Engagement Ring Guide
Dogwood engagement rings are individually crafted through a collaborative design process. First, we establish a timeline and budget, then explore style ideas through sketches. The next step is to choose your center stone, and once selected you will receive an invoice for the center stone, plus 50% deposit for the custom ring quote. Once the invoice is paid, we will send along CAD renderings and from there you will have the option to make minor revisions to the design (up to two revisions included in deposit.) When the design is approved & ring size is confirmed we officially begin production, and Voila ... you will be on your way to engaged!
