Custom engagement rings
Start from a blank page or bring an inspiration photo. Either way, the design is built around you. Choose natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, coloured gemstones, or a combination, set in the metal that suits your life: yellow, white or rose gold, or platinum.
Adriana will walk you through stone shapes, settings, and proportions so the finished ring looks the way you pictured it and holds up to daily wear.
Wedding bands made for you
Wedding bands can be simple and classic or completely one of a kind. Options include matching wedding bands, men's wedding bands, diamond or gemstone bands, stacking bands, and contoured bands shaped to sit comfortably beside an engagement ring.
If your engagement ring has an unusual shape or a low-set stone, a custom band can be designed around its exact proportions, straight, curved, or contoured, so the two rings sit together naturally instead of fighting each other.
Explore custom wedding rings and bands and book your consultation when you're ready.
A band shaped to your ring
One of the most common requests is a wedding band made to fit an existing engagement ring. Adriana designs the band around the exact shape and proportions of your ring, including curved or contoured bands that sit flush against it.
A personal touch
The inside of a wedding band is prime real estate. Bands can be personalized with your wedding date, initials, a short message, or even your partner's actual handwriting, laser-engraved into the metal. It's a detail only the two of you know is there.

Heirloom gold and stones
If you have meaningful jewellery, a grandmother's ring, gold that's been sitting in a drawer, stones with a story, it can often be reworked into your wedding rings. The gold can be refined and reused, and existing stones can be reset into a new design. You keep the story; you just get to wear it every day.
Work directly with an Ajax goldsmith
There's no need to arrive with a finished concept. Bring an inspiration photo, an existing ring, a family stone, or just a sense of what you want the piece to feel like. Adriana guides you through design, materials, fit, and finishing herself, and she'll give you an honest read on what your budget can achieve before anything is made.
Based in Ajax at Westney and Rossland, the studio is an easy drive from Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, Brooklin, and Bowmanville.

Wedding ring questions, answered
How long does it take to make custom wedding rings?
Every piece is made by hand, so timing depends on the design, the materials, and the time of year. The best move is to book a consultation early. Adriana will give you a realistic timeline for your specific rings before you commit to anything.
How much do custom wedding rings cost?
It depends on the metal, the stones, and the complexity of the design. That's exactly what the consultation is for: you'll talk through your budget openly and get an honest sense of what's possible before any work begins.
Can you make a wedding band to fit my existing engagement ring?
Yes, this is one of the most common requests. Adriana designs the band around the exact shape and proportions of your engagement ring, including curved or contoured bands that sit flush against it.
Can you use my heirloom gold or stones?
In most cases, yes. Heirloom gold can be refined and reused, and existing diamonds or gemstones can be reset into your new wedding rings. Bring the pieces to your consultation and Adriana will tell you what will work.
Do you make men's wedding bands?
Yes. Men's bands range from simple classic comfort-fit bands to wider statement pieces, in gold or platinum, plain or with diamonds, texture, or engraving.
Can you engrave something inside our wedding bands?
Yes. Wedding dates, initials, short messages, and even handwriting can be laser-engraved inside the band.
