Custom Creation Process

Personalised Design Consultation

Your personal Monty Adams Concierge will visit at a location and time convenient to you to discuss the overall look and vision for your dream ring. From setting and metal choices to diamond and gemstone selections, we can help you navigate the choices including budget and lifestyle considerations.  At Monty Adams Jewellery, the timeline for the initial design stage can be as personalised as the ring itself! We work at a pace you’re comfortable with ensuring an enjoyable and stress-free process. Here is the process of how to design your custom engagement ring:

Melbourne Custom Engagement Ring Consultation

1. Book a consultation appointment with us.

 

2. Think about the overall style and shape of the ring you envision and any special touches to be included. Have any important references with you.

 

3. Choose your diamond or gemstones and which metal you want.

 

4. Discuss any timeline or budget considerations that are important.

Ring Creation

Bringing your custom, one-of-a-kind engagement ring to life typically takes 3-6 weeks depending on the intricacy level of the ring, material availability and the type of make chosen. If it hasn’t already been completed as part of your design consultation, an assessment of your design will be carried out to determine whether a handmake or computer-aided design (CAD) will be best for your individual circumstances. Here is a behind-the-scenes look into the production process for CAD designs:

1. For designs using CAD, this is the first step in the production process. A scaled technical drawing is created, marrying the ring’s design and structural components.

 

2. From there you can review the rendered images, give feedback on the initial design, and make adjustments if needed.

 

3. Your ring is cast in your chosen metal and the mount is given to the jeweller for a stringent quality assurance check before further work is carried out.

 

4. The jeweller then hand assembles the individual pieces and manually finishes the casting to the perfect size and shape.

 

5. Your chosen diamond or gemstone, and any other accent stones, are then expertly set into your ring before the jeweller gives your ring its final polish and check to ensure it looks perfect for your proposal.

Diamond Set Band (Pavé) Engagement Rings

Create a band of opulence and sparkle

Diamond band engagement ring settings (Pavé) are close set small, with several gemstones or diamonds in a shared claw settling accentuating the beauty of the main, centre stone.

 To achieve an aesthetically beautiful, neat overall look, buyers often choose a silver or white gold band,
which assists with the bead, diamond and stone settings and provides a visually pleasing band of sparkle. The minimal metal or prongs visibility adds and accommodate the overall beauty,
look and brilliance.
The continuous scintillation of the additional diamonds presents the illusion that the diamonds are larger and more plentiful offering exuberance in a classic,
streamlined and definitive way. Traditional diamond bands are more difficult to resize,
therefore it is imperative that you get a customised ring size fitting when considering this setting. Due to the setting and the many small diamonds,
the ring can be harder to clean and less durable. Therefore, we recommend you use a professional ring cleaning service.
