WANT VANESSA TO CREATE THE RING OF HER DREAMS?
Diamond Engagement Rings Created By Vanessa Nicole
Why Choose A Custom Engagement Ring?
1. It shows you put thought into it.
She has been waiting for this moment her entire life. She wants to know that you put the time and effort into finding something special just for her.
2. It's a reflection of your love story.
Every detail of the ring was created with her in mind.
3. Quality and Craftsmanship.
A good master diamond setter will take the time to obsess over details that are often overlooked in mass-produced engagement ring stores.
If you want the best engagement ring in terms of quality, craftsmanship, and style; custom is the best way to go.
This is a piece of jewelry that she will be wearing every day of her life. It's going to be an extension of her.
It has to be comfortable, durable, easy to wear and not get in the way. It needs to look seamless and flawless.

The Custom Design Process: How It Works
Watch Vanessa's process, every detail of creating the PERFECT ring. This is what "unmatched craftsmanship" looks like.
Step 1: Fill Out A Questionnaire
This will give Vanessa an idea of what you want to create. Some clients know exactly what they want, others have a rough idea or know specific elements they want, like the diamond or stone shape or style of ring.
Step 2: Work with Vanessa To Create A Custom Design
Vanessa will show you some design ideas to get an idea of what she might like. From there, she'll work with you to customize it to create a one-of-a-kind design. Or, we can recreate a design you already have in mind and personalize it.
Step 3: Select Your Diamond
Vanessa goes to work on sourcing the PERFECT diamond.
We don't stock diamonds, which is great for you. We won't push you into what we already have in inventory. Vanessa knows where to find the best loose diamonds and works with multiple dealers to get the best value and quality for your budget.
She sources both natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds.She'll narrow it down and present you with her best finds for you can select the most brilliant diamond she'll wear for the rest of her life.
If your ring has diamonds or gemstones that surround the center stone in the setting, she selects diamonds that match the color grade and size in proportion to the main diamond. When you purchase an off-the-shelf ring from a jewelry store, settings are often mass-produced, and the center stone is added later. Often, they aren't quite proportional in a way that really shows off the center stone.

Step 4: Design a CAD Rendering
Vanessa designs your ring in a CAD (computer design) rendering based on the exact measurements of your center stone and ring proportions. You'll be able to see your ring from every angle and make any changes.
Step 5: Vanessa Creates Your Dream Ring
Vanessa gets to work on constructing the ring, creating a wax model for the setting, and ensuring every detail is perfect.
Finally, you can pick up the ring of your dreams at our downtown San Diego studio or have it shipped to you anywhere in the world insured via FedEx.

How Vanessa Nicole Jewels is different from jewelry stores
1. A Making of the Ring™ DVD service is available for with every engagement ring, which documents the entire process of creating her custom, one-of-a-kind engagement ring up close, in high definition.
2. Vanessa is an international diamond setting consultant who teaches jewelers around the world how to create a unique engagement ring from scratch. She apprenticed with a third-generation Russian master jeweler to become an expert diamond setter specializing in micro pavé.
3. Each ring is 100% custom. You're not choosing from pre-manufactured settings and placing a diamond in it. Every aspect of the setting, including the selection of each diamond in the setting, on the band, is proportional to the center stone and matches the color perfectly. The prongs are angled and polished to accent the diamond's facets. Every detail is obsessed over.

Danny's Story
When I felt it was time to start searching for rings, I did the usual rounds with my mom, of course. We visited Tiffany, DeBeers, Cartier and several high end stores. Many of them had gorgeous rings, but they were either far over priced, or not “exactly” what I wanted. A friend of mine had suggested contacting Vanessa so I called and made an appointment. Just from our first phone call I knew that I was going to get the ring from her. Vanessa made me feel so comfortable. I provided her with my idea of the perfect ring, and she told me she’d have several stones and designs to choose from when I arrived.
When I arrived she took her time, explaining each diamond and what the creation process entailed. We spent hours with her, and she gave us her undivided attention throughout the entire process. When I finally chose the diamond, it was time to build the ring. as the process unfolded, I realized that I was creating my own unique vision, my own dream, rather than buying someone else’s, and that alone was priceless.
Another huge thing to point out was that I was in a huge rush. My “now finance” lived abroad, yet Vanessa was still willing to take the challenge and create the ring in time. All in all, Vanessa created the perfect ring, it is absolutely stunning. her craftsmanship, etiquette, patience, flexibility and natural warmth made buying the ring such a joyous process. Vanessa poured everything she had into making our ring and until this day, my fiance is always asked where this perfect ring comes from.
