The engagement process is an intimate collaboration. We provide the artistry and technical expertise to ensure you feel confident in every decision, whether we work together in person or remotely. Rather than holding inventory, we curate a tailored selection of stones from our international network. We then invite you to view them side-by-side—in person or through a guided virtual consultation—ensuring your stone aligns with your vision and our obsession with quality and design.

Your journey begins with a creative dialogue to define the soul of your ring. We curate a selection of ethically sourced diamonds or gemstones specifically for you, focusing on character, brilliance, and quality. Whether we are sourcing a new center stone or inspecting a family treasure for repurposing, we provide or facilitate the formal GIA appraisals and technical resources needed to document your stone’s value as a future heirloom.

Once your center stone is selected, we begin designing the architecture of the ring. This is where your vision takes shape through detailed sketches and high-fidelity 3D renderings, to create something uniquely yours. To ensure the scale and form are exactly as you imagined, we create a physical sterling silver casting of your design. This collaborative step allows for final refinements and a perfect fit before we move into production.

With the design approved, we cast your piece in your chosen metal. Stones are meticulously secured by our master stone setter to ensure structural integrity and brilliance, followed by a multi-stage polishing process in our San Francisco studio. We oversee every detail to meet the highest standards for quality and finish.

Your engagement ring is presented in our signature packaging, ready for the moment you propose. We are happy to arrange an in-person pickup at our San Francisco Studio or coordinate secure shipping to your destination.
