What we make

If you can describe it, we can draw it

Bring a sketch, a photo you saved, or just an idea. These are the pieces people ask us for most.

Engagement rings

Designed around the stone you choose, or around one you already have. Solitaires, halos, three-stone rings, and settings nobody else is wearing.

Wedding and anniversary bands

Bands shaped to sit flush against an engagement ring, and anniversary bands made to match a ring you have worn for years.

Pendants and necklaces

A pendant built around a birthstone, a set of initials, or a stone from a ring you no longer wear.

Platinum pieces

Ray has specialized in platinum for 41 years. It is harder to work than gold, and it is the metal many shops will not make things in.

Pieces from family stones

A diamond from a grandmother’s ring or gold from the whole family, built into something new. See heirloom redesign below.

Gifts for one person

Something made for a birthday, a graduation, or a fiftieth anniversary, that exists nowhere else.

No surprises

You approve the design before we make anything

Custom work goes wrong when the first time you see the piece is when it is finished. So we sketch it out with you first, and talk it through until it is right.

Nothing is made until you say yes, and when it is, it is made here, at the bench in the back of the shop, by the person you sat down with.

Start to finish

How a custom piece comes together

01

We sit down

Bring photos, sketches, or the stone. We talk through metal, stones, and budget.

02

We sketch it

We draw the piece out with you, so you can see it before anything is made.

03

You approve it

Nothing gets made until you say yes.

04

We make it here

Cast, set, and finished on site. Your stones stay in our shop the whole time.

05

You pick it up

A final fitting, and a sizing adjustment if it needs one.

What custom costs

A price before anything is made

The price of a custom piece comes down to three things: the metal, the stones, and how much work the design takes. A plain band and a platinum halo ring are very different jobs.

Tell us your budget at the first sit-down and we design to it. You get a price with the design, before anything is made. Financing is available through Acima.

Common questions

Custom design questions

How long does a custom engagement ring take?

It depends on the design and the stones. We give you a date when you approve the design, and simpler pieces can be done very quickly.

Can I see the design before you make it?

Yes. We sketch it out with you first, and nothing is made until you approve it.

Can I bring my own diamond or stones?

Yes. Many of our custom pieces are built around a stone the customer already owns. It is checked with you first and never leaves our shop.

Can you make something from a photo I found online?

Bring it. A photo is a good place to start, and we will design a piece around what you like about it, sized and made for you.

Do you use natural or lab-grown diamonds?

Both. They look the same to the eye and differ in origin and price. We will explain the difference plainly and let you choose.

Do you work in platinum?

Yes. Platinum has been Ray’s specialty for 41 years. We work in platinum, white, yellow, and rose gold.

Starting from something you already own?
