Custom Engagement Rings, Designed Around Your Love Story.
Not chosen from a showcase. Not pulled from inventory. Designed together, from a blank canvas, exactly the way it should be.

She has worn the same ring every day since the moment you gave it to her. It deserves to be exactly right.
At Sakaris Jewelers, we believe the engagement ring should be as unique as the relationship it represents. Not a ring someone else chose from a catalog. Yours. Built around her personality, her taste, and your story.
We sit down with you, in our private Naples studio or by video from anywhere in the United States, and we design it together from a blank canvas. The diamond. The setting. The metal. Every detail decided with intention.
Not sure where to start?
That is exactly what the consultation is for. Most clients come in with a feeling, not a plan. We ask the right questions and take it from there. The first conversation is always free and never pressured.
Book a free consultation →A Private Jeweler, Not a Jewelry Store
We are not a jewelry store. We are your jewelers.
When you walk into a traditional jewelry store, you are met by a salesperson. Their job is to show you what is already in the case. The rings were made by someone else, marked up significantly, and presented as if they were designed for you. They were not.
At Sakaris Jewelers, you work directly with us. We are the jewelers and the manufacturers. There is no middleman, no inventory markup, no commission pressure. Just an honest conversation about what you want and the expertise to build it.
- ✓ Work directly with the jeweler, not a salesperson
- ✓ No showcase. No inventory. No pressure.
- ✓ Every ring designed from a blank canvas, for you specifically
- ✓ Manufacturer pricing, not retail markup
- ✓ Honest diamond guidance, not commission-driven advice
- ✓ Private consultation, in Naples or virtually nationwide
The Sakaris Process
How the Custom Engagement Ring Process Works
Seven steps. One ring. Completely yours.
A collaborative, pressure-free journey from first conversation to the moment you open the box.
Discovery
We begin with a private consultation in our Naples, Florida studio or virtually from anywhere in the United States. We learn about her, her style, her preferences, and what this ring means to you both.
Education
We walk you through diamonds, metals, settings, and options with complete transparency and zero pressure. You leave knowing exactly what you are deciding and why.
Curated Diamond Sourcing
We personally source diamonds, natural or lab-grown, that match your priorities. We hand-select stones for exceptional cut, brilliance, and fire. Not just stones that match a spec.
Design Direction
Together we define every detail, the silhouette, the setting, the metal, the band profile. We discuss inspiration images, sketch concepts, and refine until it feels exactly right.
CAD Renderings & Revisions
You see your ring before a single tool is lifted. We produce detailed 3D renderings and revise as many times as needed until you are completely satisfied with every detail.
Production & Sizing
For in-person clients, we confirm your finger size at the studio before production begins. For remote clients, we send a professional ring sizing kit to your home at no charge and walk through the process on a video call. Production typically takes four to eight weeks once you approve the design.
Delivery
Your finished ring is inspected and delivered in person at our Naples studio, or shipped fully insured with signature confirmation anywhere in the United States.
The first conversation is always free and never pressured.
Schedule Your ConsultationEvery Style, Every Vision
Custom Engagement Ring Styles
We can build anything you can imagine. If you have a reference image, we can recreate it with your diamond and specifications. If you have only a feeling, we can translate that into a design. If you have no idea yet, that is completely fine. That is what the consultation is for.
Solitaire
Timeless. Elegant. The diamond speaks for itself with nothing to compete for attention.
Hidden Halo
A halo of diamonds tucked beneath the center stone. Subtle sparkle from every angle.
Pave Band
Diamonds lining the band for continuous brilliance from every direction.
Three Stone
Past, present, and future. A setting rich in symbolism and visual presence.
Cathedral Setting
Elevated arches that frame the center stone with architectural elegance.
Toi et Moi
Two stones. Two people. One of the most romantic and distinctive settings in jewelry.
Cigar Band
A bold, wide band statement. Architectural confidence for the client who wants something unmistakably distinctive.
Completely Custom
No reference, no template. Just your vision and our expertise building something entirely original.
Popular diamond shapes for custom engagement rings include oval, round brilliant, emerald cut, radiant cut, elongated cushion, pear shape, princess cut, marquise, and asscher cut. Oval, round brilliant and radiant cut engagement rings are among our most requested styles, with elongated cushions close behind. Every shape has a different personality and we help you find the one that feels like her.
Discuss Your StyleDiamond Philosophy
Natural vs Lab-Grown Diamonds for Engagement Rings
Honest guidance. No agenda. Just the right diamond for you. Most jewelers push one type of diamond because they hold inventory. We hold no inventory. We educate you on both options and let you decide what is right for your priorities.
Natural Diamonds for Engagement Rings
Rare. Timeless. Irreplaceable.
Formed deep within the earth over billions of years, no two natural diamonds are identical. They carry a rarity and romance that has made them the symbol of lasting love for generations.
- ✓ GIA grading report with every center diamond
- ✓ Any color, clarity, and cut sourced to your priorities
- ✓ Hand-selected for exceptional brilliance and fire
- ✓ Personally reviewed, never just matching a spec
- ✓ Fluorescence reviewed on every stone
- ✓ Long-term value retention
The classic choice for clients who value rarity, tradition, and the story behind the stone.
Lab-Grown Diamonds for Engagement Rings
Real Diamonds. Modern Choice.
Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. They are not simulants. They are real diamonds, grown in a controlled environment rather than mined from the earth.
- ✓ IGI grading report with every center diamond
- ✓ Color, clarity and cut chosen to your priorities
- ✓ Sourced to your exact shape, size and ratio
- ✓ Maximize size and quality within budget
- ✓ Indistinguishable to the naked eye
The intelligent choice for clients who want exceptional quality and size while allocating more budget toward the setting and experience.
We do not source the cheapest diamond that matches your specs. We source the best one.
Two diamonds can share identical grading certificates and look completely different in person. Cut quality, light performance, and the subtle characteristics of each stone affect how it looks on her hand every day for the rest of her life. We hand-select every stone we recommend with that in mind.

