Design Your Own Engagement Ring

Simple steps to getting a stunning, custom engagement ring

Instead of buying a mass-produced ring from the mall, why not design your own engagement ring?

Custom engagement rings are the perfect way to give your girl the ring of her dreams and make the “Yes!” moment even bigger. And by working with a skilled designer like Vanessa Nicole, it’s easy to design your own engagement ring any way you want.

Whether you’re looking for something spectacularly glitzy or subdued and elegant, there’s almost no limit to the possibilities.

Why Design Your Own Engagement Ring?

It’s one of a kind

Your love for your partner is one of a kind, so shouldn’t the symbol of your love be just as unique?

Most store-bought jewelry is made overseas

Most jewelry found in the U.S. is mass-produced in other countries to keep labor costs as low as possible.

This results in lower-quality engagement rings and styles that have been copied thousands of times. Imagine how many women own the same exact ring!

Go the extra mile

When you design your own engagement ring, you put more thought and effort into giving your girl the ring she’s been dreaming about. It shows that you truly care and went out of your way to give a ring that is truly special.

How To Design Your Own Engagement Ring

At Vanessa Nicole Jewels, we make it easy to create a custom-made engagement ring – even if you’re not yet sure what it should look like.

In fact, it’s so easy that many of our clients do it by phone and email from around the world if they can’t make it to Vanessa’s design studio in San Diego.

All it takes is one phone call (or email) to get started. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Discuss some of your options

When you call us, we’ll set up an appointment to talk about ideas, go over some options and discuss the process. The appointment is usually only 45-60 minutes.

Step 2: Fill out our “Dream Ring Questionnaire”

This is your opportunity to explain what you’re looking for and how you want the ring to be designed. (Don’t worry if you’re still not sure – we’ll help!)

Step 3: Design a custom setting

If you’re unsure, we’ll provide several images that you can use as inspiration. Vanessa can also help determine the best design based on your girlfriend’s taste and lifestyle.

Step 4: Select your diamond

Vanessa will handpick several diamonds from multiple dealers, so you have a gorgeous selection to choose from.

Step 5: Review our computer rendering of your ring

This is where your ring starts to come to life! You’ll get a computer rendering (CAD model) of your ring, so you can see what it will look like (from all angles) before it’s made. You can also make further adjustments at this step.

Step 6: Your ring is done!

Once you’ve given the final approval, your ring will be created. In just a few weeks, you’ll have a beautiful custom engagement ring to give to your partner – designed exactly to your wishes! (Related) Contact Vanessa today to discuss your dream ring!
