Services
Custom Engagement Rings
We create one-of-a-kind engagement rings tailored to client specifications using CAD technology and rapid prototyping. Clients can submit sketches, STL files, or ideas for transformation into wearable art. Our process accommodates metal changes, size adjustments, and design modifications while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
CAD Jewelry Design
Our computer-aided design services enable precise 3D renderings for rings, necklaces, and bracelets. Using industry-leading software like Rhino CAD and Jewel Matrix, we produce detailed digital models that clients can review and refine before production begins. This ensures accuracy and reduces material waste during manufacturing.
Platinum Jewelry Crafting
We specialize in crafting jewelry from 95% pure platinum blended with iridium for durability. Each piece undergoes independent assay certification to verify metal purity. Our proprietary formulas prevent tarnishing while maintaining the luxurious weight and luster associated with high-quality platinum jewelry.
Diamond Setting Services
Our expert setters use calibrated techniques to secure diamonds and colored stones with precision. Available styles include micro pave, prong, bezel, and channel settings. We ensure stones remain securely mounted through meticulous calibration to a tenth of a millimeter, preventing loosening or damage over time.
Rapid Prototyping
This technology converts digital designs into physical wax prototypes within hours. Clients receive tangible models for approval before casting begins, reducing production time by up to 50% compared to traditional methods. The process supports complex geometries and design iterations without compromising quality.

Questions
How does the custom jewelry design process work?
Submit a sketch, STL file, or describe your vision. Our team creates 3D renderings for approval, followed by wax prototyping and final production using your selected materials.
What metals do you use in your jewelry?
We use 18-karat gold (75% purity) with silver alloys for durability and 95% platinum blended with iridium. All metals undergo independent assay certification for quality assurance.
Can you recreate existing jewelry designs?
Yes, we can replicate or modify existing pieces using photographs, sketches, or physical samples. Our CAD technology allows precise scaling and material changes while maintaining design integrity.
What is the typical production timeline?
Standard orders take 10-14 business days. Rapid prototyping reduces this by 30-50% for simpler designs. Rush orders may be accommodated with advance notice and approval.
Do you offer international shipping?
While primarily serving US clients, we can arrange international shipping with prior consultation. All shipments include tracking and insurance for security.
How are diamond settings secured?
We use calibrated techniques ensuring stones remain firmly mounted. Our setters work to a tenth of a millimeter precision, with multiple quality checks during the setting process to prevent loosening.
