Why wear everyone elses jewelry?
We can make your wish come true …
We bring to life the visions of our customers with our handcrafted, one-of-a-kind bespoke engagement rings and fine jewelry! Working together with Michael Alari, you can design your own engagement ring, wedding band, mother’s ring, necklace, earrings, and more.
Whether you are looking to design your own gemstone ring as a true one-of-a-kind custom piece, or you would just like to personalize one of our existing designs, I would love to hear your ideas and collaborate with you to actualize your dream.
We can incorporate your legacy diamonds or gems into a new design and credit you for "old gold” as well to help pay for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
We can work with a variety of budgets. The starting point for a completely custom or “bespoke” jewelry piece is about $500. Often custom engagement sets come in at $2,000-$4,000, but when it comes to the most extravagant visions, the sky's the limit! If you have the budget, we have the talent.
Designing your own engagement ring or other piece of jewerly can seem daunting, but we’re here to offer assurance and guidance. We break the process down by asking for specific information, like:
- Example photos of jewelry you like
- Shapes, themes, colors, or moods you want in the piece.
- Practical details such as cut, color, stone type, metal type, etc.
We’ll prepare detailed 3D renderings and sometimes 3D prints for you to hold and try on during the consultation process so you can see your bespoke piece before we craft it.
We can source almost any material that isn’t extremely rare or illegal. If you have something specific in mind, feel free to ask us. If we aren’t able to get what you want, we’ll recommend alternatives.
When you design your own jewelry, you are getting a truly unique item. No two gemstones are the same, but by adding your own touch you can imbue your jewelry with added meaning, expressing your own personality, artistic flair, and spirit.
A bespoke piece also takes more effort. When you design your own gemstone ring, necklace, or eaarrings you’re not just buying somebody else’s work: you are putting in your own effort. When you desgin your own engagement ring it is a special opportunity to say something that will last a lifetime. What will you say?
