How to Develop Your Custom Engagement Ring Design and End Up with Something You Love

LISA

When you want the engagement ring of your dreams, it can be hard to find a designer who can make your dream a reality. How do you organize your ideas and inspirations? Is your dream ring a juxtaposition of multiple styles? Is the concept of creating something from scratch daunting? That’s where Krikawa comes in! We want to take the time to understand all the nuances that would create your ideal ring, and then create it!  It will be something you’ll love and cherish forever.
 

Custom vs. Customization: Know the Difference

Who are You?

Be an Explorer

We encourage you to explore all types of rings. You may surprise yourself with styles you might have never thought of. Maybe you think you want a sculptural ring shaped like sunflowers, but then realize a vintage-inspired design is more true to you. Maybe you work with your hands and a large halo would be troublesome for you to get work done. Consider a low-profile band that still has that natural element but doesn’t conflict with your hobbies.

Celebrity Ring Knock-off?

An important note is that we DO NOT copy ring designs. A celebrity announced their engagement and you were awestruck by that ring? Use that ring as inspiration, but see how we can turn that inspiration into something special and unique for you! Be your own celebrity! We will make you a ring that will turn heads! You are one of a kind, your ring should be, too!

The Three Custom Ring Methods

There are three types of custom rings at Krikawa: Fully custom, personalize an existing style or create a modified style. 

Fully custom starts with the sketching and design process. 

Did you find a design on our website that is perfect as-is? You can personalize this existing style! We move forward by choosing metal and stones. It’s still custom-made from scratch just for you, in the metal you want and around the stones you choose. We don’t work from molds, and we don’t stock any inventory.

Is there a style you love but want to adjust some details? You can modify any of the styles on our site with the details that you like.  Because we don’t work from molds or existing inventory, the sky is the limit.  You get to work with our design team to make that idea a reality.

Transparency Through and Through

Once that design has been approved, we will send the design to our CAD engineer. We create rings to last! So our engineer will take the approved illustration and create a wax model to insure it is structurally sound. Once tested and approved, our master jewelers start constructing your ring. 

Communication: The Key to Worry-Free Custom Rings

While your ring is being made, our studio coordinators will update you on the progress and when your ring is completed. Ok you’re ring is finished, then what? You can come into the studio to pick up your ring, or we can ship it to you. Because we are a small company, you’ll get to know our staff. You will have complete confidence that you will receive the custom ring of your dreams.
