Final Ring
Most projects move from first consultation to a finished ring in 8–12 weeks. The timeline depends on design complexity and stone sourcing — both discussed upfront, so there are no surprises.
A Private, Design-Led Approach
You work directly with the designer from first conversation to final piece — no handoff, no upselling, and no pressure to decide on the day.
A guided, one-on-one process, without a traditional retail environment.
One-on-one consultations to explore ideas, stones, and proportions
A full quote before any design work begins. No surprises.

Custom rings typically begin around $4,000, with most projects falling between $5,000 and $12,000. The final cost depends on your centre stone, metal, and design — all discussed transparently before any work begins.
Custom doesn’t mean more expensive. Because the ring is built around your priorities, more of your budget goes toward the stone and materials — not a pre-made design you’re adapting.
How It Works
Meet in-person in Calgary or virtually. Share your ideas, budget, and any inspiration. No pressure, no commitment required.
Hand-drawn sketches, 3D renderings, and wax models based on your direction. Review, give feedback, and refine until it’s right. Stone options sourced and presented.
Once approved, your ring is crafted to spec with updates throughout and a final quality review. Most rings are completed within 6–10 weeks of design approval.
Stone selection is part of the process — sourced and presented based on your direction.
Natural and lab-grown, in classic cuts as well as antique and uncommon shapes — rose cuts, old mine cuts, and other vintage-inspired forms.
A full spectrum — blue, green, teal, yellow, pink, bi-colour. Durable, well suited to daily wear, with far greater colour expression.
Muted, natural palettes — soft blues, smoky greens, teal and steel tones. Each stone unique, quietly distinctive.
Internal markings create an organic, textured look — from soft grey to deep, storm-like tones. Each stone visually distinct.
Modern, minimal, and bold. Strong visual contrast and a refined, architectural look within custom structures.
Spinel, tourmaline, aquamarine, morganite, and more — selected for hue, clarity, durability, and individual character.
Existing diamonds and gemstones carefully assessed and thoughtfully reused — meaningful pieces reimagined in a new setting.
Platinum and golds in every tone, paired to your stone and design — guided to balance beauty, longevity, and budget.

“I came in with very little knowledge about jewelry design, but she walked me through every step of the design with patience and clear explanations… She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and turned my ideas into a piece even better than I ever imagined.”
“My wife waited 20 yrs for this ring so needless to say, I needed to nail this. I also wanted to surprise her, which means that Melissa had to spend hours gathering information from me and my wife’s friends, analyzing pictures in order to get a sense of my wife’s style, preferences and hand size. We went through multiple diamonds, rings and designs. Melissa completely nailed it. My wife is ecstatic with her ring; she loves her ring and is proud to show it at every opportunity. Thank you, Melissa, for making this happen!”
