  • Ring Size & Budget: Your approximate ring size (if known) and a comfortable target budget so we can tailor options specifically for you.
Q: Is the design process free?

Yes, 100% free. We provide complimentary 3D CAD renderings and will adjust and refine the design until you are completely satisfied—all before you commit to physical casting. There are zero design fees and no sales pressure.

Q: Will I see what my ring looks like before it is made and shipped?

Yes. You will receive 3D CAD renderings to review and adjust before we cast precious metal. Once handcrafted, our team captures HD video walkthroughs and high-definition photography of your actual piece for final approval before it leaves our factory.

Q: How does your 5-step craftsmanship process work?

We keep your custom journey simple, transparent, and comforting:

  1. Inspiration & Upfront Care: Share your photos or videos for a clear, transparent price estimate.
  2. 3D CAD Design & Casting: Review 3D CAD renderings, and once approved, we cast your ring in solid gold or platinum.
  3. Bench Assembly & Pre-Polishing: Master bench jewelers hand-file every detail and pre-polish hidden crevices for a silky-smooth fit.
  4. Microscope Stone Setting: Artisans set every diamond under high-power microscopes to maximize light reflection and security.
  5. Final Finishing & High-Definition Reveal: A brilliant polish, gentle cleaning, and a rigorous quality check before HD video approval and final shipping.

Ethical IGI Sourcing

Q: Do your lab-grown diamonds come with IGI certification?

Yes. All of our center lab-grown diamonds 1.00 carat and larger come with an official, independent grading report from the International Gemological Institute (IGI), detailing their exact cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. For Lab-Grown Diamonds below 1.00 carat, we do not provide complimentary IGI certification. However, for accent stones or diamonds under 1.00 carat, each stone is individually hand-selected and inspected under high magnification with D-E color, VVS-VS clarity, and an Excellent cut to ensure flawless optical brilliance.

Q: Where do you source your lab-grown diamonds? And why are Shenzhen and Shanghai considered the global gold standard?

We source our lab-grown diamonds exclusively from premier diamond growers and cutters in Shenzhen and Shanghai, the world's top-tier IGI-certificated lab-grown diamonds and gemstone suppliers origin, adhering to grading standards for clarity, polish, cut, and symmetry far stricter than anywhere else in the world. Most importantly, we strictly select as-grown, non-treated CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamonds. Unlike lower-grade lab-grown diamonds that undergo harsh post-growth HPHT treatment to artificially alter their color, our CVD diamonds grow slowly and naturally into pure, icy-white D, E, and F color grades with zero color treatment.By partnering directly with leading producers known for strict quality standards, we select only top-tier Type IIa rough crystal for white diamonds, the rarest and chemically purest form of diamond (representing less than 2% of natural diamonds)—ensuring exceptional clarity, icy color grades, and optimal light performance without milkiness or brownish undertones.

Q: How can I verify my lab-grown diamond's IGI certification and laser inscription?

Every IGI-certified diamond (1.00ct and above) features a microscopic, permanent laser inscription of its unique report number on the diamond's girdle. Upon delivery, you will receive the official physical IGI grading certificate. You can also independently verify your diamond's specifications anytime by entering the report number on the official IGI Website.

Q:Why do you choose IGI certification for your center stones?

The International Gemological Institute (IGI) is the globally recognized authority and pioneer in lab-grown diamond grading. Unlike traditional labs that were slow to adapt, IGI established strict, unbiased, and precise standards specifically for lab-grown gems. An IGI report provides complete transparency regarding your stone's exact Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat Weight, and optical growth character.

Q:Are accent stones or diamonds under 1.00 carat certified?

Full IGI laboratory grading reports are standard for center diamonds 1.00 carat and larger. For lab-grown diamonds under 1.00 carat:

  • 0.50ct – 0.99ct Diamonds: An official, full-page IGI grading report is available upon request for an additional nominal certification fee.
  • Under 0.50ct Diamonds: An IGI card certificate can be provided upon request for an additional nominal certification fee.
