About Made to Order (MTO) and Custom Jewelry
Princess Bride Diamonds | Huntington Beach, CA
Our made-to-order and custom jewelry is designed for those who want to personalize every detail of their piece. From selecting the diamond to refining proportions, metal type, and setting style, each design is crafted specifically for you.
What Does “Made-to-Order” Mean?
Made-to-order jewelry is created specifically for you after your design details are finalized. These pieces are not pre-made or kept in stock.
Each made-to-order piece at Princess Bride Diamonds involves:
-
Diamond selection based on your preferences
-
Customization of metal type, proportions, and design details
-
Precision craftsmanship and hand finishing
-
A production timeline of approximately 6 to 8 weeks
This process ensures your jewelry is built intentionally and thoughtfully from start to finish.
Who Made-to-Order Jewelry Is For
Made-to-order jewelry is ideal if:
-
You want to customize every aspect of your ring or jewelry
-
You are not working with a firm proposal or event deadline
-
You value craftsmanship and personalization
-
You want flexibility in stone selection and design details
-
You are creating a meaningful, one-of-a-kind piece
This option offers full creative freedom with expert guidance throughout the process.
Design Process & Timeline
Design & Approval
Your made-to-order journey begins with a consultation, either in-store or remotely. During this step, we help finalize:
-
Diamond shape, size, color, and clarity
-
Setting style and proportions
-
Metal type
-
Any additional design details
Once the design is approved, production begins.
Production Timeline
Made-to-order jewelry typically requires approximately 6 to 8 weeks to complete. This timeline allows for careful craftsmanship, stone setting, polishing, and quality inspection.
Timelines may vary slightly based on design complexity.

Returns & Modifications

We encourage clients to review all details carefully and ask questions during the design phase to ensure confidence before production begins.
Not in a Rush? Prefer Full Customization?
If you value personalization and craftsmanship and are not working with a tight timeline, made-to-order is the ideal choice.
However, if you need a ring or jewelry quickly, we also offer a curated selection of Ready-to-Ship Jewelry that is fully finished and available without a production timeline.
