Who are the best custom jewelers online?

“I think that I’ve found the perfect Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamond, and realize that Brian Gavin offers an extensive selection of diamond engagement rings, but I’m not finding the exact ring that my girlfriend has indicated that she likes, built to accommodate a square cushion cut diamond; so I’m thinking that it might be necessary to have the ring custom made. Can you tell me who the best custom jewelers are online, and whether it is best to ship the diamond to them to be set, or should I have them send the setting to you so that you can set the diamond? The ring we want is kind of like the Summer setting from BGD, but with trillion shape accents. Thank you. - Alex B.

Custom design engagement rings from Brian Gavin:

I have great news for you Alex, you don’t have to concern yourself with shipping the diamond back and forth between Brian Gavin and another custom jeweler online, because Brian Gavin Diamonds has an in-house custom jewelry design division which is extremely talented!

The custom jewelry artisans that we employ have worked in the jewelry industry for many years, and have experience in designing custom engagement rings using state-of-the-art methods like Computer Aided Drafting / Design (CAD) and milling machines which ensure that the ring which we custom make for you will be symmetrical and of the highest quality.

Ordering a custom ring from BGD based on another design:

Brian Gavin Summer 3 Stone Pear Shape Diamond Engagement RingThe Summer three stone ring from Brian Gavin that you reference is designed for a round brilliant cut center stone, and features two pear shape diamonds as accents; therefore the cagework and prong structure are designed to accommodate diamonds of those shapes, however it is definitely a design which we can adapt to accommodate a center stone selected from the Brian Gavin Signature cushion cut diamond collection, and a matched pair of triangle shaped diamonds for accents. All you need to do to get the process started, is to Contact us with the details of the center stone which you’ve selected, so that we can find a matched pair of accent stones that provide a good balance for it.

We’ll also need to know whether you prefer the custom diamond engagement ring to be made of palladium, platinum, rose gold, white gold, or yellow gold, as well as your girlfriend’s finger size, in order to provide you with an accurate quote.

How long does it take to make a custom ring?

I don’t know what sort of time frame you are working with, but it takes about 10 business days or approximately two weeks, to make a custom designed engagement ring from start to finish.

The process of designing a custom engagement ring usually begins with the client providing us with examples of ring concepts that they like, and then some correspondence back and forth to fine tune the design details.

Brian Gavin Custom Jewelry Ring Design Process Cad ImagesOnce the basic details of the custom ring design have been determined, a deposit is required before the project can be started; this will begin with one of our jewelry designers creating the ring using Computer Aided Drafting (CAD Jewelry Design) to design the ring; and then we will send you pictures of the custom design in wire frame format, and images which have been rendered by computer, so that you can see how the finished ring will look. The picture to the right is a screenshot from the CAD program…

Upon approval of the ring design by you, we will create a wax model of the ring, and then cast the ring in the alloy of your choice (gold, palladium, platinum) and then polish the setting, and set the diamonds, so that we can photograph the ring, and send you glamour photographs of the engagement ring for you to share with family and friends!
