Congratulations!
Congratulations!
We’re delighted for you and your partner. Your custom engagement ring or custom wedding rings should be as unique as your relationship.
At Studio1098, we want you to have a wonderful experience making rings for or with the person you love, and we’re excited to work with you to make that happen!
The Process
The Process
The Studio1098 custom design process begins with an idea and a budget.
Whatever you have to start with, we will help you turn your direction (vintage, classic, halo, solitaire, etc.) into a ring that will capture the feelings you have for your partner.
We respect your budget. Most of our clients come to us with a range of what they want their custom engagement ring or wedding rings to cost. The more information you share with us, the better job we can do of finding great options for you to consider. Our goal is to create something special within your budget range, and we strive not to show you options outside of your budget without your permission.
Ethical Sourcing
Ethical Sourcing
We ethically source all of the diamonds, sapphires and gemstones in our rings. We usually walk you through at least 3-5 options so that you are in control of your choices and your costs.
We do not work with diamonds sourced elsewhere unless they are family diamonds in existing jewellery.
Design
Design
Whether you know exactly what you want, or you’ve still working hard to get your head wrapped around the fact that you are getting engaged (!) or married (!!), we will spend as much time with you as it takes to get the design right.
We will help you make informed and thoughtful choices, doing our best to answer all of your questions. We love to add personalized touches to our designs, so if you have any ideas, please share them with us!
Bringing the Design to Life
Bringing the Design to Life
Once you’ve chosen your diamond or feature stone(s) and we’ve worked through a good idea of design with you, we make a computer drawing that lets you review your design to get a good sense of how the proportions work. We get your feedback, make any necessary changes, and then produce a 3D printed scale model that brings the design to life. Once you approve the model, we make your ring.
We sweat the small stuff
We sweat the small stuff
Leave the details to us - we want you to be able to focus on the fun stuff and enjoy the experience of designing something special together or for the person you love. We take care of getting the size right so you don’t have to worry, and we include an appraisal with all of our engagement rings so you’ll have what you need to get that ring insured. Let us know if you have any questions - we’ll do our best to answer them!
About Us
People always want to know how Studio1098 is different than Tiffany's, Birks, Spence Diamonds, Cartier, and other big chain jewellery stores. Studio1098 is a small boutique - I don't use (or like) high-pressure sales tactics, and I design and make everything we sell with help from my team.
My designs are influenced by many genres and eras of jewellery. I'm inspired by vintage and antique jewellery, especially Art Deco and Art Nouveau pieces. I've designed and made pieces influenced by my travels, design and architecture. I love, geometry and nature. I like to play around with my designs so that there's always something new going on in the studio.
When I do custom design work, I am inspired by you - my client. I want to take the ideas that you have in your head and turn them into exactly what you're looking for.
So please be in touch - let me know what you’d like to make, and we’ll find a way to make it happen!
