Engagement rings

Engagement rings and wedding bands, custom or from bridal lines

Diamond Works makes custom engagement rings and carries bridal lines including Valina Bridal and Unique Settings of NY, plus men's and women's wedding bands. You work one-on-one with Mike, by appointment, and we recommend GIA-certified diamonds.

Two ways to get the ring

Custom ring or a bridal line?

A custom engagement ring

For the ring you can picture but can't find. You design it with Mike, choose the center stone, and he makes it in house.

“… When I was originally looking for my wife's engagement ring Mike went above and beyond. He helped me create what I wanted when I could t [sic] seem to find an out of the box option. …”

How custom design works

From our bridal lines

Valina Bridal: its signature side diamond lines up when the engagement ring and band are worn together, which Valina calls "the Look of Love". Unique Settings of NY and Overnight Mountings: engagement settings and mountings, ready for your center stone.

“Prior to coming into Diamond Works we had visited several other shops. Mike immediately made us feel at ease and was very genuine in wanting to help us find the right engagement ring and wedding band. …”

The center stone

How do I know the diamond is what they say?

Ask for a GIA grading report and check it. The Gemological Institute of America is a nonprofit that created the Four Cs grading system and has no interest in where you buy your stone (GIA (opens in a new tab)).

We recommend only GIA-certified diamonds and source loose stones through several diamond companies. Carat weight is exact, too: a ½ carat from us is 50 points, not a "light" 45.

Wedding bands

Wedding bands for both of you

We carry men's and women's wedding bands, including Thorsten bands in alternative metals, and we can make a custom band shaped to sit with an engagement ring.

Already have rings? We also redesign wedding sets. One customer brought in a wrap whose accent diamonds caught on things and left with two separate rings, the accents set down into the band.

“… Mike was so easy to work with and came up with a beautiful design. His price was very reasonable and service and workmanship was stellar!”

Questions

Engagement ring questions

Do you recommend GIA-certified diamonds?

Yes. We recommend GIA-certified diamonds. GIA is a nonprofit with no stake in where you buy, and its grading reports are the industry standard. We source loose stones through several diamond companies to find the right one at the best price.

Do you sell lab-grown diamonds?

Yes. We offer lab-grown diamonds as well as natural ones, and every stone is described as exactly what it is.

Is a half carat always 50 points?

It should be, but many stores sell stones as light as 45 points as "about a half carat". At Diamond Works, a ½ carat stone is exactly that: 50 points. We always describe every stone as exactly what it is.

Do you have men's wedding bands?

Yes. We carry men's and women's wedding bands, including Thorsten bands in alternative metals, and we can make a custom band to match an engagement ring.

How much does a custom ring cost?

Every piece is priced to its design and the stones you choose, so we don't publish a price list. Mike walks you through options for your budget at your appointment, and our vendor relationships let us pass savings on to you.

How long does a custom piece take?

About 2 to 4 weeks for a typical custom piece, from design to pickup. It depends on the design and the stones, and Mike will confirm the timeline at your appointment.

Is your work covered by a warranty?

Yes. Diamond Works offers a warranty on its work. Mike will go over the details at your appointment.

Can we just talk on the phone first?

Yes. Choose "phone consultation" on the appointment form, or call (850) 244-5252.
