Buying a diamond can be daunting. Our workshops, however, are easier when you make an informed purchase. The factors that go into that decision do not always have to do with what you will read about as a consumer.

If you are not sure yet what you are looking for, I recommend as your first step to set a budget range. Beautiful engagement rings come in all prices, and it will be easier to narrow down the choices with a budget.

I sell diamonds and gemstones to customers participating in engagement ring workshops. I do not require that you purchase a gemstone from me.

Cultured diamonds have become available in gemstone quality only in the past few years. An eco-friendly, conflict-free alternative to a natural diamond, lab-created diamonds are available in white, blue, yellow, and pink. As of 11/09, cultured diamonds are in short supply and cost more than natural white diamond. Natural colored diamonds are extremely expensive.

For those who are not interested in a diamond center stone, there are a great number of beautiful gemstones we can use. I can obtain high quality natural or lab-grown sapphire, ruby, alexandrite, or emerald as well as a number of other gemstones.

As always, if you already have a gemstone or family diamond, you are welcome to set it in our workshop.
