How they work

The process starts with your story and turns your vision into a one-of-a-kind piece. You can send a custom request form or book a design consultation. Most custom work is quoted on enquiry. The site also carries guides to diamonds, gemstones and salt-and-pepper diamonds, which help if you are choosing stones for the first time. The studio also offers jewelry care and repair after the wedding, so the rings can stay in good shape for years.

The studio is in New York City. Contact the team through the site to ask about consultations and about ordering from elsewhere. Consultations are a good first step if you are not sure what style you want.
