Choose the center stone, define the proportions and refine the ring through Live Collaborative CAD Design before it moves into production.
Reserve a Private ConsultationCustom does not have to mean starting from a blank page. Many of the best engagement rings begin with familiar elements — a solitaire profile, a hidden halo, a tapered band, a vintage detail, a specific stone shape — combined in proportions that feel right for one person.
Diamond Consulate serves Nichols Hills couples through private design appointments where the diamond and setting can be developed together. That matters because a ring designed around the exact center stone can account for its dimensions, profile and the way the finished ring needs to sit on the hand.
Live Collaborative CAD Design makes those choices visible. Instead of describing a change and waiting for another rendering, you can discuss width, height, stone placement and profile while the model is still being refined.
Compare natural and lab-grown diamonds before locking the design around a specific stone.

Once the important design choices are understood, the ring can move into CAD. The model gives us a shared visual language for refining the profile, band width, setting height, stone arrangement and other details before final approval and production.

A saved ring image may contain one detail you love and three you do not. Custom design lets us identify the underlying idea — perhaps the way the shoulders taper, the low profile, the gallery detail or the negative space — and develop a ring around those preferences rather than simply reproducing someone else’s piece.
Some engagement-ring profiles naturally accommodate a straight wedding band. Others require a contour, spacer or custom-fit design. Discussing that relationship early can prevent surprises later.
If the final look should be flush, intentionally gapped, stacked or balanced in a particular way, that can be considered while the engagement ring is still being designed.

Yes. You can participate in decisions about the center stone, setting style, dimensions, profile, band width, stone placement and finishing details while the ring is being developed.
Yes. Inspiration photos can be used to identify the individual elements you like so they can be developed into one cohesive design rather than copied literally.
Yes. Custom rings can be designed around either lab-grown or natural center stones.
Yes. Planning band fit while the engagement ring is being designed can help control the final stack, gap, height and contour.
Not necessarily. Cost depends on the diamond, metal, stone count, labor and complexity. Custom design can be used for very restrained rings as well as highly detailed pieces.
Many custom projects require approximately four to six weeks after final design approval, although timing varies based on complexity, materials, stone sourcing and deadline.
Yes. Custom engagement ring consultations are reserved so the appropriate design references, diamonds and consultation time can be prepared in advance.
