and bring clarity to the design direction.
Step #2
Determine Your Budget
Every custom engagement ring begins with an honest budget conversation. Your budget helps guide diamond size, metal choice, and design details, allowing us to create the most beautiful ring possible within your comfort zone.
Step#3
Diamond and Gemstone Selection
Once the design direction is established, Lisa conducts a targeted search within our extensive online diamond inventory to identify options that align with your priorities for shape, size, and overall aesthetic. We work with both natural and lab-grown diamonds, and can guide you through the differences so you choose the option that best fits your values, budget, and design goals.
Rather than overwhelming you with endless choices, we narrow the field to a thoughtfully curated selection and review each option together, explaining the differences clearly so you can make an informed, confident decision. Sapphires, morganite, moissanite, and other gemstones are also available, and heirloom diamonds or gemstones can be incorporated into your custom design as well.
Step#4
Find the Right Ring Size
Before production begins, we determine the correct ring size—either in studio or by sending you a finger sizer—to ensure comfort and accuracy.
Step#5
CAD Designs and Renderings
Your design is translated into detailed CAD renderings, providing a three-dimensional preview of your ring. Proportions, details, and structure are refined at this stage, with revisions made until the design feels exactly right.

Step # 6
Engagement Ring Crafting
Once approved, your ring is crafted using traditional bench-jewelry techniques combined with modern precision. This includes wax creation, casting in your chosen metal, hand-setting of diamonds, and meticulous finishing under the guidance of our master jeweler.
Most custom engagement rings are completed within 3–4 weeks of final design approval. When ready, your ring can be picked up from our studio or express shipped directly to you.
