★★★★★Excellent experience with Amanda finding an engagement ring for my fiance She stayed within my tight budget, and didn't push me to buy anything I couldn't afford. I felt very well taken care of, and my needs completely met. Found a ring i loved, and got it in a timely manner. Looking forward to coming back for free cleanings and resizings. Great service all around!

Engagement ring FAQ
How long does a custom engagement ring take?
Most custom pieces, including engagement rings, are ready in about 3–4 weeks from first sketch to final polish. Have a date in mind? Tell us up front and we'll plan backward from it.
Is custom more expensive?
In most cases, custom jewelry is similar in price to items you would find in our showcases. The final cost is based on many factors, including complexity, metal type and the quality of the diamonds and gemstones used.
Can you use my old gold and gems?
Yes. You can incorporate diamonds and gemstones with emotional or historical significance into your new ring, and part of the metal can come from jewelry you already own.
Do I need to know what I want before I visit?
No. Some customers come to us with ideas about what they want, but our non-commissioned designers are trained to help you create a beautiful, heirloom-quality piece that reflects your story, personality and style.
What's the difference between natural and lab-grown diamonds?
Natural diamonds are created completely by the Earth; they're the most rare and no two are identical. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and visually equal to natural diamonds, at a lower cost. We also carry clarity-enhanced diamonds and Diamonds From the Air, so the choice is yours.
Is there a deposit for custom work?
Yes. Once your custom project is started, we ask for a small upfront deposit.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer financing with approved credit through Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Synchrony Bank.
What warranty comes with my ring?
Our JF Kruse CareFree Warranty: with proper care and inspections every six months, we provide a free lifetime warranty on our gold and platinum jewelry, including diamond-loss coverage, ring sizing, and prong, bezel and channel repair. Every piece we sell or create also has a one-year warranty.
