San Marcos Engagement Rings

Custom Jewelers Serving San Marcos, CA

Custom Rings & Bridal Jewelry

C. Blackburn Jewelers invites San Marcos couples to visit our California jewelry store to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind engagement ring, custom wedding band, and other fine jewelry.

 

An original custom ring is a brilliant way to celebrate and honor your love story — as it will be created to wonderfully match your vision for the perfect ring, rather than being a generic ring that has been mass produced for the public.

 

You’ll work closely with La Jolla jewelry designer Carl Blackburn, an internationally recognized ring designer who now works exclusively with local couples to create heirloom quality engagement rings and bridal jewelry at an affordable price.

 

Carl has helped San Marcos couples create their dream engagement ring in a wide range of styles: from antique and vintage-inspired to sleek, modern designs where the gemstone or diamond takes center stage.

 

Carl Blackburn’s custom engagement rings are widely known for their handcrafted detailing, which transforms the ring into a work of art. Learn more about these handcrafted accents at the following links:

"Had an absolutely stellar experience with Carl at C. Blackburn Jewelers. My fiancé custom designed his wedding band, and Carl made it come to life. His wedding band looks incredible, and we are so happy with the final product. The ring was completed quickly which was very nice. Carl is very informative and kept us updated along the process. I highly recommend, and will come back again!" - Alexandria H.

Bespoke Jewelry at The Right Price

At C. Blackburn Jewelers, we make bespoke jewelry more accessible to our San Marcos customers by providing a variety of flexible budget options and solutions.

 

Your custom-made piece, be it an engagement ring, eternity band, or diamond earrings, will be crafted to align exactly with how much you want to spend, with never any cost over-runs.

 

A common misconception is that bespoke diamond rings and fine jewelry come with a heftier price tag compared to standard offerings from San Marcos jewelry stores or online giants like James Allen and Blue Nile.

 

Although C. Blackburn Jeweler’s bespoke pieces may involve higher design fees, Carl Blackburn lowers the overall expense by providing better prices for natural diamonds, lab-grown alternatives, and precious stones such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds.

 

He is able to provide lower pricing because of his extensive connections in the wholesale gemstone market and his streamlined business model, which incurs overhead costs that are lower than many San Diego jewelry stores.

 

Carl’s greater efficiency and expertise allows him to apply minimal markups on diamonds, precious gems, and the handcrafting of your bespoke jewelry.

 

Reach out now to arrange a personal consultation with Carl Blackburn. You’ll find him to be laid-back, friendly, and enthusiastic to hear about the custom ring or fine jewelry you would like to make.

 

The Custom Ring Design Process

Our San Diego jewelry store provides San Marcos couples with a friendly atmosphere in which to create the perfect engagement ring. Carl Blackburn will make the designing of your custom ring a memory that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

 

Here’s how we will work together to make your dream engagement ring:

 

1. First Meeting: Talk to Carl about the kind of engagement ring you would like to make, along with the budget you would like to spend. If you have them, you can share pictures of similar rings that you love.

 

2. Looking at Ideas: Carl will check your pictures and listen to all of your ideas and concerns. He also may suggest gemstones or special elements for your ring that you may have not considered.

 

3. Making the Design: Carl will make a photo-realistic CAD illustration of your engagement ring. After you approve this 3D illustration, he’ll create a resin model so the lady can see how the ring looks and feels on her finger before it’s made for real.

 

4. Making the Ring: Our California jewelry artisans will handcraft your engagement ring, hand-set the diamond and/or colored gemstones, and finish it to perfection.

 

This entire process, from first meeting to the presentation of the completed engagement ring or wedding band, usually takes about a month.

 

To start making your perfect ring, call Carl at 858-251-3006 or text him at 619-723-8589.
