Custom engagement rings in Athens
A ring begins with an idea: a silhouette, a favourite detail, or a feeling you want to capture. Explore a personal design with a clear brief, considered choices and a quotation tailored to the piece.
Custom engagement rings connect a personal design idea with a clear specification. If the ring needs to sit with a wedding band, discuss both pieces together before approving their dimensions. Bridal ring sets and fitted bands · Rhino jewellery CAD design

FROM THE BRIEF TO THE NEXT STEP
How the commission works
01
Your inspiration
Tell us what you like, what you would change and the date you have in mind. A short description or reference link is enough to begin; you do not need a finished design.
02
The stone and setting
Discuss whether you would like a stone sourced or are considering an existing stone. Shape, dimensions and the selected setting influence the design. Existing stones need their dimensions and condition checked before a specification is agreed.
03
A clear design brief
Agree the design work, included previews and revision allowance. Metal, ring size, proportions and budget become a written brief. Any early production estimate is distinguished from the final quotation.
04
See and refine the design
Review the proposed CAD views and important dimensions. Discuss appearance, comfort and how a future wedding band may sit beside the ring. Changes are collected against a specific design version.
05
Approve the next stage
Confirm the final design, stone and material specifications, price and timing before commissioning manufacture. A change to a material or setting reopens the affected approval.
06
Delivery and care
Delivery arrangements, any production updates and available aftercare are confirmed in your quotation. Ask about fit support and care before ordering so the full scope is clear.
What to share
- The style or details you like
- Approximate budget and desired date
- Stone and metal preferences, if known
- Whether you have an existing stone
- Ring size, if known
You do not need every detail to start the conversation.
Before you commit
What changes an engagement-ring quotation? Ask for the stone specification and setting to be priced against the same brief: stone identity and measurements, metal and fineness, ring size, proposed band width, design work and revision allowance. A reference image does not establish any of these. If comparing two quotations, keep the stone and material specification consistent before comparing the totals. Ask whether manufacture, setting, any report, delivery and applicable taxes are included, rather than assuming they are.
Before authorising manufacture, record the approved design version and ask how a later size, stone or setting change would affect price and timing. Confirm any resizing and aftercare terms for this particular piece. If you are planning a wedding band as well, mention it in the initial brief so clearance can be considered together. Our guide to comparing bespoke quotations provides a practical checklist.
A few useful answers
Can I begin without knowing the ring size?
Yes. You can start the discussion before every detail is settled. The size must be confirmed through the agreed method before production.
Can I commission only the design?
Ask for a design-only quotation. The agreed files, revision scope and intended manufacturing requirements are established separately.
Is a CAD preview the final manufacturing approval?
No. A preview helps you review the design. Final specifications, commercial terms and the manufacturing quotation need their own approval.
Let’s discuss the next step.
A short brief is enough to begin the assessment. Specifications, feasibility, price and timing are confirmed for your individual request.
Compare the setting around the stone
When considering an engagement ring, separate the stone’s outline from the structure that supports it. A top view helps explain shape, but a side view raises different questions about height, the underside and a future wedding band. If the stone has already been selected, its actual measurements matter more than a general description of size. If it has not, keep that choice open in the brief. Ask for the proposed relationship between stone, setting and band to be discussed before approving the design as a whole.
- Top view: outline, orientation and surrounding space.
- Side view: proposed height and the profile beneath the stone.
- Companion band: straight, shaped or considered separately.
- Specification: confirmed stone dimensions versus an illustrative reference.
