Placing Your Order

Order Online for Priority Service

What's priority service? Your special order is handled by a single design consultant who will review your details and connect with you immediately. They'll put the order through our workshop and carefully watch over it to make sure it gets made perfectly. Priority service can take a week or two off of the turnaround time of your ring!

Concierge Design Service

If you don't see exactly what you want in our portfolio, create your dream ring with the help of our designers and stone experts, led by the design talent of Lisa Krikawa.

Request a Colorization

Do you love a design from our portfolio but just need a little more help visualizing it in the colors you love? Request a colorization to see just what it will look like with your colors! Colorizations can help you choose the perfect metal, accent stone and center stone. Because your ring will be made to order, you can pick your favorite!

Mock-ups and Sketches

Get a sketch or mock-up for a design you are dreaming about! Your designer will email you sketches and mock-ups for brand new designs.

Pick Your Metal

Choose your metal type! Because each ring is made to order in a single batch process, it can be made in any precious metal of your choice. Your designer can help you choose the metal if you want to learn more about their properties.

We offer you a variety of precious metals, such as platinum, palladium, yellow gold and rose gold. Can't decide on a color? Go with a two-tone metal design, or incorporate gemstones graduating in color.
