A Private, Design-Led Approach
Choosing a gemstone often means choosing something more personal.
A specific colour, A heritage cut, Or a look that feels less traditional.
West of Fourth sources hues and cuts not typically stocked in traditional jewellery stores, then evaluates durability, structure, and budget before any design work begins. Each stone is reviewed under the guidance of a GIA Graduate Diamonds and Coloured Stones professional so the final piece is both meaningful and built to last.
Designed around your chosen stone, your story, and your budget
Guidance on durability and daily wear for coloured and alternative stones

Whether a classic diamond, a specific shade of teal sapphire, or an old mine cut, stones are sourced individually once we’ve defined the direction — not selected from limited in-store inventory.
You’ll get clear direction on what’s worth prioritizing, where you can stretch your budget, and where you don’t need to.
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.
How It Works
Meet in-person at the Calgary studio or virtually across Canada. Share your ideas, budget, and inspiration — no pressure, no commitment required.
Ideas begin as hand-drawn pencil sketches, allowing the design to develop organically before refinement.
3D renderings and wax models bring the concept to life. Stones are sourced individually and presented — guided by size, budget, quality, and colour.
Once approved, your piece is crafted to spec with updates throughout and a final quality review before delivery.
Your finished piece, ready to wear. Most rings are completed within 6–10 weeks of design approval.
