Such an important piece deserves careful attention and crafting, and at Diamond Exchange Houston, we combine meticulous craftsmanship with an expedited process. On average, it takes four to twelve weeks to finish a custom engagement ring. At Diamond Exchange, it only takes three to four weeks, with the same attention to detail and quality.
1. Designing Your Dream Ring
Designing your dream engagement ring takes time, creativity, and collaboration. As you explore options with your partner, think about your style, lifestyle, and budget.
From choosing between natural or lab-grown diamonds to selecting the 4 C’s (cut, color, clarity, and carat), setting, metal type, and size — every detail should reflect your love story.
While Pinterest can inspire ideas, Diamond Exchange Houston goes further with our online ring design tool, allowing you to customize every aspect — from stone shape and carat weight to metal, band style, and even engraving.
Once you have solid ideas for what your dream ring will look like, the next step would be to call 281-623-1105 to schedule an appointment at Diamond Exchange Houston. You can schedule an appointment the day of, although it is reccomended to schedule at least a day in advance.
2. Consultation
Once you schedule your consultation, you will meet with one of our Diamond experts to discuss how to make your dream engagement ring come to life.
As you browse our selection… after one to two consultations (per the clients preference) you’ll conclude with your assigned expert your design.
3. CAD (Computer Aided Design)
Once you specify with our expert your ring design, our team will communicate with our designer to create a CAD of your ring, or computer aided design. This process takes about a week at max. A CAD is a 3-D digital model of your ring, meant to act as a prototype for your engagement ring. Created with extreme detail, our CAD design process ensures absolute precision and care is taken when perfecting your design, whether simple or complex.
One the first CAD is ready, you’ll communicate with our designer any further additions or changes you would like to make. This process may take from one to several drafts, depending on the clients preference.
Once the CAD is “finalized” with approval from a client, the physical creation process begins. At this point, the materials are ready or have been brought in to make your dream ring come to life, and our expert jeweler begins the final steps of the custom engagement ring journey.
Your Dream Ring is Ready
After one to two weeks of meticulous craftsmanship, your dream engagement ring is ready for pick up! We also provide shipping options if necessary. Regardless, we will contact you immediately once it is ready. After a quick consultation, if there are no other additions, you are ready to wear your dream engagement ring.
At Diamond Exchange Houston, our mission is to help you design your dream engagement ring at the fraction of the cost and time of traditional jewelers. We showcase this through our expedited ring creation process and our caring expert team, who will help you design a piece that truly represents your love and commitment, without compromising on diamond quality or budget.
