Step One: Explore and Favorite

Start by favoriting the designs you really love. Get an idea of what your eye is drawn to, and see them all together in your Favorites.This is helpful for your design consultant, also! Then, you can start with a certain design and pick your colors, make modifications or just use as a starting point inspiration!
 
From halo diamond rings to gemstone jewelry, Krikawa has you covered. Creating custom diamond engagement rings and wedding rings is our specialty. From Vintage engagement ring styles, to round and halo cushion styles, you're sure to create the one for you.

If nothing quite fits the bill, or even if you have a specific idea of what you want, the fastest way to see it is to take the Ring Quiz! There, you'll answer the questions that will enable your design consultant to put together your dream ring!

Do you love a design from our portfolio but just need a little more help visualizing it in the colors you love? Inquire on any style and specify the colors you want to see.
Colorizations can help you choose the perfect metal, accent stones, and center stone. Because your ring will be made to order, you can pick your favorite! Want to see the engagement ring in platinum? Just ask.
 

Step Four: Review Mock-ups and Sketches

When you want to create something brand new, or create a hybrid of designs, your designer will help you visualize your design through a process of sketching, mock-ups, and colorizations.

We can email you sketches and mock-ups for hybrids or brand new designs. This is a good time to think about your matching wedding bands also!

Step Five: Pick Your Metal

 
precious metal choices

Choose your metal type! Because each ring is made to order in a single batch process, it can be made in any precious metal of your choice. Your designer can help you choose the metal if you want to learn more about its properties.


 

We offer you a variety of precious metals such as platinum, palladium, 14k and 18k yellow gold and 14k rose gold, and of course 14k and 18k white gold. Can't decide on a color? Go with a two-tone metal design, or incorporate mokume-gane.  Read More >


 

Step 6: Find Your Perfect Center Stone

 
 
pick your diamond
DIAMONDS:
We have a vast selection of diamonds and diamond alternatives, like Moissanite, rose cut and unique diamonds, and lab created diamonds. Use the Diamond Search Tool if you know what diamond you're dreaming of, or use the White Stone Wizard to guide you through the decision making process.
Alternatively, work directly with your designer who will provide you a tailored listing made just for you. You can learn about diamonds and the 4C's on your own, or your consultant will be happy to share advice about diamond color, diamond clarity, diamond cut, diamond carat weight, and diamond shapes. Read More >
 
sapphire stone colors and choices
SAPPHIRES:
If it is color you desire, it is color you shall have.  Whether it is a natural stone or a lab created colored stone that you prefer, your sapphire jewelry can definitely be found at Krikawa. Search our online database of colored gemstones or use the Stone Wizard to help you narrow down your choices!

GEMSTONES AND BIRTHSTONES:
From rubies, amethyst, emeralds and alexandrites, the color you choose for your custom engagement ring setting can truly make a statement.

You'll get expert help in your selection, and the only stones we list in our database are excellent cut, excellent clarity, and just bottom-line spectacular. You can have peace-of-mind in your investment, because your stones will be hand selected by your designer to match your size, shape, color and budget needs. Read More >

 

Step Seven: Pick Your Accent Stones

Although white diamond is the traditional choice for accented wedding and engagement rings, here you can pick the stone type or color that you love best. Whether it is blue sapphire, ruby, emerald or fancy color diamonds, you're sure to find what your dreaming of. See Choices >

 

Step Eight: Personalize with Symbols and Secrets

If being custom made from scratch isn't enough, special touches such as birthstones or symbols on the inside of the ring can capture your memories and personality! Read More >

There's nothing more special than a secret birthstone or symbol inside the ring. This is more than a simple engraving, which we can also do. When we put a modeled symbol in your ring, it is deeply etched into the surface, never to fade away. It says, this ring was MADE for you.

 

Step Nine: Get Your Pricing Options

Most existing styles can be priced with our online calculator, but you'll have to wait if you're designing something custom.  Once your designer has provided you with the colorization, mock-up or sketch that defines you dream ring, you will receive an accurate and final price quote, that will be honored from start to finish.  Of course, as size, metal or stone changes are made, the price will be updated.

Do you have a budget? 
If you want to stick within a certain budget, be sure to inform your design consultant so the brainstorming, sketching and designing is all done for a ring that is within reach. This way it makes the most of everyone's time!

Payment Options to Fit Your Needs
After you've settled on your favorite design and the metals and stones that you'll love, you can get the ring making process started with a deposit. Your design consultant will be helping you along the way, supporting your budget needs and providing fixed and accurate pricing.

There are many different options when it comes to choosing how to invest in your once-in-a-lifetime ring. Read more > 
 
 

Step Ten: With a Deposit The Ball is Rolling!
