Yes — and we make it personal. Every ring we create is made from scratch, we don't use any pre-fabricated parts, all custom made for your diamond and in your size. Your love story is unique, and our white-glove custom design process brings it to life:

  • Direct sourcing from Siteholders and manufacturers
