How Long Does It Take to Make a Custom Engagement Ring?

When you’re dreaming of a one-of-a-kind engagement ring, one of the first questions that comes up is: how long will it take?

At Pel & Co., every ring is handcrafted in the USA, designed around your story and the gemstones you choose. While many jewelers take months to deliver a custom piece, our process is streamlined — most rings are completed in about 6–7 business days once your design is approved.

Here’s what the journey looks like:

Step 1: Design Consultation (1–2 Days)

We start with your vision — whether it’s a sketch, a saved Pinterest pin, or an heirloom stone you’d like to reset. Our design consultant walks you through gemstone options, settings, and proportions to ensure the ring fits your lifestyle and story.

Step 2: CAD & Rendering (1–2 Days)

Next, we create a 3D CAD model of your ring. This digital preview allows you to see every angle before we move into production. Small adjustments happen here so that the final ring feels perfect.

Step 3: Casting & Setting (2–3 Days)

Your chosen metal is cast, polished, and carefully prepared. Our master jewelers then set each diamond or gemstone by hand. This stage requires precision and artistry to ensure heirloom durability.

Step 4: Finishing & Quality Check (1 Day)

The final polish, inspection, and quality checks ensure that your ring sparkles as beautifully as your story.

Total Timeline: About 6–7 Business Days

Of course, more intricate designs or rare gemstone sourcing may add time, but most Pel & Co. clients are amazed at how quickly their ring is ready — without ever compromising craftsmanship.

Takeaway: A custom engagement ring doesn’t have to take months. With the right jeweler, your vision can become reality in just days.
