Where can I buy a Custom College Ring?

“I purchased a custom diamond engagement ring from Brian Gavin Diamonds awhile back, the sparkle of the diamond and the design of the ring is simply superb. My brother is attending college at Stanford University in California, and mentioned college rings, but also that he couldn’t really find a design that appealed to him. I mentioned that Brian Gavin might be able to design and make a custom college ring for him, although I don’t really know if that’s your thing. Based upon my experience, I advised him that the cost of a custom designed college ring will be higher than the cost of a ring that is stamped out by the thousands, but that the cost is well worth the benefits that a custom designed ring provides.”

Brian Gavin custom designs jewelry of all kinds:

Brian Gavin does design custom college rings, and one of the advantages to having a college ring custom designed is that you have more control over the features of the ring, and the quality of the center stone if one is desired. And the ring can take on a different shape than the more traditional designs if that is a preferred feature as well. This means that the custom college ring designed specifically for your brother, can take on practically any shape that he desires, and feature the specific combination of interests and symbols that have special meaning to him and which represent his college experience.

The majority of college rings that I’ve seen are really not designed that well, they are old fashioned in design, and lack imagination. I’m sure that a custom designed college ring would be a welcome option for most college students, and even high school students for that matter. We could even design a custom military service ring or a ring to commemorate somebody’s retirement for work if somebody reading this blog post is wondering…

Time required to custom design a college ring:

I imagine that the next question on your mind is how much time does it take to custom design a college ring. Unfortunately, the answer depends on the time of year, we definitely need the benefit of more time during peak holiday season, which begins in October and lasts through mid-January, because we have more custom jewelry orders to process, and the same amount of staff. We don’t hire temporary help during the holiday season, because we only hire the best, most skilled jewelry designers and craftsmen available.

And there is the matter of putting together the basic concepts for the custom designed college ring, we’ll need to have a really good idea of what the ring is supposed to look like, what special symbols and designs are to be featured on the ring… and time to figure out how to incorporate those features into the design of the ring. A month or two would probably be ideal, since the creation of these rings is actually a bit more involved than designing a diamond engagement ring, but the best thing to do is check with our design department a few months before the ring is needed. Then we can discuss the specific details and needs of the custom design project in more detail.
