A custom engagement ring with a lab-grown diamond center moves through a few clear stages, and each stage has its own stated time.
The stages in order: the request, sourcing the lab-grown diamond, CAD design, the deposit, the build, and delivery. Written for the first-ring path on our engagement page.
Step 1: Send a request
Start with a request on the custom page that tells us the shape, the size, the budget and the style you have in mind. If you do not know the ring size, the form has a path for that.
Step 2: We source your lab-grown diamond
We search and present 2 to 5 lab-grown diamonds, with more for larger or higher-budget projects. A standard search takes 3 to 10 business days.
Expedited search is available on request.
Our full process is on the sourcing page.
Step 3: CAD design
Once you have chosen your lab-grown diamond, we design the ring in CAD. The CAD design takes 1 to 2 weeks, with 2 to 3 revision rounds included.
Step 4: The deposit
Production starts after the production deposit. Deposit terms: see our Terms of Service.
Step 5: The build
Custom pieces take 3 to 6 weeks.
Step 6: Shipping and delivery
Shipping options and rates: see our shipping policy. Inspection after delivery: see our return policy.
Planning around a date
