Can I Customize an Engagement Ring? Here’s Everything You Need to Know

If you're wondering, "Can I customize an engagement ring?" the answer is a resounding yes—and Van Adams Jewelry is here to bring your vision to life. As Snellville, GA's premier jeweler specializing in custom engagement rings, we combine artistry, quality, and craftsmanship to help you design a ring as unique as your love story.

What Does Customizing an Engagement Ring Mean?

To customize an engagement ring means designing a ring that reflects your personal taste, love story, and lifestyle. Rather than selecting a pre-made piece, custom engagement rings give you creative freedom—from choosing the diamond shape and setting to selecting metal type, accent stones, and unique design features.

At Van Adams Jewelry, you can even incorporate family heirlooms or create something entirely new. Whether you prefer a classic solitaire or a modern halo with lab-grown diamonds, we help turn your ideas into timeless treasures.

Why Choose a Custom Ring?

Choosing a custom engagement ring offers many advantages:

• Personal Expression: A custom design ensures your ring is one-of-a-kind, just like your relationship.
• Meaningful Details: Add initials, symbols, or stones with special significance.
• Quality Control: You choose every element, ensuring your ring meets your standards.
• Emotional Connection: Being involved in the design process creates a deeper connection to the piece.

With Van Adams Jewelry, your dream ring isn’t just a possibility—it’s a promise.

The Custom Ring Design Process at Van Adams Jewelry

Our engagement ring design process is seamless, collaborative, and focused entirely on you. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Consultation

We begin with a personal design consultation in-store at our Snellville, GA showroom. You’ll discuss inspiration, budget, diamond preferences, and design ideas with one of our expert jewelers.

Step 2: Diamond or Gemstone Selection

Choose from an exquisite selection of natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, or even colored gemstones. We guide you through the 4 Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat) so you can make a confident choice.

Step 3: CAD Design & Wax Model

We create a 3D digital rendering (CAD) of your design, followed by a wax model to visualize proportions and ensure every detail is perfect before casting.

Step 4: Craftsmanship Begins

Once approved, our master jewelers bring your design to life using traditional techniques and the highest quality materials.

Step 5: Final Reveal

You’ll return for a grand reveal—and walk away with a ring made just for you.

Lab-Grown vs. Natural Diamonds for Custom Rings

When designing your own ring, choosing between lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds is a key decision.

Lab-Grown Diamonds: Ethically sourced, environmentally friendly, and often more affordable, lab-grown diamonds offer excellent value and beauty.

Natural Diamonds: Mined from the earth, each natural diamond has its own unique journey, making it a meaningful choice for traditionalists.
Van Adams Jewelry offers both options, so you can design a ring that aligns with your values and style.

How Much Does a Custom Engagement Ring Cost?

Custom engagement rings at Van Adams Jewelry start around $1,500 and can range upward depending on:

• Diamond or gemstone selection
• Metal type (yellow gold, white gold, platinum, etc.)
• Intricacy of design
• Custom features like engraving or accent stones

We work within your budget to create something extraordinary—without compromising quality or style.
