How Long Does it Take to Custom Make an Engagement Ring?

Typically, the entire process of making a custom ring takes around 4-5 weeks right from the designing phase to the completion of the manufacturing process. Let’s look into the steps involved in custom-designed rings.


Consultation with the Jeweler

The journey begins with a direct face-to-face consultation with a jewelry expert who can guide you through the entire process and discuss the ideas with you in detail. This person will give you a rough estimation of the cost of your final product along with the necessary details regarding the production process.


Draw the Sketch

The actual process starts with sketching the ring design. After you meet your jewelry designer, you can share your unique ring design idea with them. The design can be made from scratch or if you have already drafted the initial design then all your designer has to do is to give the design a perfect finish. Ring size, engravings and other important aspects are also discussed. The hand-crafted design is converted into 3D with CAD software.

Pick the Metal & Gemstone

The next step would be to select a desirable gemstone and metal for the ring. Your jeweler may help you choose the suitable metal for your skin and the most appropriate gemstone cut for your design in the desired size. If your design is still in its early stages of development then your choice of gemstone might introduce minor changes in the ring design.


Manufacturing the Ring

The actual manufacturing process involves metal casting, gemstone setting and ring polishing. Designing a custom ring might take variable time since each design varies from the rest depending on its complexity. Initially, a wax mold is created to get approval from the customer and after that, the actual metal casting takes place. This is followed by setting the gemstone after which engraving or final polishing is done. And guess what, the ring is ready for delivery.
