A Sailing Town Buys Like Sailors Maintain Boats
Annapolis is the state capital and the sailing capital of the state at once: brick streets in the historic downtown, masts filling the harbor at City Dock, the Naval Academy on the shore, and the Chesapeake Bay shaping daily life. It is also one of the great wedding settings in Maryland, and engagements here carry a sense of place few cities can match. Sailors respect maintenance logs and measurements, and Annapolis buyers bring the same instinct to a ring. Our process answers it with a document: a full CAD drawing and spec sheet, approved in writing before manufacture, so there are no surprises between the drawing and the dock.
Recent Custom Ring Projects in Annapolis, MD
Oval Split Shank for Eastport
We drew this ring around an oval center stone of 14.00 by 9.50 millimeters at about 5.00 carats, carried on a split shank band set with 24 round side stones of 1.70 millimeters totaling 0.5040 carats. The band measures 1.7 millimeters thick, the stone sits 8.5 millimeters high, and the drawing was made for a US size 5 finger, presented from the top, the side, and in profile at true proportions. Drawn for a buyer in Eastport, across the Spa Creek bridge. Turnaround: 5 weeks from CAD approval to delivery. Ballpark price: about $8,800 complete in lab grown stones in 14k yellow gold. Case note: approval here was an act of judgment rather than faith, because the spread of the oval and the way the band divides beneath it were visible long before the ring existed.
Pear Halo Bridal Set in West Annapolis
We drew this bridal set around a pear shaped center stone of 14.00 by 10.00 millimeters and 4.91 carats, ringed by a halo of round diamonds with a wedding band drawn to sit against it, for a US size 7.5 finger. The CAD report lists 34 stones at 5.85 carats combined, the ring at about 4.50 grams and the band at about 2.40 grams in the drawing metal. Drawn for a buyer in West Annapolis. Turnaround: 6 weeks from CAD approval to delivery. Ballpark price: about $11,700 complete in lab grown stones. Case note: in a city where the wedding may be planned for a lawn above the Severn River, settling the full set on one sheet early is simply good seamanship. Wedding bands drawn as matched sets
Why Annapolis Buyers Can Start From Anywhere
Annapolis buyers are not always in Annapolis. Midshipmen families, sailing crews, and couples planning a wedding here from across the country start with us in two ways. The local track meets in person in the Annapolis area, with sizing measured across the table. The virtual track runs by video call, with a ring sizer kit mailed wherever the buyer is, the size confirmed together on a follow up call before the CAD sheet locks, and an existing ring measured as a cross check when one is available. Both tracks review the same drawing, side by side or on a shared screen, and both receive photographs and video of the actual stones digitally before setting. The quote is itemized into stone, metal, and making, a deposit at CAD approval starts production, and the balance is due at delivery in person locally or by insured tracked signature shipping, checked against the sheet.

Design language here nods toward the water without becoming costume: clean solitaires, elongated ovals and emerald cuts, yellow gold the color of warm light on the bay, and sapphire accents carrying the Chesapeake into the ring. Engraved details inside the band, a date or a short line, are drawn and approved on the same sheet.
