Custom Engagement Rings in Grand Cayman

Sit down with the jewellers who will actually make the ring, and design something no one else will ever wear.

Made On-Island

Designed With You, Built at Our Bench

A custom engagement ring does not have to mean months of waiting and mysterious workshops overseas. Our workshop is behind the showroom on the George Town waterfront, and the people you talk through the design with are the same bench jewellers who cast, set and finish the ring. You can bring a sketch, a photo, a family stone or nothing but an idea, and we will turn it into a ring.

The process is straightforward. We start with the diamond or gemstone, because the centre stone decides the proportions of everything around it. Then we work out the setting together, from clean modern lines to nature-inspired bands with leaves and vines worked into the metal. You approve the design before any gold is cast, so there are no surprises when the finished ring comes out of the polish.

Because the work happens on-island, timelines are shorter than most people expect. Visitors staying a week can often collect a finished custom ring before they fly, and simpler projects sometimes turn around in a few days. Everything is tax-free, so a one-of-a-kind ring made by hand in Grand Cayman frequently costs less than a standard ring from a shop at home.

How It Works

From Idea to Finished Ring

Four steps, all of them happening in the same building on the George Town waterfront.

Choose the Stone

Start with a GIA-certified diamond or a coloured gemstone from our cases, or bring a family stone you want reset. The stone sets the budget and the design.

Design Together

Sit with our jewellers and work out the setting, band and details. We will tell you honestly what will wear well and what will not, before anything is made.

Cast and Set

The ring is cast in 14k or 18k gold or platinum and the stones are set by hand in our own workshop. Nothing is sent off the island.

Fit and Collect

We size the ring to the finger it is meant for and finish it at the bench. Visitors often collect their ring before the end of their stay.

Questions

Good to Know

How long does a custom engagement ring take?
It depends on the design, but because our workshop is on-island most projects finish in days rather than months. Many visitors start a ring at the beginning of a holiday and collect it before they fly home. If time runs out we ship the finished ring to you, fully insured.
Can I do this on a cruise day?
You can start on a cruise day. Choosing the stone and settling the design fits comfortably into a port call since we are a short walk from the pier. The making takes longer than one day, so we finish the ring after you sail and ship it to you, or hold it if you are returning.
Can I use my own diamond or old gold?
Yes. Resetting a family diamond into a new engagement ring is some of our favourite work, and it keeps the sentiment while updating the setting. Bring the piece in and our jewellers will check the stone and tell you what is possible.
Does custom cost more than a ready-made ring?
Usually less than people expect. You are paying for the stone, the metal and our bench time, without the markups a designer name adds, and everything is tax-free in Cayman. We agree the full price with you before we start, so there is nothing added at the end.
What if my partner does not like the design?
We design conservatively when the ring is a surprise, and we can always adjust details at the bench afterwards. Many couples come in together after the proposal to tweak or resize. Because we made the ring, we can rework it properly rather than patching it.
