THE APSE CUSTOM PROCESS

We'd love for you to introduce yourself and share your hopes with the form below and we will be in touch within 1 week to confirm your spot on our waitlist.
Currently consultations are booked 1-2 months out depending on waitlist volume.
We are always happy to answer any and all questions, so please don't be shy. We cant wait to chat ring design, detail the process and set us up for all that is to come.
During our initial chat, we will cover ring design and gemstone options.
Once we have an initial vision and sketches, we prioritize gem selection so all design decisions consider the stone.
We specialize in lab-grown diamonds and Montana sapphires (green to blue to lilac), but are giddy at the chance to source and design with emeralds, rubies natural and heirloom diamonds, and other precious gemstones.
In order to bring in gemstones to view, we will request a stone deposit of 50% of the cost of the least expensive stone we are considering.
From the info you provide in the form below and the initial concept we established, we will jump into developing sketches and orientations.
The design process details several stages of refinement, and once you feel confident, we will 3D render and/or develop a wax model of the design to give a hyperrealistic view of your ring.
Once the final design is approved, we will move into production and begin the handcrafting process. And voila! Your dream ring is now your real life ring.
The entire custom ring creation process can take anywhere from 8-20 weeks depending.

Your rings are a sacred representation of the intimacy and friendship you've built - and its for no one but yourself. There should be no compromise.

With a combined 10 years of ring making, we are dedicated to using 100% recycled gold, sourcing from vetted suppliers of the R.J.C., hand selecting unique, ethical and mesmerizing gemstones, slowly handcrafting in our PNW studio, and utilizing CAD technologies for a ring that is precise and artful.

FAQs

At this time we work in solid yellow and white gold (14k & 18K).
We love working with many precious and semi-precious gemstones!
We will always recommend gemstone types that are above a 7 on the Moh's hardness scale as any softer stones have a high risk of scratching or breaking during your lifetime. Alternative gems at 7 and above include emerald, morganite, sapphire, ruby, citrine, amethyst and aquamarine.
Some popular gems that we will not work with include opals, moonstone, turquoise, pearl, and onyx as these have a high likelihood of wear and tear or breakage.
Absolutely, though there are a couple things to note.
We can not re-incorporate stones smaller than 2mm as these are too commonly lost during the setting process (their lightness really makes them jump away at the speed of light). We would just hate to have one disappear.
Depending on the style of ring we are designing and the technical processes needed, we will either be able to melt your heirloom metal straight into your piece, or we can credit you the melt value of your recycled jewelry toward your ring.
This mostly will depend on the design process (ie, revisions needed, etc), but we usually recommend getting in touch at least 3 months before you are hoping to have your ring in hand.
On average, our custom rings take anywhere between 4-12 weeks to fully bring to life.
Our custom engagement rings can range from $2000 - $20,000 depending on a myriad of details. Custom wedding rings typically start at $1000.
Throughout the custom process, we do all we can to stay as transparent as possible when it comes to cost. You can expect around $1000 - $2500 general custom service charge for any custom ring project.
We more than welcome customizations on our current in-house designs!
Want a different stone cut or to use an alternative gemstone? Want to add a couple gems, or take some away? Want to change a width or metal finish? You name it.
Customizations of our in-house designs can run anywhere between $100-$1000 depending on what you are looking for. Feel free to get in touch below and we can answer any questions or give you a better idea of what's possible.
Once you are confident in a concept and we have refined, detailed sketches, we then head into a 3D render stage.
We understand that adding a dimension to previously considered sketches can change things! We allot for 2 revisions at this stage, and any needed revisions or redesigns (post the 2 already alloted) will add $250 to the total design charge.
Our lab-grown diamonds are created by mimicking (on a much smaller scale) the ecological processes that are responsible for the creation of our diamond supply billions of years ago. They are indistinquishable from natural and mined diamonds, but create 1/20 of the carbon emissions. This element of your ring is the most critical to making a more positive impact on the planet and people.
That being said, we do have a mine-to-market Canadian natural diamond supplier that we love to source mined diamonds from!
