Your engagement ring is more than just a fine piece of jewelry; it is a symbol of your unique love story, your and your partner’s commitment to each other, and a unique expression of your relationship. When it comes to such a significant symbol, why settle for anything less than perfection? By customizing your engagement ring, we can tailor every aspect of your ring to your preferences and wishes. Let’s dive into the three fun and easy steps involved in creating your dream engagement ring or any other piece of jewelry at The Diamond Guys.

The journey begins with ideation, where your imagination takes flight. Whether you’re looking to customize your engagement ring or any piece of jewelry, the first step we take at The Diamond Guys is to understand and clarify your vision. This process might include creating and reviewing sketches and samples, exploring photos, and then creating hand-drawn or computer sketches. Whether you’re starting from scratch, drawing inspiration from a picture, or envisioning a design in your mind, this is your chance to let your creativity soar. Consider the diamond shape, color, and style that resonates with you. Do you prefer the classic elegance of a round brilliant cut, the vintage charm of a cushion cut, or the contemporary allure of a princess cut? Perhaps you’re drawn to the mesmerizing hues of colored gemstones like sapphires or emeralds. Whatever your vision, we will lay it out in an initial sketch, breathing life into your ideas.

Step 2: CAD Design – Refining Your Vision With Precision
Once your vision is laid out, we transform it into a detailed CAD (Computer-Aided Design) rendering with the exact specifications of your sketch or idea discussed. This digital blueprint allows you to visualize every facet of your ring with stunning clarity and precision, from intricate details to precise proportions.
We will sit down together to review every aspect of the computer drawing and ensure it matches your original concept and expectations in every detail. Once you are satisfied, we will move into the final and most exciting stage of the custom design process, the creation, and finalization of your dream piece.

Step 3: Finished Design – Bringing Dreams to Life
With the CAD design approved, your ring enters the final stages of production. The design is sent to our skilled craftsmen, who bring it to life using state-of-the-art technology and traditional techniques. Here’s a glimpse into the meticulous process:
- Wax Mold Printing: The CAD design is translated into a wax mold using cutting-edge 3D printing technology. This step typically takes 1-2 days to complete.
- Casting: The wax mold is cast in your choice of gold or platinum, creating the foundation for your ring’s exquisite beauty.
- Stone Setting: Our stone-selecting team carefully selects every diamond and gemstone, making sure that each stone is in no way damaged and is a perfect fit. Every stone is set by hand, and the prongs are meticulously tipped to secure them in place.
- Finishing Touches: Your custom design is meticulously polished and rhodium plated to enhance its brilliance and durability.
- Quality Control: Before delivery, your ring undergoes rigorous quality control inspections to ensure it meets our exacting standards. Every detail is scrutinized for flaws, scratches, and other quality issues.
