Designing a custom engagement ring sounds complicated. Most people imagine it's only for the ultra-wealthy, or that it takes months and a dozen confusing appointments. At Diamond Ateliers, we've built a process that's the opposite of that — clear, personal, and designed around your life. We craft over 80 custom rings every month in Singapore. Here's exactly how it works.
Our Process, Step by Step
Step 01
Free Consultation — No Pressure, No Sales Pitch
We start with a conversation. You tell us about your partner, your budget, and what you're going for — whether you have a clear vision or just a vague Pinterest board. You're speaking with our design team directly — people who know diamonds inside out, not commissioned sales reps working toward a quota.
Step 02
Design & Stone Selection
We present you with a shortlist of stones matched to your brief and budget. You'll see your ring design rendered before a single cent is spent on crafting — so there are no surprises. We source responsibly and can work with both natural and lab-grown diamonds depending on your preference.
Step 03
Crafting
Once you've approved the design and stone, we begin crafting. We update you throughout the process, so you always know where your ring is.
Step 04
Final Reveal & Collection
Your ring is ready. We walk you through every detail — the cut, the setting, the finish — so you understand exactly what you're holding. Most clients describe this moment as unexpectedly emotional. (We hear that a lot.)
How Long Does It Take?
Most rings are completed within 6 to 12 weeks from the consultation. If you're working toward a specific date — a birthday, an anniversary, a trip — let us know upfront and we'll plan around it. We've never missed a deadline.
What Does a Custom Ring Cost at Diamond Ateliers?
Custom engagement rings at Diamond Ateliers start from SGD 2,000. Most couples invest between SGD 3,000 and SGD 8,000 depending on the stone, cut, and setting complexity. You are not paying for a showroom, a mall location, or a commissioned salesperson. Every dollar goes into the ring itself.
We are transparent about pricing from the first conversation. No hidden costs, no upsells, no pressure to go bigger than your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Once a deposit is placed, we use AI-assisted visualisation to render your ring in detail — so you can see exactly what you're getting before a single piece of metal is touched. Crafting only begins once you've signed off on the design.
That's the most common starting point we see. Bring any reference — a photo, a screenshot, a description of her personality — and we'll translate that into a shortlist of designs. We're very good at reading between the lines.
Yes. We work with both natural and lab-grown diamonds. During the consultation we'll explain the difference clearly — including resale value, visual quality, and cost — so you can make an informed choice. No agenda either way.
Yes, SGD 2,000 is our starting point. At that budget you can get a well-crafted solitaire with a quality stone. The consultation is always free, so the first step costs you nothing — and we'll be honest with you about what's achievable at your number.
Yes — our consultations are held in person at our studio in Singapore. It makes a real difference to see the stones and settings up close, and our team can guide you much more effectively face to face. If you're unsure about timing or location, just reach out and we'll work something out.
An off-the-shelf ring is designed for the average person. A custom ring is designed for your partner — her proportions, her style, her lifestyle. You also know exactly what you're paying for, because there's no mall markup buried in the price.
