Custom Engagement Rings in Naples, Designed With You.

Custom engagement rings from Sakaris Jewelers typically range from about $5,000 to $150,000 and up. The biggest factor is the center diamond: whether it is natural or lab-grown, and its carat weight, color and clarity. Most Naples clients choose a center diamond between 2 and 3 carats. Peter Sakaris works within your budget from the very first conversation, no matter where that number is, and never pushes a bigger stone or extra detail you don't want.

Usually not. Sakaris Jewelers manufactures its own rings, so there is no distributor margin, sales commission or store markup between you and your ring. Clients typically pay thousands less than for a comparable ring at retail, and the ring is designed and made for them rather than chosen from what happens to be in a display case.

Sakaris Jewelers is a private, appointment-only jeweler, not a retail store. The studio is at 3066 Tamiami Trail N, Suite 302, Naples, FL 34103, on the third floor, with parking in front of and behind the building. Appointments run Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday appointments can often be arranged on request.

Once you approve the final design, a custom engagement ring takes about 4 to 8 weeks to make. When a proposal date requires it, Sakaris Jewelers can sometimes complete a ring in 2 to 3 weeks without compromising quality, depending on the design and the studio's schedule. Ask about timing at your first consultation.

If time truly isn't on your side, Sakaris Jewelers can lend you one of its studio sample rings to propose with. After the proposal, you come back together and your new fiancée designs her own ring with Peter. It keeps the surprise intact and means she gets exactly the ring she wants.

The easiest way is to borrow a ring she wears on her ring finger and bring it to the studio, where it can be measured. You can also quietly ask a close friend or family member. If the size isn't perfect, every Sakaris engagement ring includes one complimentary resizing within the first year, where the design allows. See the ring sizing guide for more tips.

Your first consultation is always with Peter Sakaris, the founder, and takes about 30 minutes to an hour. You talk through her style, the metals she wears every day, the diamond shapes she loves, her lifestyle, any inspiration photos, your budget and your timeline. You can come alone to plan a surprise or come as a couple. Consultations are available at the Naples studio or by video.

Yes, and it's one of the best ways to start. Bring as many photos as you like, including rings she has hinted at or saved. Peter will identify what she likes about each one and combine those elements into one cohesive design that is entirely hers.

Yes. Before production begins, the Sakaris design team builds ultra-realistic 3D renderings of your ring. At a second consultation you review the renderings and see your loose diamond options in person, usually up to three, so you can compare sizes, shapes or proportions side by side. Nothing is made until you approve the design.

Of course. Most designs are right the first time, but small refinements such as prong shape, band width or setting height are common at the second consultation. Every change is made before you give final approval, and production only starts once you are completely happy.

Natural and lab-grown diamonds are both real diamonds, with the same chemical composition, hardness and brilliance. Natural diamonds formed deep in the earth over billions of years and are rare; lab-grown diamonds are created with advanced technology and cost significantly less for the same size and quality. Sakaris Jewelers works with both and advises on both options honestly with no agenda in either direction.

Yes. Sakaris Jewelers makes lab-grown diamond engagement rings for Naples couples, designed with Peter Sakaris at the private Naples studio. Every lab-grown center diamond comes with an IGI grading report, is sourced to your exact shape, size, color and clarity, and is set in a ring made with the same craftsmanship as a natural diamond ring. Lab-grown diamonds typically let you choose a larger or higher-grade center stone for the same budget.

Yes. Every center diamond comes with an independent grading report: GIA (Gemological Institute of America) for natural diamonds and IGI (International Gemological Institute) for lab-grown diamonds. Peter also evaluates each stone beyond its report, looking at proportions, brilliance and how it actually looks to the eye.

Elongated shapes such as oval, elongated cushion, pear and marquise make the finger look longer and slimmer, while round, radiant and emerald cuts each have their own character. The most popular shapes with Naples clients in 2026 are oval, round brilliant and radiant, with elongated cushion close behind. Peter can show you how shape, length-to-width ratio and carat weight change the look on the hand.

Diamonds generally look their most brilliant in direct sunlight, which brings out their sparkle and fire. Sunlight also contains ultraviolet light, which causes some diamonds to fluoresce, usually blue. According to GIA, fluorescence has no widely noticeable effect on the vast majority of diamonds, and only in very rare cases does very strong fluorescence make a diamond look hazy. Fluorescence is listed on every grading report, and Peter reviews it when sourcing your diamond.

All three are excellent. 14K gold is very durable and a great everyday choice. 18K gold contains more pure gold, giving a richer yellow color. Platinum is naturally white, dense and secure, and many clients choose a platinum head to hold the diamond on a yellow gold band, a two-tone combination that is very popular in Naples. Because every ring is custom, any combination is possible.

Comfort is designed in from the start. Peter considers setting height, band width, prong style and how the ring will be worn day to day, whether she plays golf, tennis or pickleball, spends time on the water, or works with her hands. A lower setting or a slightly wider band can make a big difference without changing the look.

It can. If a flush fit matters to you, it is built into the engagement ring design from the beginning, considering the setting height, basket and gallery. Sakaris Jewelers also makes custom wedding bands to match each engagement ring perfectly.

Absolutely. A hidden halo under the center stone, a birthstone tucked into the setting, an engraving inside the band or another sentimental detail are all possible, and they are what make a custom ring truly one of a kind.

Yes, Sakaris Jewelers is happy to design a new engagement ring around a family diamond or heirloom stone. Peter first examines the stone in person to confirm what it is and its condition, and will tell you honestly whether it is suited to the design before any work begins. Older stones can carry hidden stress or tiny fractures from years of wear that no inspection can fully detect, so family stones must be insured by the client before setting work begins.

A 50% deposit begins production once you approve the design, and the balance is due when you receive your ring. Some clients choose to pay in full up front, but only the 50% deposit is required. Credit card, PayPal, bank wire and Zelle are accepted.

Every Sakaris engagement ring comes with its diamond grading report and an appraisal from an independent appraiser for insurance purposes. Ownership also includes one complimentary resizing within the first year, a complimentary cleaning once a year, and prong checks whenever you like. Manufacturing defects are covered for one year from delivery.

Yes. Many seasonal residents start with a virtual consultation by video from home, then see the renderings and diamonds in person once they arrive in Naples. One recent couple from Chicago designed a 30th anniversary ring this way.

Because every ring is made to order for one client, custom pieces can't be returned. That's why you approve the design and diamond at every stage before production begins. Manufacturing defects are covered for one year from delivery. Full details are on the return policy page.
