Why ? NinaVova
A Testament to Love
After over 15 years and 600 weddings, I saw a need for change in engagement rings, marked by similarity and diamond size emphasis. NinaVova was born from this insight, inspiring couples to express their love's uniqueness, not through price, but through thoughtful design and meaningful storytelling. Our brand champions creativity, effort, and the individual journey of each love story, reflecting a commitment to go further in celebrating love. NinaVova isn't just about rings; it's about honoring each couple's unique bond and the art of expressing love in its truest form.

How It's Actually Done
Begin Your Custom Journey
Personalized Design Consultation
Our first video call is a deep dive into your inspirations, with guidance on finding the perfect style, answering all your questions, and outlining the next steps for your dream ring.
Empower Your Choice
Gemstone and Design Education
While we sketch your bespoke ring, we provide comprehensive materials on gemstone qualities, metal types, and design elements to ensure you're fully informed and confident in your decisions.
From Concept to Sketch
Detailed Sketching and Collaboration
Based on our initial consultation, within 3-4 days, we craft 2-3 versions of your envisioned design, inviting you to a collaborative discussion to select and refine the best version. A design deposit ($150-$300) initiates this personalized and interactive stage, ensuring the final sketch perfectly aligns with your dream ring.
Your Design in Dimension
Precision 3D Modeling and Review
Transitioning from sketches to precision, we create a detailed 3D model of your ring, showcasing every aspect as it will appear in reality. Within this stage, you'll have the opportunity to view and explore your design in depth, allowing for minor adjustments to ensure every detail aligns with your vision before the final crafting begins. This interactive review process ensures that the ring not only meets but exceeds your expectations, setting the stage for the creation of your dream ring.
Selecting Your Perfect Stone
Responsible Gemstone Sourcing
Concurrently with the 3D modeling, our team embarks on a quest to find the ideal gemstone that breathes life into your unique engagement ring. Adhering strictly to ethical standards, we partner only with trusted suppliers known for their responsible sourcing practices. This ensures that the heart of your ring not only captivates with its beauty but also embodies values of integrity and sustainability. Together, we'll select a gemstone that complements your design perfectly, making your ring truly one-of-a-kind.
Ensuring Excellence in Every Stone
Expert Gemological Inspection
Upon the arrival of gemstones at our studio, each stone undergoes a meticulous examination by our in-house gemologist. This critical step ensures that every gem meets our stringent criteria for quality, authenticity, and ethical sourcing. We verify that the characteristics and conditions of each stone align perfectly with what was promised, guaranteeing that the centerpiece of your custom engagement ring is nothing short of perfect. This thorough inspection process reflects our commitment to excellence and to providing you with a piece that's truly worthy of your love story.
Preparing for Metal Casting
Precision Wax Carving for Casting
Following the gemstone's selection and quality assurance, we move to precision wax carving, an essential preparatory step for casting the ring in metal. This wax model precisely mirrors your ring's design, serving not for physical trial but as a master mold for casting. It ensures that every detail of the design is captured accurately in the metal, setting the stage for the alloy casting process. This careful preparation ensures the final piece will embody your vision with exactness and beauty.
Foundation in Metal
Metal Casting Process
The wax model's journey culminates in the metal casting process, where your ring begins to take its final form. Utilizing the lost-wax casting technique, the wax model is encased in a plaster-like investment. Once the investment hardens, it's heated, melting away the wax and leaving a hollow cavity in the shape of your ring. Molten metal, chosen according to your preference, is then poured into this cavity. Once cooled, the investment is broken away, revealing a metal version of your ring, ready for the next stages of refinement and detailing. This pivotal process ensures that the essence of your design is faithfully preserved in a durable and precious metal.

Precision Meets Brilliance
Securing the Sparkle
This crucial stage marries the elegance of your chosen metal with the radiance of your gemstone. Expert jewelers carefully set the stone, ensuring it's both secure and perfectly showcased within the ring's design. It's a delicate balance of artistry and precision, where the gemstone's brilliance is amplified by its setting, bringing the custom design to its full, sparkling fruition. This step is pivotal in realizing the ring's final, captivating look, symbolizing the beauty and durability of your commitment.
The Final Gleam
Achieving the Perfect Shine
The final stage before your ring is ready to be worn, final polishing gives your engagement ring its ultimate glow. Our artisans meticulously buff and polish the metal, enhancing its luster and highlighting the precision of the design and the brilliance of the gemstone. This last touch ensures your ring not only shines brightly but also feels smooth to the touch, ready to be a symbol of your love story.
Presentation with Perfection
Elegant Packaging & Certification
The final step in our journey, your custom engagement ring is elegantly packaged in a luxurious jewelry box, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. This ensures your piece is ready for its momentous reveal, safeguarded and beautifully presented, symbolizing our commitment to excellence and your unique love story.

REWIEWS
My engagement ring came out so beautifully, just as I envisioned. Sergey was amazing to work with, from suggesting amazing designs to pick from, to taking my input, and great communication along the way. He delivered the ring well in advance too. Highly recommend with great customer service, high quality jewelry, and clear step by step process.
I’ll be the first to admit that I posed and incredibly challenging design to Sergey, and I am happy to say that the final product was everything I had hoped for.
The ring was a big hit with my wife, and the envy of all our friends.
I had a wonderful experience working with Serge from start to finish. I actually met him through a reddit post i made asking about custom ring designs and he helpfully suggested we connect via Zoom (thanks pandemic).
We arranged a time to meet and had a conversation about what my fiance wanted based on her input and my budget. Throughout the process Serge was open to my input, asked amazing questions, and offered advice that I found to be very useful.
If I could give 10 stars I would.
