Engagement rings
Every ring is designed and made at our bench in La Jolla, set with a GIA-certified diamond chosen by hand. Below is a selection currently in the showroom — and the starting point for anything we make to order.
Buying an engagement ring in La Jolla
Most of the rings on this page were made a few feet from where they were photographed — designed at our bench, cast, set and finished in-house, with GIA-certified center diamonds we import directly and choose by hand. No middlemen means better stones at honest prices, and a jeweler who can tell you exactly how your ring was made, because we made it.
If nothing here is quite right, that's normal — most of what we make never reaches the case. Bring a photo, a sketch or just an idea to the showroom and we'll design around it. Made-to-order rings are usually ready in about three weeks, and if there's already a diamond in the family, we'll happily build the ring around it.
How much should I spend on an engagement ring?
Whatever is comfortable — the old “rules” mostly sell diamonds, not happiness. We make rings across a wide range of budgets, and we'll tell you honestly where the money makes a visible difference and where it doesn't.
Are your diamonds GIA-certified?
Center stones are GIA-certified, and we'll walk you through the report — cut, color, clarity and carat — so you can see exactly why a stone is priced the way it is.
Can you make a custom engagement ring?
Yes — it's most of what we do. Design it with us at the bench, choose the metal and center stone in person, and your ring is usually ready in about three weeks.
Can I use a stone I already own?
Absolutely. Family diamonds are welcome — bring the stone, or the piece it's set in, and we'll design a new setting around it.
