How We Will Make Your Ring
The tradition of a surprise engagement ring proposal is becoming less common. At C. Blackburn Jewelers, both partners are usually involved from the beginning to create a custom engagement ring that perfectly meets the lady’s expectations.
Carl Blackburn creates a welcoming atmosphere for Oceanside couples, making the design process as memorable as the ring itself. He is always an attentive listener, and will address any concerns you have with care, precision, and transparency.
The process begins with an in-depth discussion of your engagement ring ideas. If you have photos of diamond rings you’ve saved, Carl will review them closely, and ask all the right questions to ensure he has a perfect understanding of your dream ring.
He’ll also discuss with you various handcrafting techniques like filigree, engraving, and milgraining —all of which will be conducted by hand by local, master jewelry artisans.
Once a unique engagement ring design is chosen, Carl will produce a 3D CAD illustration of the custom engagement ring. This is followed by the creation of a resin model that can be worn to see how it looks and feels.
From the initial consultation to the delivery of your Oceanside engagement ring, the process typically takes about four weeks. Get started now by scheduling your first appointment.
The Price of Your Engagement Ring
