Phase Two

Designed
just for you.

Once we've captured your vision, your ring is brought to life through CAD — a precise 3D rendering tailored to your style. You'll review, give feedback, and refine until every detail feels exactly right — before a single stone is sourced.

Initial CAD design delivered within 5 business days after deposit
Up to 2 revisions included — we iterate until you love it
A complimentary redesign if the original direction doesn't feel right
Digital renders provided for approval before any stones are sourced or production begins
Collaborative refinement process to ensure every detail feels intentional
✦   Additional revisions beyond the included revisions are $75 each. Note that most clients approve their design after the first revision.

sourcing.

IGI or GIA certification for qualifying diamonds
Transparent pricing and side-by-side comparisons

Got questions

Things people
ask us all the time.

How long does the whole process take?+
Most rings are completed within 3–5 weeks from your first consultation. Rush timelines may be possible — let us know your date and we'll do our best.
What's the typical price range?+
Custom rings typically begin around $1,800 for a simple solitaire with a lab-grown stone, and range up to $5,000+ for intricate customizations, side stones, or larger diamonds. We'll work within your budget — not the other way around.
Lab or natural — which should I choose?+
Both are real diamonds — physically, chemically, and optically identical. Lab diamonds cost 50–70% less for the same size and quality. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs so you can decide with confidence.
Can I see the ring before I commit?+
Yes — we provide detailed CAD renders showing your ring from all angles. You'll approve the diamond and the CAD before production begins. You'll never be surprised by what arrives.
What if it doesn't fit?+
Every Bare Carat ring comes with our free resize policy. Fingers change — we've got you covered.
