How Long Does a Custom Engagement Ring Take?

Timing depends on the diamond, setting path, approvals, production method, and how much needs to be custom-built. The best answer comes after the design direction is known.

Fast projects have clear decisions

Some projects may be possible in as little as 14 days when diamond, setting, approvals, and production path allow it. That usually means the key choices are already clear and the production route is available.

CAD adds review time

CAD can be worth the time when the design needs exact proportions. The couple may need to approve renderings, adjust details, and confirm the final production path.

Proposal dates should be discussed early

If there is a fixed date, share it at the first appointment. The ring plan may need to prioritize a setting path that can realistically meet the deadline.

Questions couples ask before the first appointment

Can a custom ring be rushed?

Sometimes, but only when the diamond, setting, approvals, and production path support the date. It should not be promised blindly.

What slows a custom ring down?

Unselected diamonds, complex CAD revisions, unusual stones, delayed approvals, and specialty production details can add time.

A photo, sketch, or even a rough idea is enough to start. Andrew can usually tell you whether the smartest path is a sourced diamond, a modified setting, a CAD build, or a short call to compare options.
