It All Starts With You

The journey to your one-of-a-kind ring begins with getting to know you! Whether you come to us with a clear idea or just a spark of inspiration, we’ll work closely with you to understand your style, preferences, and the story behind the custom engagement ring you want to create. We talk about the details that matter most—whether it’s the metal type, the shape of the gemstone, or even how you plan to wear the piece every day. This is your chance to bring all your ideas to the table, and we’re here to help you shape them into something beautiful.

If you’re unsure where to start, we can guide you through our collection of unique sapphires and other gemstones, helping you select a stone that fits your style and personality. Our one-of-a-kind sapphires are often the heart of a custom design, and we love sharing their beauty and significance with our clients.

The Art of Design

Once we’ve gathered your ideas and preferences, we move into the creative phase. Here’s where our expertise comes in—taking all the elements you’ve shared and translating them into a design that’s uniquely yours. Our team works diligently to sketch out different concepts or create digital renderings, giving you a clear sense of how your vision will come to life in a custom ring crafted just for you.

We pay close attention to every detail, from the curvature of the band to the intricate setting of the stones. This part of the process is highly collaborative, allowing you to provide feedback and make adjustments. It’s all about crafting something that not only looks stunning but also feels deeply personal.

Sourcing the Perfect Stones

At Melissa Tyson Designs, we believe that the stones are what make each piece truly unique. We specialize in sourcing ethical, one-of-a-kind gemstones, with a particular love for sapphires in all their vibrant, natural hues! Whether you’re drawn to the classic elegance of diamonds or the rich, varied tones of sapphires, we take the time to help you choose the perfect stone for your custom engagement ring or unique engagement ring design.

Each gemstone we offer is carefully selected for its beauty, character, and ethical sourcing. We believe in creating pieces that not only shine but also align with your values, ensuring that your custom piece is as responsible as it is beautiful.

From Vision to Reality

After the design is finalized and the perfect stones have been selected, our master jewelers begin the meticulous process of crafting your piece. Every custom ring we make is handcrafted using sustainable, recycled metals and traditional techniques that prioritize precision and artistry. We take pride in the care and attention that goes into every piece, knowing that it’s destined to become a cherished part of your life.

The creation process can take several weeks, but we’ll keep you updated along the way, ensuring everything is progressing exactly as planned. When your piece is finally complete, it’s a moment of true celebration—the realization of your vision, brought to life with love and craftsmanship.
