How long does a custom engagement ring take to make at Design Jewellers?

Most custom engagement rings are completed in 2-4 weeks, depending on complexity. Our entire process — from 3D CAD design and 3D printing to casting, stone setting, and polishing — is done in-house at our West Edmonton Mall location, so there's no waiting on third-party workshops.

Do you work with lab-grown diamonds?

Yes, we offer both natural and lab-grown diamonds with GIA and IGI certification. Our in-house GIA-certified gemologists can help you compare options and choose the right stone for your budget and preferences.

How much does ring resizing cost at Design Jewellers Edmonton?

Ring resizing starts at $65 for simple gold bands and varies based on metal type, ring design, and number of sizes needed. We can resize most rings up to 4 sizes up or down. Visit us at West Edmonton Mall for a free assessment.

What metals can you laser engrave at Design Jewellers?
