How an Engagement Ring Is Made (Step by Step)

Once you confirm your choice of engagement ring setting, stone, and any extras, our design team gets to work. Here’s an overview of how we craft your ring, from the initial digital design to the final polish.

We use industry-leading CAD software to create a 3D model of your ring. This digital rendering captures every detail of your chosen setting, allowing us to confirm and refine everything before proceeding to the next step. You'll have the opportunity to review and approve the design beforehand.

Once you approve the design, we use advanced casting and manufacturing techniques to bring it to life. Molten platinum or gold in your chosen karat and color (e.g. 18K yellow gold or 14K rose gold) is poured into the mold, creating the foundation of your ring.

After the raw casting has set, our craftspeople carefully clean away any imperfections from the casting process and refine the ring design. This stage is critical: a flawless foundation ensures that every subsequent step, from stone setting to final polish, can be executed to the highest standard.

This is where your ring truly comes to life. Each diamond and accent gem is hand-set by our skilled artisans to ensure perfect alignment, maximum light reflection, and long-term security. For Keyzar engagement rings with extra diamond detailing, such as hidden halo, pave and side stones, we make sure that the finished product highlights the beauty of your chosen center stone.

Once the stones are in place, your Keyzar engagement ring enters its final design phase. Here’s what happens at this stage:

• Our team polishes the surface to a brilliant, mirror-like shine. 

• White gold pieces are plated with rhodium (a precious metal in the platinum family) for an extra-bright and tarnish-resistant finish. 

• Custom engravings and other personal touches are carefully completed.

By the end of this process, your engagement ring is fully refined, polished, and ready to be cherished for a lifetime. Whether you’ve chosen a solitaire engagement ring or a more elaborate three stone design, you can always expect premium quality in your finished product.

Before your ring leaves our studio, our quality control team examines it to confirm that it meets our exacting standards. Only once an engagement ring has passed every checkpoint is it approved, packaged, and prepared for shipment to you.

That's the Keyzar promise: a ring made with intention, crafted with devotion, and as extraordinary as the moment it's meant for. Because when you open that box, nothing else will do.

FAQS

Most custom engagement rings take two to four weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the design and what type of center stone you would like. During a consultation, we can go over your preferences with you and give you an overall idea of what to expect.

We create a wide range of engagement ring types, from classic solitaire bands like The Kamellie to vintage rings like The Amber and nature-inspired pieces like The Twig. We also offer bezel as well as prong designs. If you have a special vision in mind, we can likely accommodate you, so contact us for more info!

Yes, most engagement rings can be resized after purchase. Any ring you buy from us can generally be resized free of charge within 12 months after it was shipped to you. Please note that any resizing done by a third party (without consulting us first) will automatically void your warranty, so please discuss your needs with us. If you aren’t sure of your ring size, we can provide you with a sizer.

At Keyzar, we offer an extensive diamond collection, featuring thousands of natural diamonds and lab diamonds, as well as Moissanite and lab emeralds and sapphires. We may be able to get different stones upon request, so be sure to ask!!

You can clean your engagement ring at home using mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush, but it’s best to have a jeweler professionally inspect it once or twice a year. Regular cleaning, safe storage, and occasional professional inspections help maintain the diamond’s brilliance while keeping the stones secure. 

Yes. Keyzar offers flexible payment options through providers like Shop Pay and Klarna at checkout, making it easier to spread out the cost of your purchase. We also have a short-term in-house payment plan that allows you to split your total into up to three payments. Production begins once at least 50% is paid, and the ring ships once the remaining balance is received.
