How to Design a Custom Engagement Ring: Step-by-Step with Gem Breakfast


Step 6: Appraisals, Insurance & Warranty

If your ring is valued over $5,000, we’ll ask if you’d like an appraisal done (some insurance companies require it). We partner with a third-party gemologist who can complete the appraisal in about a week for $150.

You can also insure your ring through renters/homeowners insurance or companies like Jewelers Mutual, Lavalier, or Lemonade.

Step 7: Delivery

Your ring ships fully insured with FedEx or UPS (signature required). Need it to stay a surprise? We can ship directly to a pickup location.

International clients: orders may be subject to duties and taxes based on your country’s import rules. We recommend checking with your local customs office so there’s no surprised at delivery.

Step 8: Optional Engraving

Want to make it even more personal? Add custom engraving—names, initials, meaningful dates, your constellations, your favorite mountain range, your zodiac symbols, a field of flowers – truly the limit does not exist!  

We work with a local hand-engraver here in San Francisco who meticulously etches every mark for an incredibly meaningful work of art you’ll love.

The cost is $12 per character for words and sayings, and patterns cost between $150 and $400 depending on the size and intricacy of the design.
