How to Design a Custom Engagement Ring in Toronto

Designing a custom engagement ring is one of the most meaningful ways to celebrate your love. Whether you're planning a surprise proposal or designing it together, creating a ring from scratch lets you tell your unique story. If you're in Toronto, you're in luck—the city is home to skilled jewelers who specialize in custom, handcrafted rings using both lab-grown and natural diamonds.

At Design by Sevan, we guide you through every step to create a one-of-a-kind engagement ring that reflects your love and values. Here's how the process works:

Step 1: Discover Your Style

Start by exploring ring styles that speak to you. Think about:

• Metal preferences (yellow gold, white gold, platinum, etc.)

• Diamond shape (round, oval, pear, emerald, etc.)

• Design aesthetic (minimalist, vintage, modern, bold)

Pinterest, Instagram, and our own custom ring gallery at Design by Sevan are great places to gather inspiration.

Step 2: Set a Budget

Custom doesn’t mean unaffordable. In fact, custom design allows you to get exactly what you want within your price range. Whether you choose a lab-grown or natural diamond, we work with your budget to find the best materials and options.

Step 3: Choose Your Diamond (Lab or Natural)

One of the biggest decisions is whether to go with a lab-grown or natural diamond. Both are real diamonds—lab-grown diamonds are eco-friendly and cost-effective, while natural diamonds have timeless appeal and rarity.

We’ll guide you through the 4 Cs (cut, color, clarity, carat) and help you choose the perfect stone.

Step 4: Meet with a Toronto Jeweler

This is where the magic begins. Book a consultation with a Toronto jeweler for personalized engagement rings like us. During the meeting, we sketch ideas, review stones, and discuss design details. You’ll see how your vision comes to life.

Step 5: Review a 3D Design

Before we craft the ring, you’ll receive a digital 3D rendering of the design. This allows you to make changes and ensure every detail is perfect.

Step 6: Handcrafting Your Ring

Once you approve the design, we begin the meticulous process of handcrafting your engagement ring right here in Toronto. From setting the stone to polishing the band, every step is done with care.

Step 7: The Final Reveal

The moment you receive your custom ring is unforgettable. You’ll have a piece of fine jewelry that’s ethical, beautiful, and completely personal—ready to mark the next chapter of your love story.
