The Process

How We Design Your Custom Ring

Four steps, all under one roof in Ottawa.

01

The Design Consultation

It starts with a conversation - at our Ottawa studio or over a video call. Bring ideas, sketches, or a Pinterest board. We talk through style, lifestyle, and budget before anything is designed.

02

Diamond Selection & 3D Design

We source GIA and IGI certified diamonds specifically for you. Each one is selected by our Graduate Gemologist. Once you've chosen your stone, we build a precise 3D model of the ring, then print a physical version so you can hold it, with your actual diamond set in place, before production begins.

Whether you're looking for a 1 carat diamond, a 2 carat solitaire, or a 3 carat custom engagement ring, our Ottawa team sources certified stones to match.

03

Made in Our Ottawa Workshop

After you approve the design, everything happens in our own workshop: recycled gold, alloyed in-house, cast, hand-set, and finished by the same team you've been talking to.

04

The Final Ring

Your ring comes with its diamond grading certificate, a complimentary insurance appraisal, and lifetime wear-and-tear coverage - sizing and standard repairs done in the same workshop it was built in.

10/10 Highly Recommend. Our celebrations have kept us busy, making this review a bit overdue. I had an amazing experience at Vero Diamonds. The quality of the ring is outstanding, and she gets compliments on it all the time. The team really takes the time to explain everything without any pressure. You can tell they genuinely care about their product and making sure you get exactly what you want.

We had an amazing experience with Vero Diamonds. We came to them with a very rare request for a Dutch Marquise engagement ring, and Ali and Marc went above and beyond to make it a reality

Another huge thank you to Vero Diamonds! About 2 years ago I got my now wife’s engagement ring and now we just had our wedding and finally get to wear our beautiful wedding bands they created a year ago. For my wife, they were able to match her wedding band exactly to her engagement ring, a now absolutely beautiful set.

We are so grateful for our entire experience at Vero. Ali was our main point of contact and was such a pleasure to work with from the moment we got connected. There was no point where we ever felt pressured, which was a concern for us as the fine jewelry industry can be daunting to navigate.

Common Questions

Straightforward answers about cost, process, and what to expect when you design a custom ring with us.

Quick Answers

How much does a custom engagement ring cost in Ottawa?

Custom engagement rings at Vero Diamonds in Ottawa start at $3,845 for a one-carat lab-grown diamond set in 18K gold. For a natural diamond of comparable quality, prices range from $8,000 to $9,500. Every ring is made for you, designed and crafted in our Ottawa workshop from start to finish, and backed by our lifetime wear and tear warranty.
Read More

Detailed Explanation:

At Vero, custom means your ring is designed with you and made specifically for you, not selected from a case, not shipped from overseas. Every ring is crafted in-house in Ottawa, which means tighter quality control, direct communication, and a finished piece that's uniquely yours.

What moves the price: diamond size and grade, metal choice (we work exclusively in 18K gold and platinum), and design complexity. A clean solitaire sits at the lower end; intricate settings with side stones or detailed bands move it up.

Every ring, regardless of price, is made for you in Canada and comes with our lifetime wear and tear warranty. We cover you for life.

What is the step-by-step process to design a custom ring with a local jeweller?

At Vero Diamonds, designing your custom engagement ring follows four clear steps: a no-pressure consultation, a personalized 3D design you approve before anything is made, in-house crafting at our Ottawa workshop, and a final fitting with appraisal included. The whole process typically takes 6–8 weeks.
Read More

Detailed Explanation:

1. Consultation: We meet in person or virtually to talk through your vision, budget, and preferences. No pressure, no commitment at this stage.

2. Design & Approval: We create your ring in CAD and share full 3D renders for your review. You try on a wax model of the exact ring before we make anything. Nothing moves forward until you say so.

3. In-House Crafting: Your ring is made entirely in our Ottawa workshop. No outsourcing, no shortcuts. You can visit and see the process firsthand.

4. Final Fitting & Appraisal: We inspect the finished ring together, resize if needed, and hand over a professional appraisal, all included, all in one appointment.

How does payment work for a custom ring at Vero?

Simple. A 50% deposit to start your project, and the remaining 50% when your ring is complete and you're happy with it. No credit checks, no interest, no third parties.
Read More

Detailed Explanation:

Every project at Vero begins with a deposit, that's when the work starts. The second half is due when your ring is finished, inspected, and ready for pickup. Nothing leaves our workshop until you're satisfied.

That's it. Two payments, total transparency, no fine print.

How do lab-grown diamond prices compare to natural diamonds in Ottawa?

A one-carat lab-grown diamond starts at around $995. A natural diamond of comparable quality starts between $5,000 and $6,000. The difference is origin, not appearance, not optical properties, not certification. Both are real diamonds. And neither retains its retail value over time. The value is in the union, not the stone as an investment.
Read More

Detailed Explanation:

Lab-grown diamonds are grown in a controlled environment and share the same chemical and optical properties as natural diamonds. At a molecular level they differ slightly, but that difference is only detectable with specialized instruments, never to the naked eye.

Natural diamonds are formed over billions of years deep in the earth. No two are identical. The higher price reflects what it takes to mine, trace, and bring them to market, not a difference in how they look or perform.

At Vero, we work with both. We're here to listen to what matters to you, your values, your relationship, your budget. No judgment, no pressure. The ring is for you. The choice is yours.

Where can I view finished solitaire prototypes before I buy?

We don't carry ready-made stock, but we do bring your ring to life before it's made. At our Ottawa studio, you can try on finished solitaire samples, explore settings with our custom magnetic ring builder, and see a wax model of your exact ring before manufacturing begins.
Read More

Detailed Explanation:

Every consultation is booked in advance and starts with a discovery call so we can prepare the right samples and options for you, not a generic showroom experience.

Our magnetic ring builder lets you mix and match settings and styles hands-on, so you can see what you actually like before committing to anything. From there, you approve a 3D CAD design, then try on a physical wax model of your ring. Nothing moves forward until you're confident.

Detailed Explanation:

At Vero, we specialize in one thing: custom engagement rings and wedding bands. That focus means every part of our process is built around you.

Working with a local Ottawa jeweller means you're part of the process at every stage. Before anything is made, you see your ring through computer-aided designs and 3D renders. You can even try on a wax model of your exact ring before we manufacture it, so there are no surprises.

You know who's making it. You know the quality. And when it's done, it comes with our lifetime wear and tear warranty, because our relationship doesn't end at pickup. We don't carry pre-made stock. Every ring at Vero is made specifically for you, in Canada.
