Custom Engagement ring

We set a $10,000 minimum to ensure every piece receives the level of design attention, craftsmanship, and sourcing precision it deserves.

This allows us to prioritize quality over volume, and maintain the standard our clients expect.

If your engagement ring using a lab-grown diamond falls below this threshold, you can:

• Design your engagement ring + wedding band together, or

• Include an additional ready-to-wear piece (bracelet, pendant, etc.)

If you are located in Los Angeles, you are welcome to book an in-person appointment at our boutique in the Arts District, Downtown LA.

For clients outside Los Angeles, we offer virtual consultations via Zoom, allowing us to work with you from anywhere in the world.

If your location falls outside the available time slots shown on the booking page, feel free to email us at inquiry@danielyujewelry.com — we will coordinate a time that works for you.

We are also in the process of expanding to New York City.

The process is intentionally collaborative, but design-led.

Before or during the consultation, you’re encouraged to share:

• References from my previous work

• Images you’re drawn to

• Or personal stories you want the piece to reflect

You don’t need to know exactly what you want — clarity comes through the conversation.

During the consultation, we define the direction and provide a quote based on design and materials.

From there, you will receive 2D and 3D design renderings for review.
Before moving into physical production, we refine the design based on your feedback and confirm all details.

This process works best when there is mutual trust —
a shared sense of taste, intention, and a clear execution strategy.

Yes — this is always recommended.

Designing both together allows us to:

• Ensure perfect geometric alignment

• Achieve maximum comfort

• Create a cohesive design language

That said, if you prefer to design the wedding band later, we can always build from your existing engagement ring.

There is no bias — the choice is entirely yours.

Lab-grown diamonds:

• We only work with premium quality (D–F color, VVS clarity)

Natural diamonds:

• Each stone is individually sourced based on optimal:

  • Color

  • Clarity

  • Fluorescence

  • Cut proportions

We guide you, but we don’t impose — the decision is strategic and personal.

Most custom projects take 2–3 months from start to completion.

Timeline depends on:

• Design complexity

• Center stone sourcing

• Communication and approvals

The budget is primarily driven by the type and size of the center stone.

• Lab-grown diamonds offer flexibility and scale — most designs can be completed within or around $10,000, depending on size and complexity

• Natural diamonds exist in a very different range — pricing increases significantly with carat size, rarity, and quality

For natural diamonds:

• Smaller stones may start in the five-figure range

• Larger stones (2–3 carats and above) can move into the $30,000–$100,000+ range

• Exceptional stones (4–5 carats+) can exceed six figures

We guide you through both options and help you determine what aligns best with your priorities, values, and long-term vision for the piece.

Always.
