How it works

1. A complimentary consultation Your first 30-minute video call is complimentary and comes before any deposit. We talk through the design, the center stone, your budget, and your questions. Come with a Pinterest board, a photo, or nothing at all.

2. We design it together Alyssa develops your design with you, based on our conversations, and refines it with your feedback so you can see the idea take shape.

3. We source your diamond We source a diamond for your ring, lab-grown or natural, through trusted partners, and walk you through real options.

4. You approve the 3D design We build a detailed 3D design of your ring. Nothing goes into production until you approve it.

5. Finished, approved, delivered Once the required design and diamond approvals are complete, your ring is typically finished in 4–6 weeks. We send final videos of the finished ring for your approval, then collect the final payment. We ship via FedEx, insured, with a signature required.

Our story

Alain and Alyssa, founders of DMND Ave

Lab-grown or natural, we'll help you choose

We work with both, and we don't push either. Both are real diamonds, graded on the same 4Cs. The right choice depends on what matters most to you: origin, size, specific grading priorities, or how you want to spend your budget across the stone and the setting.

On the call, we'll walk you through the trade-offs for your ring and show you real options for either path.

Pricing

Custom projects start at $3,000. Most of the engagement rings we design are between $5,000 and $7,000.

Your price comes down to the center stone (lab-grown or natural, size, and grade), the metal, and the complexity of the setting. We'll talk through your budget on the first call, agree on what's included, and design within that range, so you know where the project stands before it moves forward.

Questions, answered

How much does a custom engagement ring cost?

Custom projects start at $3,000, and most engagement rings are between $5,000 and $7,000. The center stone drives most of the price, followed by the metal and the complexity of the setting.

How long does it take?

Typically 4–6 weeks once the required design and diamond approvals are complete. If you have a proposal date, tell us on the first call.

How does it work if we're not in the same city?

Everything happens remotely. We meet on video, share your design and 3D renderings digitally, send final videos of your ring for approval, and ship it insured within the U.S.

I don't know much about diamonds. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Many of our clients start there. We explain what actually matters for your ring and help you decide with confidence. If you want a head start, see the 4Cs of diamonds.

Should I choose lab-grown or natural?

It depends on your priorities. We work with both and will walk you through the trade-offs for your specific ring. There's no wrong answer, only the right one for you.

Do I approve the design before it's made?

Yes. Your design is developed with you, and nothing goes into production until you approve the detailed 3D design. We also send final videos of the finished ring before it ships.

How is my ring delivered?

We ship via FedEx, insured, with a signature required. We ship within the U.S. See our warranty.
