The RockHer Custom Design Fee is $1,000.
It covers the work that happens before the ring is ever cast: a private consultation with your designer, a detailed brief built around your diamond and preferences, three CAD design drafts, photo-realistic 3D renderings, and a hand-finished resin prototype shipped to you so you can see the ring on your hand before we touch precious metal.
The design fee is a service fee. It compensates our gemologists and CAD designers for the hours they invest in your commission, whether or not you proceed to production. Once the design is approved, the cost of casting, setting, and finishing the ring is quoted separately and transparently — no hidden markups on metal or stone.
A RockHer custom ring is not selected from a catalog or modified from a template. It is designed in conversation with one of our gemologists, drafted in CAD, modeled in resin so you can hold it in your hand, and then cast from scratch in our Los Angeles atelier — for your diamond, your finger, no one else's.
We have been making engagement rings this way since 1967.
Consultation. You meet with your designer by video. We discuss your diamond, your partner's hand, the silhouette you have in mind, and the practical questions that matter — comfort, durability, how the ring will wear over decades.
Design. Your designer prepares three CAD drafts. You select one and we refine it. You receive photo-realistic 3D renderings that show the finished ring from every angle.
Resin model. Your design is 3D-printed in resin and shipped to you. You wear it. You live with it. You confirm the proportions are right before any precious metal is cast.
Casting. We cast your ring using lost-wax casting, an ancient technique unchanged in its essentials for centuries. The resin model becomes a mold; molten recycled platinum or gold fills every detail of the design.
Setting and finish. Each gemstone is hand-set by a master jeweler in our Los Angeles atelier. The ring is hand-polished, hand-inspected, and engraved if you request it.
Delivery. Your ring is shipped insured, by FedEx Priority, in a RockHer presentation box.
Total time from approved design to delivery: 8 to 12 business days.
