Custom Rings to Match Your Budget

If you’re worried about the price of a custom ring, you’ll be happy to learn that Carl Blackburn’s bridal jewelry is more affordable than you might expect.

 

At C. Blackburn Jewelers, Carl Blackburn manages everything himself. This hands-on approach means that he personally assists every Ocean Beach customer, and without any additional staff, he keeps operational costs to a minimum.

 

These reduced overhead costs allow C. Blackburn Jewelers to offer diamonds and gemstones at lower markups. This means our custom engagement rings and wedding rings often cost less than the pre-made designer rings you find at large online retailers like Blue Nile.

 

Furthermore, we help Ocean Beach couples save even more by offering options such as lab-grown diamonds or semi-precious colored gemstones like aquamarine, blue beryl, or morganite. These choices maintain the ring’s timeless elegance while being more budget-friendly.

How Your Custom Ring is Made

Creating an engagement ring or wedding ring at C. Blackburn Jewelers starts with a relaxed meeting where you will discuss your vision with Carl Blackburn.

 

During this initial consultation, you can share photos of rings you like, talk about design options, and decide on the diamonds or gemstones to include. Carl will help you align your dream ring with your budget.

 

Once the design is settled, Carl will create 3D CAD drawings for your approval. After you approve the CAD design, a resin model of the ring is made. The lady can try on this model to see how it looks and feels, and any necessary adjustments can be made.

 

The final step involves casting your custom ring in 14-18k white or yellow gold, or platinum. After casting, hand-crafted accents like engraving or milgraining are added, diamonds or gemstones are set, and the ring is polished to perfection.

 

The entire process, from the first meeting to the final delivery of your custom ring, usually takes about four weeks.
