Chevy Chase sits directly on the District line, with The Collection at Chevy Chase anchoring the luxury retail row on Wisconsin Avenue and quiet residential streets running toward Bethesda in one direction and Friendship Heights in the other. Buyers here research carefully and expect every detail of a major purchase to be written down. We built our process for exactly that expectation: a design documented to the millimeter before it exists, and a price documented line by line before a deposit moves.
Many of our Chevy Chase conversations start after a visit to the counters nearby, when a buyer asks how much of a ticket price is the ring and how much is the address it was sold from. Our answer is an itemized quote and a drawing. The stone, the metal, and the making are the whole price, and the drawing settles every measurement while changes still cost nothing.
Recent Custom Ring Projects in Chevy Chase, MD
Oval Split Shank Ring, Chevy Chase Village
This design centers an oval stone measuring 14.00 by 9.50 millimeters, about 5.00 carats, held by four prongs above a split shank band drawn for a US size 5 finger. Twenty four round side stones of 1.70 millimeters run down both arms of the split and total 0.5040 carats, with the band at 1.7 millimeters thick and the stone sitting 8.5 millimeters high. Turnaround ran five weeks from CAD approval to delivery in Chevy Chase Village. Ballpark price for this specification in lab grown diamond sits near $10,900 complete. The split width and stone height set the character of this design, and both were judged on the drawing before casting.
Pear Halo Bridal Set, Somerset
This bridal set pairs a pear shaped center stone measuring 14.00 by 10.00 millimeters at 4.91 carats with a halo of round diamonds and a wedding band drawn in the same file for a US size 7.5 finger in Somerset. The CAD report counts 34 stones at 5.85 carats combined, with the ring at about 4.50 grams and the band at about 2.40 grams in the drawing metal, every row of stones itemized for the buyer to study. Turnaround ran six weeks from CAD approval to delivery. Ballpark price for this set in lab grown diamond sits near $13,600 complete. Drawing both pieces together means the band sits flush from the first day.
Why Chevy Chase Buyers Insist on Seeing the Drawing First
We approve nothing by photograph. Every design our buyers consider arrives as a full CAD drawing with a printed spec sheet: stone dimensions, band width and thickness, setting height, total stone weight, and a ring size measured in person or virtually and locked onto the sheet. If the halo should sit tighter or the band should run slimmer, we change the drawing, and changes on paper cost nothing.
Working at a distance changes none of the proof. Virtual clients meet us by video call, receive a ring sizer kit by mail, and confirm the size with us on a follow up call before the CAD sheet locks, with an existing ring measured as a cross check. We review the drawing together on a shared screen call, send photographs and video of the actual stones digitally, and deliver in person locally or by insured, tracked, signature required shipping. The quote works the same way on both tracks, itemized in writing as stone, metal, and making, with a deposit at CAD approval and the balance due at delivery.

Questions From Chevy Chase Buyers
Can we see the ring design before committing to it?
Yes. The CAD drawing and its printed spec sheet come before manufacture, and revisions are free while the ring is still a drawing. Nothing is cast until the sheet carries your approval.
What does a custom ring cost here compared with the avenue counters?
Our lab grown designs most often land between $2,800 and $7,500 complete and natural diamond designs between $6,500 and $18,000 complete, with the quote itemized so the comparison against any counter is made on the ring alone.
How long should we plan before a proposal date?
Plan five to seven weeks in total. We map your date against the manufacture window at the first consultation and flag any design that needs simplifying to protect the day.
Send us the style you have in mind and the date you are working toward, and we will reply with consultation times near Wisconsin Avenue, in person or by video call. Bring photographs, a wish list, a family stone, or only questions.
