Custom Engagement Rings in New Orleans

An engagement ring is often the first jewelry purchase a person makes. It deserves a quiet setting, a clear explanation of what you are paying for, and someone who will take the time to get it right.

An alternative to the jewelry store

New Orleans has plenty of jewelry stores with engagement rings in the case. Working privately with me is different. We start with your budget and a sense of style. I source diamonds to fit, and design the setting to your specifications. You work with one person from the first meeting to the finished ring.

Choosing the diamond

Cut, color, clarity and carat all matter, but not equally, and not in the same way for every ring. I will show you where your money makes a visible difference and where it does not. Colored gemstones and fancy colored diamonds are beautiful choices for a center stone as well.

The setting

Solitaire, three-stone, halo, vintage-inspired, or something entirely your own — made in platinum or gold by craftsmen I have worked with for years.

Wedding bands

Matching or complementary bands for both partners, designed with the engagement ring or added later.
