Sample Ring
Sample Ring
A custom engagement ring, made in our Ottawa workshop and built around the stone you choose.
18K Gold · VVS2 Minimum · Made in our Ottawa workshop
One of five settings we build from. Order it as shown, or start here and change it.
Colour
How little colour the stone holds. D is the top of the scale, E is next — we set both and nothing below.
Clarity
How few inclusions the stone has. VVS2 is near the top of the scale, and it’s our minimum — so it isn’t a choice you have to make.
Diamond shape
The outline of the stone. Shape changes how large a diamond looks at the same weight — an elongated cut covers more finger than a round one.
Carat
Weight, not size. Two stones of the same carat can look different depending on the shape and how they’re cut.
Your ring, made in Ottawa
This covers the metal and the work — alloying, casting, setting, and finishing, all done in our workshop.
Ring size
If you don’t know it, leave it blank. We size the ring before it’s finished, and we resize free for as long as you own it.

Questions
Why only 18K gold?
14K is cheaper and harder. 18K holds its colour, is better to work and to size, and wears closer to what a ring should look like after twenty years. We alloy it ourselves in the workshop, which is why we can hold one standard.
Why VVS2 minimum?
There is no visible difference between VVS2 and something lower to the naked eye — which is exactly why the industry uses clarity as a place to cut cost quietly. We set one standard and price from there, so there is no conversation about what you are giving up.
What does “made in-house” actually mean?
We alloy the gold, 3D print the model, cast, set the stones, and finish the ring in our Ottawa workshop. Not assembled here. Made here.
Lab-grown or natural?
Both. The same standards apply either way. Lab-grown is what most of our clients choose and it is where the value is. We will show you the difference in price and let you decide.
Can I change this design?
Yes. The model is the structure — the shank and the setting type. The stone, metal, proportions and finish are yours. Use the field on this page or book a consultation. Anything beyond the options shown is priced individually.
Is the price shown the final price?
For the ring exactly as configured, yes. Add HST. Changes outside the options above are quoted before we begin.
What happens after I order?
We source your stone, send CAD renders, and give you a 3D-printed model to hold and try on before any gold is cast. Nothing is made until you approve it.

Ali was phenomenal to work with! We had an existing setting for my engagement ring but wanted to change it and him and his team brought my vision to life! They were excellent and professional with all communications and made the whole process feel catered and personal. They really listened to every detail and example I provided and made exactly what I was looking for! So excited to come back and visit them for our wedding bands too. Look no further than Vero for anything engagement because these are your people!

We cannot recommend Vero Diamonds enough! Ali and his team helped us through every step of the design process, answered all of our questions and made us feel super comfortable. From start to finish we had such a great experience and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
