Designing a Custom Engagement Ring in Davao: What to Expect

Thinking of a one-of-a-kind ring? Here's how the custom design process works at our Davao workshop, from first idea to finished piece.

A custom engagement ring means the design is yours alone, shaped around your partner's style and your budget, not pulled from a display case. If you've never commissioned a piece before, here's what the process looks like at Marico Jewelry.

1. Share your idea

Bring a photo, a screenshot, or just a description: "a simple solitaire," "something vintage," "her grandmother's ring but modern." We'll talk through styles, metals, and stones, and give you an honest sense of what fits your budget.

2. Choose the stone and metal

You can go with a natural diamond, a lab-grown diamond, or moissanite, each at a very different price for a similar look (here's how they compare). For the band, yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold all wear beautifully; we'll help you pick what suits your partner's skin tone and daily life.

3. Approve the design and quote

We confirm the design and final price before any work begins, no surprises. Custom pieces usually take a week or two, depending on the design and stone sourcing.

4. We craft it by hand

Every piece is made or restored to order right here in Davao, no two are alike. When it's ready, you'll check the fit and finish before it's yours.
