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

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.

How We Design Your Ring

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Approve & handcraft. Once you love the design, I handcraft the ring myself, keeping you updated along the way.
  4. 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.

What a Custom Engagement Ring Costs

Custom doesn't have to mean unpredictable. The cost of a custom engagement ring depends mostly on the center stone, the metal, and the complexity of the design — and I'll give you a clear quote up front, before any work begins, so there are no surprises. Custom commissions start from around [STARTING PRICE — add your real entry point, e.g. "$X"], and we'll design to your budget.

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.
