Custom Engagement Rings · Designed Together

Design the ring together.
Keep the surprise.

You can choose the style, stone, and direction together — while still leaving room for a private final reveal.

Designed Together, Not Overwhelmed

You do not have to decide everything in one conversation.

Start with shared ideas

Bring the styles, colors, stones, photos, or details you both like. The first step is understanding the direction, not solving the whole ring.

We organize the choices

Stone, setting, metal, proportions, budget, and wearability are narrowed step by step so the process feels clear instead of chaotic.

The final reveal can stay private

One partner can step out near the end while the final refinements, delivery, and proposal details stay a surprise.

Designed and made in California 🇺🇸

We craft some of the finest
custom engagement rings.​

Experience the personalized creation of your dream ring, where each step reflects our commitment to craftsmanship and your unique story.

Choose the Experience

Keep it open,
or keep part of it private.

Designing together does not have to remove the surprise. You can decide how much of the process stays shared.

Option One

Fully together

You both stay involved through the stone, design, 3D model, approval, and final details.

Option Two

Together, then private

You choose the main direction together, then one partner takes over the final stage so the finished ring still feels like a reveal.

Shared Decisions

The important choices become easier to make.

Designing together works best when the process is organized. We help separate emotional choices from practical ones so the ring feels beautiful, wearable, and realistic.

Style Direction

Classic, nature-inspired, vintage, modern, minimal, colorful, or a mix of several directions.

Center Stone

Which gemstone makes sense for color, durability, budget, and daily wear.

Color

How to choose a color that feels personal and still looks right in real life.

Metal

Yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, or another direction that supports the design.

Wearability

Height, comfort, durability, stone protection, and how the ring will feel every day.

Budget & Timeline

What is realistic, where to spend, where to simplify, and how to plan around timing.

Custom Process

From shared ideas
to a finished ring.

Step One

Discovery & Design

The process begins with understanding what you both like and turning those ideas into one clear design direction.

  • Shared Consultation: We talk through style, meaning, practical needs, and how involved each person wants to be.
  • Design Inspiration: We look at examples, references, and previous work to understand what feels right to both of you.
  • Sketching Ideas: Our designers shape the shared direction into realistic ring concepts before moving into details.

Step Two

Gemstone & Metal Selection

Choosing the materials that support the design, the color direction, and the way the ring will be worn every day.

  • Choosing the Right Stone: We compare gemstone options by beauty, color, durability, budget, and daily wear.
  • Trusted Vendors: We provide multiple options from reliable vendors with whom we have longstanding relationships.
  • Custom Cuts: If your shared idea needs a unique gemstone shape, we can custom-cut the stone for the design.
Step Three

3D Modeling & Approval

Seeing the ring in precise detail before it is made, so the proportions, structure, and design choices are clear.

  • 3D Presentation: We create a 3D model of your ring so you can review the design, turn it around, and understand the final shape.
  • Design Finalization: We move forward only after the design is approved and the important details are clear.

This is also the stage where you can continue together, or one partner can take over the final details if you want the finished ring to stay a surprise.

Step Four
Craftsmanship and creation stage of a custom engagement ring

Craftsmanship & Creation

Bringing the approved design to life with careful attention to structure, detail, and long-term wear.

  • Wax Modeling: A wax model is created to capture the details of the design before casting in metal.
  • Expert Crafting: The ring is crafted with attention to alloy, structure, polishing, and precise stone setting.
Step Five

Delivery

The finished ring is prepared for delivery, proposal planning, or the private final reveal.

  • Complimentary Shipping: Your ring is shipped to you for free, anywhere in the world.
  • Lifetime Warranty: All our rings come with a lifetime warranty for peace of mind, with the exception of accidental damage.

★★★★★

I absolutely love my engagement ring from NinaVova! The color of the stone is exactly what I envisioned and my fiancé was able to create a beautiful ring with the expert guidance from Sergey. Exquisite craftsmanship. I am so so happy.

Craig Miranda

★★★★★

Cannot recommend enough! It was great working with Sergey - he was very passionate about delivering not just a ring, but a work of art. Sergey and his team were very thoughtful and creative. He understood immediately the vision I had in my head of this very specific design and was able to bring it to life while also including elements of his own style. It was a joy working together with Sergey from start to finish. Would also recommend his YouTube videos for those wondering how to go about buying an engagement ring.

★★★★★

If I could give NinaVova a 100 stars I would. It’s not easy finding someone to work with you on such a vintage and unique design style. Sergey made it all so effortless! He was wonderful to work with, making the whole process smooth with constant communication. He helped me put words to my vision and made all my ring dreams come true! The final product came out even more beautiful and authentic than I could’ve imagined. I would definitely recommend working with Sergey on whatever ring design your heart desires! Don’t be afraid to push boundaries and think outside the box as Sergey can definitely make anything reality!
