How long does a custom engagement ring take to make?

Most custom designs take 4-8 weeks from the initial consultation to the finished ring, depending on design complexity and stone sourcing.

Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?

Walk-ins are welcome for browsing or repairs, but a consultation appointment is recommended for custom design work.

Should I choose a lab-grown or natural diamond?

Both are graded to the same GIA standards. Lab-grown diamonds cost 40-60% less for equivalent size and quality, while natural diamonds tend to hold value better on resale.

Leander Jewelry stands behind its work; issues like a loosened prong or stone are repaired after purchase.
