Proposing Soon?

Is it time? This is where it gets exciting! If you’re ready to pop the question, I’d love to help make that moment unforgettable. In my world, there’s more than one way to do the “ring reveal”—and I’ll help you figure out which one suits you best. When we first meet, we’ll talk through all the essentials: design, materials, budget, and timeline. Then I’ll ask the big questions: Is this a total surprise? Do you know their dream stone or style? Any family gold or gems to re-imagine? And, the ultimate one—do you (miraculously) know their ring size?

Now, let’s talk reality. Custom engagement rings (unless chosen straight from my showcases) are non-returnable. Why? Because I design and source materials *just for you*—one ring at a time. But non-returnable doesn’t mean you’re stuck if it’s not quite right. For an additional cost, I can rework the design, metal, or stones until it’s exactly what they want. Think of it as fine-tuning rather than backtracking.

If the ring’s a surprise, you may not know everything—like size or design preference. That’s where I make it easier. Maybe you design together from the start and it’s perfect. Maybe you present a sterling silver + CZ ‘trial ring’ (with a partial credit toward the real deal if you return the loaner). Maybe you grab a sample ring from my case, propose with that, and we create the forever version together. Or maybe you propose with just a beautiful loose stone—completely exchangeable until it’s set—then come in as a team to design the dream ring.

For the record, I was a #3 & #4. My husband Paul proposed on the beach with a loose oval diamond (with a little help from my best friend, Suzanne). He left the design to me—and I loved it. I made my own engagement in sterling silver & CZ to try it out before making it for real and honestly, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
