THE 6 STEPS OF YOUR EXCITING RING EXPERIENCE
1. Get In Touch With The Studio
This is the first step towards creating the most beautiful ring you’ll ever see. Fill out the message form on our CONTACT page. Our custom rings start at $10,000 (including the main diamond & custom ring setting). If you already have an heirloom center stone, we can create a custom setting for it.
Vanessa Nicole, Master Diamond Setter and author of the #1 bestselling book ‘The Perfect Custom Engagement Ring,’ will personally work with you one-on-one throughout your entire ring experience.

2. Fill Out The Discovery Questionnaire
After filling out the initial Contact form, we’ll send you a Questionnaire via email to get a better sense of what you’re looking to create.
Our clients come to us either knowing nothing about rings or they’ve searched the internet for months.
Whatever step you’re at, we’re happy to help answer all your questions.
3. Together, We’ll Design Your Custom Ring
We'll start out by showing you design ideas for inspiration based on your desired center stone shape. Then we'll customize it to be one-of-a-kind, exclusively for you.
Or, you may already have a specific design in mind, and want us to re-create it custom to personalize it. Either way works!
4. Select Your Diamond
YOU get to personally select the diamond she’ll wear on her finger for the rest of her life. We don’t stock diamond inventory because we prefer to not feel pressured to only sell what we own. We know exactly where to go to get the best value based on the particular stone shape you want. Some of our diamond sources specialize in Cushions, others specialize in Rounds, etc. We know where to go to get the best diamond value for your budget. Vanessa visits multiple diamond dealers to view dozens of diamonds in order to create a gorgeous selection of 3 stones for you to choose from. (If you’re out-of-town, we do your Diamond Selection in HD video – we’ve NEVER had a client dissatisfied with their choice)
5. CAD Model (Computer Rendering)
Once we’ve discussed the design and you’ve chosen the center stone, your ring will be modeled on the computer to fit the exact measurements of your diamond. You’ll be sent a computer rendering via email to approve. This will allow you to see your ring from all angles before it’s actually created in precious metal.
At this point, you can make any adjustments to the ring or, if it’s perfect, you can simply say, “Green Light!” for it to move on to the next step.

6. Your Gorgeous Engagement Ring Is Complete!
The ring creation process takes between 4-6 weeks from when you select your Diamond, and you’ll receive weekly updates on your ring’s progress. (Let us know if you need to RUSH your order.) It will be expertly crafted using our proprietary diamond setting technique, which maximizes the brilliance of each diamond – this is why our clients say their ring sparkles more than their friends’ rings.
Once it’s finished, you may either pick up your ring at the studio if you’re in San Diego, or we can ship it complimentary fully insured via FedEx to your home or office. If necessary, it can be resized within 1 year after the proposal at no extra charge.
“Working with Vanessa changed my whole engagement ring experience”
I spent months looking for the perfect engagement ring. I went to a number of jewelers, and simply wasn’t having a good experience. I felt these old men were just trying to sell me something – anything. Working with Vanessa changed my whole engagement experience. I cannot say enough about her and her work! Very professional, but yet extremely laid back. Her customer service is TOP NOTCH.
At first, I was intimidated at the thought of designing my own engagement ring. But looking back, I can’t imagine it any other way. What better way to say I love you than thinking deep-down and coming up with a ring design that is one-of-a-kind, just for her? The process was very transparent and there were no surprises. Vanessa was upfront and honest about everything, including pricing. We were in constant communication and I knew exactly what was going on the entire time. I could not be happier with the finished product; excellent quality and truly amazing!! My fiancé receives constant compliments and doesn’t hesitate to tell the story of how the ring is just for her. I highly recommend Vanessa Nicole Jewels to create your engagement ring.
