Is there a charge for a jewelry consultation?
No. The consultation, reserved studio, hospitality, and initial diamond or design conversation are complimentary.
How long is a consultation?
Most consultations are scheduled for 60 to 90 minutes. Complex custom jewelry projects may require up to two hours.
Which consultation should I choose?
Choose the appointment closest to your project. If the project overlaps categories, select the nearest option and explain the details in the booking notes.
Can I reserve before I am ready to buy?
Yes. Early consultations are useful for understanding diamond options, budgets, design direction, timing, and what information to gather before making a final decision.
What should I bring?
Bring saved images, an existing ring, inherited jewelry, loose stones, the proposal or event date, and a budget range if available. If you have none of those, you may still reserve a consultation.
Do I need to know my partner’s ring size?
No. A borrowed ring can help, but the absence of an exact size should not prevent the consultation from beginning.
Do I need to choose natural or laboratory-grown diamonds first?
No. Both can be compared and discussed during the consultation, including appearance, price, rarity, resale, and future-value considerations.
Can I bring people with me?
Yes. Each studio accommodates your designer and up to three guests.
Can I reserve without my partner knowing?
Yes. Use the notes to identify any phone number, email address, or mailing address that should not be used.
Can couples design an engagement ring together?
Yes. Many couples compare diamonds and create the engagement ring together while keeping the proposal timing and details private.
Do you offer evening consultations?
Yes. Consultations are available until 8:00 pm Monday through Thursday and until 10:00 pm Friday and Saturday.
Do you accept walk-ins?
No. Consultations are reserved so the room, designer, time, and relevant diamonds, gemstones, or design references can be prepared in advance.
Where is Diamond Consulate located?
Diamond Consulate is located at 5701 N Western Avenue, Suite B, Oklahoma City, OK 73118.
Is parking available?
Yes. Complimentary parking is available directly in front of the building.
Why is the exterior door locked?
The exterior door remains locked between scheduled arrivals because the studio is reserved for consultations rather than open foot traffic. Follow the instructions in your confirmation or call when you reach Suite B.
Can I bring inherited jewelry or loose stones?
Yes. Bring the actual pieces so they can be examined and discussed for redesign, resetting, restoration, or preservation.
Can I bring an engagement ring purchased elsewhere for a wedding band?
Yes. Bring the engagement ring so the wedding band can be designed around its actual profile and fit.
Will I be pressured to buy?
No. The purpose of the consultation is to clarify the decision. You may leave with a selected diamond, a design, a quote, several options, or simply more information.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice when possible because the studio, designer, and any sourced stones may be held specifically for the consultation.
Can I call instead of booking online?
Yes. Call Diamond Consulate at (405) 805-1050 for help choosing the right consultation or reserving a time.
