Designed with you and handcrafted one at a time — your stones, your vision, a ring no one else will ever wear.
BRING YOUR GEMS & JEWELRY BACK TO LIFE
Let me tell your story in metal.
Have an heirloom or jewelry you no longer wear? I redesign your old pieces and reset your stones into something you’ll treasure — using your own gems and gold.
Stories in Metal
Creating custom jewelry is at the heart of what I do.
I’ve spent decades listening to clients’ stories and turning them into timeless, handcrafted pieces. My goal isn’t to impose my aesthetic, but to uncover the personal meaning that makes your piece truly yours. Let me craft something that reflects your style, tells your story, and becomes an heirloom to cherish.

Custom Engagement Rings, Designed With You
I'm the independent designer and maker behind Lorinczi. I don't sell rings off a shelf — I design and handcraft one-of-a-kind engagement rings with you, from the first sketch to the ring that goes on the finger. No showroom of identical settings, no middlemen. Just you, me, and a ring that means something.

Working Directly With Your Designer
When you commission a custom engagement ring from me, you're working with the person who actually makes it. I've spent years designing and hand-fabricating fine jewelry, and every piece leaves my bench made one at a time. That means you get a ring built around your story and your hand — not a mass-produced setting with a stone dropped in. [YOUR NAME] — add a one-line bio + a photo of you at the bench here; this is the trust signal buyers look for.]
How We Design Your Ring
- Consultation. We start with a conversation — virtual or in person — about what you picture: the stone, the metal, the feeling, the budget. No idea is too vague; that's my job to shape.
- Sketch & design. I turn our conversation into sketches and detailed designs so you can see your ring before it exists. We refine it together until it's exactly right.
- Approve & handcraft. Once you love the design, I handcraft the ring myself, keeping you updated along the way.
- Your ring. You receive a one-of-a-kind engagement ring no one else in the world will ever wear.
Bring Your Own Diamond or Heirloom
Some of the most meaningful rings I make begin with a stone that's already yours — a grandmother's diamond, a stone from an old ring, gold you no longer wear. I can reset and redesign what you already have into a custom engagement ring you'll want to wear every day. It's the same heirloom, reimagined.

Custom FAQ'S
Do you work with clients remotely?
Absolutely! I can collaborate with you no matter where you are. You can expect a straightforward and transparent design process, with involvement every step of the way—from initial sketches to the final creation. With regular updates, photos, and videos, you’ll be part of the entire process, ensuring your finished piece is exactly as you imagined—no surprises, just the joy of seeing your vision come to life.
Consultations are available via phone, video, or your preferred method. Feel free to email me or schedule a virtual consultation to start your custom jewelry journey.
Can I use my own stones in one of your designs?
Definitely! Using your heirloom stones in a new piece is a great way to honor your history and update your style. It’s eco-friendly and cost-effective. To get started, send photos and details about your stones so I can design something that perfectly showcases them.
Please note, I’m not liable for any damage to your gemstones during removal from old settings or the setting process in a new piece. They may have pre-existing wear that affects their integrity. If concerned, you can have the piece designed and fabricated by me, then set by your local jeweler.
How long will it take to make my custom jewelry? Do you offer Rush Service?
The timeframe for crafting handmade jewelry varies based on design complexity. If you have a specific design ready, we can proceed quickly. If you're still deciding, the design stage may take longer. Enjoying the collaborative process without rushing is key.
After finalizing the design, simpler pieces typically take 2-3 weeks, while intricate designs may take up to 6 weeks. Quality craftsmanship takes time but is worth the wait.
If you’re on a tight schedule, please let me know. I’ll do my best to ensure timely delivery and keep you updated with photos and progress reports throughout the process.
For faster options, consider my ready-to-wear collection, which can often be customized quickly.
Please reach out to discuss your timeline needs. Depending on your design, I might be able to expedite the creation.
How do I design jewelry for someone without involving them directly?
To design jewelry discreetly, observe their current style and note the types of jewelry they wear and appreciate. You can also seek insights from their close friends.
If they have distinct tastes, consider involving them to ensure they love the final product and enjoy the process. For surprise moments like engagements, use a placeholder ring.
Focus first on the overall design rather than specifics like gem characteristics. We can refine details like diamond cut or gemstone type later, ensuring a special and collaborative final design.
Can I customize a piece I see on your website?
Absolutely! I can adapt any design to fit your preferences, including changing gems, selecting a different metal, or adding personalized details like engravings. Each modification makes your piece uniquely yours.
If you don't find exactly what you're looking for, I can also craft completely custom pieces inspired by your personal tastes and story. You can be as involved as you like in the design process, ensuring the final piece is a one-of-a-kind heirloom.

