Yes! We guide you through choosing a diamond based on your budget and preferences, offering multiple options to ensure your ring is unique and meaningful.
Do I need an appointment for custom design?
Yes, appointments ensure dedicated time with our designers for custom projects or selling high-value jewelry.
Can you use my old gold for new jewelry?

Accurate quotes require in-person inspections to assess damage, materials, and repair complexity.

Custom pieces take 6-8 weeks, while semi-custom designs may be completed in two weeks, depending on complexity.