Working with Peter and his team at Sakaris Jewelers was an outstanding experience from start to finish. They made the entire process feel personal and effortless, and the engagement ring turned out absolutely perfect. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are exceptional. It made the proposal a moment we'll never forget, and I couldn't be happier with how everything came together.
Nelson Nogier, NHL Hockey Player
My fiance recently worked with Sakaris Jewelers to design my custom engagement ring. He described the experience of working with Peter on the design and delivery of the ring as seamless. There was quick turnaround time even though we live remote from their physical store location and Peter expertly handled any of the complexities that arose related to this. To say I am absolutely in love with my engagement ring would be an understatement, we cannot recommend Sakaris Jewelers enough!
Justine T., Remote Client
Peter at Sakaris Jewelers was absolutely amazing in helping me create the most incredible engagement ring for my fiancee. His knowledge and expertise were invaluable, and he guided me through every step of the process with such care and attention to detail. The final result is beyond anything I could have imagined, and my fiancee is over the moon with her ring.

FAQ
Engagement Ring Questions, Answered
Everything you want to know before your first conversation with us.
We recommend starting about eight to twelve weeks before your target proposal date. Design and diamond sourcing usually take a week or two, and production takes about four to eight weeks once you approve the design. If your timeline is tighter, reach out: a two to three week rush is sometimes possible, and for very short timelines we can lend you a studio sample ring to propose with, so she can design her own ring with us afterward.
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. The difference is origin. Natural diamonds formed over billions of years beneath the earth. Lab diamonds are created in a controlled environment over weeks. Natural diamonds carry rarity and tend to hold their value better. Lab diamonds allow clients to maximize size and quality within a given budget. We advise on both options honestly with no agenda in either direction.
Custom engagement rings at Sakaris Jewelers typically range from about $5,000 to $150,000 and up, depending mostly on the center diamond (natural or lab-grown, and its carat weight, color and clarity), the metal and the design. We work within your budget from the very first conversation, no matter where that number is. Because you are working directly with the manufacturer rather than a traditional retailer, the dollars you invest go toward the diamond, the craftsmanship, and the design, not toward store overhead, commissions, and brand premiums.
Absolutely. We work with clients across the United States entirely remotely. We consult over FaceTime or Zoom, present diamond options virtually, send a professional ring sizing kit to your home, and ship the finished ring fully insured with signature confirmation. Learn more about how a virtual consultation works.
Yes. Our private, appointment-only studio is at 3066 Tamiami Trail N, Suite 302, Naples, FL 34103, where Naples couples design their rings in person with Peter Sakaris. See how the process works locally on our Naples engagement rings page.
That is completely fine and honestly very common. Most clients come to us with a general feeling but no specific vision. That is exactly what the consultation is for. We ask the right questions, look at reference images together, discuss her personality and lifestyle, and work backward from there.
Once the design direction is confirmed, we produce a detailed 3D CAD rendering of your ring. You will see exactly what the finished piece will look like from every angle before production begins. If anything needs to be adjusted, we revise the rendering until you are completely satisfied. Nothing goes into production until you have given full approval.
For in-person clients, we take precise measurements during your consultation. For remote clients, we send a professional ring sizing kit to your home and walk through the sizing process together on a call. One complimentary resizing within the first year is included with every ring, where the design allows, in case any adjustment is needed after delivery. Our ring sizing guide has more tips.
Diamond upgrades are available. Many clients start with a diamond that fits their current budget and upgrade years later for a significant anniversary. Because we are the manufacturers and we have the full history of your ring, the upgrade process is smooth. Contact us to discuss upgrade options at any time.
In a traditional jewelry store, you work with a salesperson whose job is to sell you what is already in the case. At Sakaris Jewelers, you work directly with the jewelers and manufacturers, and your ring is designed for you from a blank canvas. The resources that would go toward retail overhead go toward better diamonds, better craftsmanship, and a better experience.
The best metal depends on your lifestyle and personal preference. Platinum is naturally white, dense, and secure around a diamond. 14k gold is very durable and a great everyday choice. 18k gold contains more pure gold, giving yellow gold a richer color. Rose gold is romantic and distinctive. A platinum head on a yellow gold band is also a popular combination. We discuss your day-to-day lifestyle during your consultation and recommend the metal that makes the most sense.
The right diamond shape comes down to her personal style and how she wants the ring to look on her hand. Round brilliant diamonds offer maximum sparkle and are timeless. Oval diamonds are among the most popular today because they elongate the finger and appear larger than their carat weight suggests. Radiant and emerald cuts are crisp and architectural. Pear and marquise shapes are dramatic and elongating. We look at inspiration images together during your consultation and help you identify which shape feels most like her.
Yes, and we encourage it. For in-person clients at our Naples studio, we show you the loose diamond options before any setting work begins so you can examine them and see exactly what you are choosing. For remote clients, we present diamond options with detailed information, grading report details, and our personal assessment of each stone. Nothing goes into production without your full approval of both the diamond and the design.
