Our custom Rosados Box® jewelry is designed and handcrafted through our Chicago studio by the Love & Promise Jewelers team. After your design and digital 3D rendering are approved, your piece moves into production, where the process can include wax creation, molding, metal casting, stone setting, engraving, finishing, and quality control. Keeping our custom design process close to home allows our designers and jewelers to stay connected to the details throughout the journey. Whether you’re creating a custom engagement ring, redesigning a meaningful piece, or bringing an entirely new jewelry idea to life, your design receives the thoughtful craftsmanship and attention to detail at the heart of Rosados Box®.

Ready to create something of your own? Schedule a Custom Design Consultation with our Chicago team and tell us the story you’d like your piece to tell.

The cost of a custom engagement ring depends on your design, center stone, accent stones, metal, proportions, complexity, and the amount of craftsmanship involved. At Love & Promise Jewelers, the average custom ring typically ranges from approximately $2,000–$5,000+ (as of 2026), although designs can fall above or below that range depending on your choices. Custom doesn’t automatically mean choosing the most expensive option. Your budget helps guide decisions about gemstone type, stone size, setting, metal, and design details, and our team can help you decide where your investment will make the most meaningful difference. Pricing is discussed before your project moves forward so you can design with clarity and confidence.

Our custom jewelry design process begins with a one-on-one consultation where we get to know your vision, inspiration, style, budget, and timeline. From there, our designers develop your concept and create a digital 3D rendering so you can see your piece from multiple angles before it’s made (see next question for details). You’ll have an opportunity to review the design and request adjustments before approving it for production. Once approved, our jewelers bring your piece to life through casting, stone setting, finishing, engraving when applicable, and quality control. When everything is complete, we’ll send final photographs for your approval before your jewelry begins its journey to you.

Ready to start your own design story? Schedule a Custom Design Consultation and share your ideas with our team.

Absolutely. You don’t need a finished sketch—or even a perfectly defined style—to begin designing a custom engagement ring. Inspiration photos, Pinterest boards, screenshots, favorite Rosados Box® designs, gemstone colors, or even a list of things you like and dislike can give our designers a meaningful place to start. During your consultation, we’ll help you identify the details that matter most, such as center stone shape, gemstone, setting style, band width, metal color, overall aesthetic, and how the ring needs to fit your everyday life. Custom design is collaborative, so part of our job is helping all those little ideas become one beautifully cohesive piece.

Yes. Custom design doesn’t always have to begin completely from scratch. If you’ve fallen in love with a Rosados Box® engagement ring but imagine it with a different center stone, gemstone color, metal, proportion, setting detail, or personal touch, talk with our team about what may be possible. Some changes are relatively simple, while others may require a new CAD design or become a more involved custom project. We’ll help you understand what can be modified while preserving the integrity, wearability, and overall balance of the design. It’s a beautiful option when you’ve found something that feels almost perfect and want to make the final details feel unmistakably yours.

Found something you love with one little “but”? Schedule a Custom Design Consultation and we’ll help you explore whether your favorite Rosados Box® design can become something even more personal.

Yes. Choosing your center stone is one of the most exciting parts of creating a custom ring. Depending on your vision and availability, we can help you explore natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, Rosados Box® moissanite, sapphires, and other colored gemstones in different shapes, sizes, colors, and characteristics. In some instances, we can also custom cut unique shapes for moissanites as well! Your stone can influence everything from the proportions of the setting to the overall personality of the finished ring, so we’ll consider both beauty and practicality when helping you choose. If you’re dreaming about a particular color, shape, or gemstone, bring that inspiration to your consultation and we can discuss sourcing and design possibilities.

In some custom design projects, an existing family diamond or gemstone may be incorporated into a new piece, depending on the stone’s condition, measurements, durability, and suitability for the proposed design. Because heirloom stones can carry both sentimental and material value, they should be evaluated before we determine the safest design approach. Our team can discuss your stone, the setting you envision, and whether a redesign makes sense for its shape and condition. When possible, reimagining an heirloom can be a beautiful way to preserve part of one story while creating a piece that feels more personal to the chapter you’re beginning now.

Once your digital 3D design is ready, you’ll receive multiple views of your piece so you can review the proportions and details before production begins. Depending on the original design framework, revisions may include adjustments to details such as the stone angle, prong style, cathedral arches, band shape, width or height, and raising or lowering the basket setting. We currently include up to three rounds of design adjustments at no additional charge when the changes remain within the approved design framework. A completely new direction requiring a full CAD rebuild, or changes requiring additional gemstones, metal, or labor, may involve an additional cost. We’ll communicate any pricing changes before moving forward.

Not always. At Love & Promise Jewelers, your custom jewelry design includes up to three rounds of design adjustments at no additional cost, as long as the changes stay within the approved design framework and do not require a completely new CAD design.

• Minor adjustments within the existing design: No additional charge for up to three rounds of revisions.
• Full CAD rebuild for a new design direction: Starts at $250+, depending on the complexity of the new design.
• Changes requiring additional gemstones, gold, or labor: May result in a price difference based on the materials and work required.

Before your custom piece moves into production, you’ll have the opportunity to review your digital 3D design and make sure the details feel right. If a requested change would involve an additional cost, our team will discuss the pricing with you before moving forward.

Most custom engagement rings take approximately 4–6 weeks, although the exact timeline depends on the complexity of your design, how quickly revisions are approved, stone sourcing, and our current production schedule. Once your 3D design is approved, production itself typically takes around three weeks as your piece moves through casting, stone setting, finishing, engraving when applicable, and quality control. If you’re designing around a proposal, wedding, anniversary, or another important date, tell us during your consultation. Rush options may be available depending on the project and season, so starting the conversation early gives us the best opportunity to work with your timeline.
