Private process
Bring the photo that keeps coming back to mind, even if you do not know the technical terms yet.
1. Send a photo of the style you like, even if the final ring needs to change.
2. Choose whether to compare natural diamonds, laboratory-grown diamonds, or both.
3. Review setting options and decide whether modification or CAD is the cleaner path.
4. Confirm timeline, approvals, and the details that still need verification before production.
