What separates a finished commission from an off-the-shelf ring

On this page we look at the piece itself, not the promise around it. Proportion, setting geometry, and how the metal takes its final finish are the things you can actually see once a ring is placed in front of you.

The stone is chosen before it is set

A loose brilliant-cut stone is graded for cut, color, and clarity while it still sits on the tray. You see the proportions and the way it returns light before any prong touches it.

The setting decides the silhouette

A solitaire keeps one stone as the whole story. A halo widens the outline with a ring of smaller stones. A bezel trades a little sparkle for a metal rim that guards the edges.

CAD is a preview, not the result

The model shows band width, prong placement, and how the stone will sit. Between that file and the finished ring, the metal is cast, filed, and polished by hand, and small adjustments happen along the way.

Gold and platinum finish differently

An 18k gold band can take a warm high polish or a softer brushed surface. Platinum holds a cooler, denser look and keeps its finish longer under daily wear.

Prongs and bezels hold a stone in different ways

Four or six prongs leave most of the stone open to light. A bezel wraps the girdle in metal, which changes how the ring reads on the hand and how much of the stone stays exposed.

Eternity bands sit differently on the finger

Stones set all the way around change how a band rests and how it can be adjusted later. That is a craft decision worth understanding before the ring is made.

For background on how these choices are explained in plain language, see our resources and the studio's support pages.

Where the stones and materials come from

A finished ring is only as clear as the trail behind it. Every stone we set is grown in a controlled lab and graded by an independent laboratory, and the metal is sourced from established 18k gold and platinum suppliers. Below are the categories of partners that make that trail readable, without naming arrangements we cannot confirm.

Growth labs

The facilities where each lab-grown diamond is produced. Their documentation travels with the stone, so the origin stays attached to the piece rather than to a tray.

Independent grading laboratories

Third-party graders assess cut, color, and clarity on the same scales used across the trade. Their reports are the reference point we work from when a stone is selected.

Precious metal suppliers

Refiners and dealers who supply the 18k gold and platinum used for bands, prongs, and bezels. Alloy consistency matters here, because it decides how a finish holds up.

CAD and casting workshops

The modeling and casting partners that turn a digital ring design into a physical blank, ready for setting and final polishing.

Stone-setting benches

Independent setters who place prongs and bezels by hand. Their work is what determines how a stone sits and how much of it stays visible once the piece is finished.

Protected shipping carriers

Delivery partners used for shipments across Argentina and for international orders, with shipping protection arranged for the value of the piece in transit.
