- Forming — shape the band round
- Soldering — join the band and attach the mounting with a jeweler’s torch
- Hammer round — true it up and check the size
- File & sand — remove the seam and tool marks
- Texturing — choose a high-polish, satin, or hammered finish
- Stone setting — a professional sets your diamond
- Polishing — bring out the full brilliance
- Inside engraving (optional) — a short hidden message
Who this is for
For anyone planning to propose with something more meaningful than a display-case ring. Most people who build a solitaire here are getting ready to ask the biggest question of their life, and want the ring to mean as much as the moment. Couples travel in from Houston, Austin, San Antonio and beyond to make it a destination worth the trip.
