How it Works
Step 01
Discuss Your Vision
Your vision is what matters the most. Come in willing to develop a concept and we will work with you to interpret the design honestly and accurately. Some come in with a sketch on a cocktail napkin and some come in with magazine clips of jewelry they like. Either way we work with you to nurture your idea in a creative and fun environment.
Step 02
Cost Estimate
Time to iron out the details. Once we sit down and decide metal type, what stones to use, and the quality and cut of said stones, we can provide you with an accurate cost estimate in seconds. The most important part of jewelry is the jewels, so this is an opportunity to find exactly what appeals most to you.
Step 03
Renderings
Now it’s time to make vision into reality. Utilizing state-of-the-art 3D modeling technology, our designers will build a 3D rendering of your piece. This way, you are able to see these renderings the same day you design your piece. This is the perfect opportunity to discuss important details, as seeing the rendering gives you a strong sense of what the final piece will look like.
Step 04
Approval & Manufacturing
Once we have decided on a final design, manufacturing can begin. Our 3D rendering becomes the blueprint for a 3D printed wax mold, which in turn is cast into the metal of your choice. Our master goldsmiths set stones, engrave, polish, and turn a rough outline into a beautiful piece of unique jewelry. It takes about X days to craft a custom designed ring.
Step 05
Pick Up & Celebrate
Now’s the time to celebrate! Come on in and experience your vision come to life. You now own in your possession a work of wearable art that will last generations. Every piece we create is backed by our pursuit of complete customer satisfaction. That’s the Charles Koll way.

Custom Design Questions
To learn more about custom designs, browse through these frequently asked questions. Have more questions? Feel free to get in touch with us!
What is the timeframe for a custom jewelry piece?
While our fastest turnaround time for a custom-designed piece has been 48 hours, we typically request a period of 2-3 weeks to complete the manufacturing process following design approval. We are committed to delivering each piece on or before the agreed deadline, and we do offer expedited services upon request for urgent requirements.
Is there a minimum price?
We don't have a minimum price requirement; however, we specialize in crafting jewelry using gold and platinum, which can make it challenging to accommodate budgets under $1000. Nonetheless, we are committed to exploring creative solutions to meet your needs and earn your business. Please share your ideas with us, and we'll work together to find a suitable option.
What if this is a surprise and I don't know their ring size?
If you're unsure about the ring size, try these tips:
- Ask Family or Friends: They might already know their size.
- Use a Photo: Provide a clear photo of their hand, and we can estimate the size.
- Check Other Rings: Tell us about any rings they wear regularly, and we can measure those for an estimate.
- Guess: The average ring size is 6. When in doubt, especially for an engagement ring, opt for a slightly larger size—it's better for the ring to fit loosely during the proposal than not at all.
We're here to help with any adjustments needed afterward.