TESTIMONIALS
I'm so thankful for my clients, and proud to share in their joy.
–Breanne
“My husband and I are a quirky couple. For our last anniversary he created a handmade Tardis from Doctor Who — see what I mean? Quirky. After he proposed, I began the search for a wedding band that would reflect who we were as a couple; not only the journey we had taken, but where we hoped our path would lead. Finding Stacey was like finding that perfect wedding gown, the one you know you’re going to walk down the aisle in.”
–B.
“After dating only six months, C. and I knew we’d be spending our lives together. However, a formal proposal loomed.. . My grandmother had given me her earring, which led me to the Jewelry Mart to see about repurposing the gems. After they pronounced the rubies cracked and the diamonds too small, and suggested a gaudier token of my affections, I knew I had to find a jewelry designer who could appreciate my grandmother’s contribution.”
–Sarah
Sarah asked me to make something special with a family heirloom: a gorgeous, big blue topaz. The substantial briolette became the focal point of a romantic Edwardian-influenced necklace. The perfect complement to her wedding gown, it hung precisely in the “V” of her halter-neck: “I described it all to Stacey in words that you would never imagine could successfully translate into a single piece of jewelry and Stacey made it come to life."
–Noelle
“I looked into a custom ring because I wanted more control over the outcome and cost. Stacey and I pored over pictures as I tried to explain my vision; at first, there were so many looks that appealed to me that I had difficulty expressing what I wanted. That initial creative process was most beneficial, because she saw what I liked and created a ring that truly spoke to my style.”
–Chris
"The first person who knew I was going to propose, Stacey was a trusted co-conspirator every step of the way — from suggesting strategies for measuring Lyrica’s ring finger, to providing ideas for engagement rings, and ultimately designing the wedding rings we wear every day.”
–Allison
“I might have been the least helpful client a jewelry designer could have, but thankfully, Stacey is incredibly patient and encouraging. With her gentle and tenacious guidance, she coaxed out the qualities I valued, and edited out the superfluous.”
–Jason
“i look at these rings everyday. one iwear everyday of course. they are the most beautiful reminders of not just ourwedding, the fact that we are married, our kids and all that goes with creatinga life together, but also what we want our future together to be, what we wantour lives to be. the rings hold, reflect, and remind us of some of the mostprecious and important ideas of our life together.”
–Mike
"We wanted a custom ring because to us that feels special and unique. We really liked that you met with us, did a little interview to learn about us and then worked on crafting the ring...that feels more 'right' to me than some mass-produced ring. In the end, I got a beautiful, masculine ring that was made just for me. I won't ever see another like it, and it will stay in my family for ever."
–J.
"When Elizabeth approached me to create her rings, she captivated me with her plans to sail the Pacific on an extended honeymoon. It seemed like the perfect way to launch a lifetime of adventure. I get a vicarious thrill every time I see the beautiful photos of her on her voyage across the blue velvet ocean. Have ring — will travel."
–Julianna
“Somehow, Stacey divined all of our years into these gorgeous pieces we’re still so moved to have. I’m a drummer and an artist and a gardener. My fingernails are inevitably a disaster and I’ve barely worn jewelry in my life. So it’s all the more wonderful to feel so enchanted by the rings I wear, to feel that even in their imperishable loveliness, they are so perfectly me.”
