Private jeweler · Made to order · San Diego
Custom engagement rings, wherever you are in San Diego.
Most people come to Andrew knowing roughly the ring they want. What they want from him is to get it right: a diamond that is genuinely good and not just good on paper, a setting built to last a lifetime, and a number that isn’t paying for a showroom or gambling on a website.
Andrew Gonzalez is a private jeweler. He carries no inventory, so there is nothing he needs to sell you. He hand-picks the stone for each client from brokers he has bought from for thirty years, and every ring is made to order, by appointment, whether it starts in CAD, from a proven setting, or from a family diamond. The number on this site is his: text it, call it, or send the form. San Diego County is broken out below. Anywhere else works too.
Step 1Text him
A photo, a shape, or a number is enough. Tell him the date if there is one.
Step 2He sources
Two or three stones that fit, a setting direction, and a straight read on each.
Step 3You compare
Side by side at his desk if you're in San Diego. By photo and video if you're not.
Step 4He builds it
A written plan and a number first, then the work, with photos along the way.
