At Lauren B, we specialize in handmaking custom engagement rings in NYC, ensuring each piece is crafted to perfection. Our process includes selecting a ring design, choosing a center stone (natural diamonds, lab diamonds, or gemstones), and bringing your vision to life through expert craftsmanship. Whether you're in New York or designing remotely, we make the process seamless.

Can I customize an engagement ring remotely if I’m not in NYC?

How long does it take to create a custom engagement ring?

The timeline for a custom engagement ring typically ranges from 4-6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and stone selection. If you need a ring sooner, we offer expedited options when possible.

Can I choose my own diamond or gemstone for a custom ring?

Absolutely! We have our own curated inventory of natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, moissanites, and colored gemstones. Our team can help you find the perfect center stone that fits your budget and preferences.
