A Settled Community That Reads the Fine Print
Aspen Hill sits along the Connecticut Avenue corridor between Rockville and Silver Spring, a settled residential community where Aspen Hill Park and its trails are part of daily life and engagements are often family events as much as private ones. Buyers here research thoroughly before they spend, and they ask to see the numbers behind a purchase. That suits us. Our process gives a buyer a printed spec sheet to study at the kitchen table: stone dimensions, band width, setting height, total stone weight, and a ring size measured properly. Nothing about the ring is left to a catalog photograph or a size chart on a website.
Recent Custom Ring Projects in Aspen Hill, MD
Oval Split Shank in Aspen Hill Manor
We drew this ring around an oval center stone measuring 14.00 by 9.50 millimeters and weighing about 5.00 carats, set above a split shank band carrying 24 round side stones of 1.70 millimeters totaling 0.5040 carats. The band measures 1.7 millimeters thick and the stone sits 8.5 millimeters high, drawn for a US size 5 finger. Drawn for a buyer in the Aspen Hill Manor area. Turnaround: 5 weeks from CAD approval to delivery. Ballpark price: about $8,600 complete in lab grown stones set in 14k white gold. Case note: on a smaller hand the split shank matters, because it divides the band visually and keeps a large oval in proportion, a judgment the buyer made from the drawing long before casting.
Pear Halo Bridal Set Near Bauer Drive
We drew this bridal set around a pear shaped center stone of 14.00 by 10.00 millimeters at 4.91 carats, framed by a halo of round diamonds, with the wedding band drawn in the same project for a US size 7.5 finger. The CAD report counts 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 near Bauer Drive. Turnaround: 6 weeks from CAD approval to delivery. Ballpark price: about $11,500 complete in lab grown stones. Case note: Aspen Hill buyers often want the wedding band settled early, and drawing both pieces together ended the fit question before it could start. Wedding bands drawn as matched sets
Why Aspen Hill Buyers Trust a Documented Process
Careful buyers want verification at every step, and we built the steps to be checked. Consultations run in person in the Aspen Hill area or fully virtual by video call. In person, we measure the size across the table. Virtually, we mail a ring sizer kit, confirm the size together on a follow up call before the CAD sheet locks, and can cross check against an existing ring she already wears. The CAD review happens side by side or on a shared screen call with the same rendered views and printed measurements. Stone photographs and video go out digitally to every buyer before setting. The quote arrives itemized as stone, metal, and making, a deposit at CAD approval starts the bench, and the balance is due when the finished ring is delivered in person locally or arrives by insured tracked signature shipping and is checked against its sheet.

Aspen Hill adds one more specialty often: heirloom stones from long settled families. We measure a family stone carefully, draw the new setting around its true dimensions, and let the buyer approve the complete design before the old ring is touched.

Questions Aspen Hill Buyers Ask Us
How do you size a ring if we work virtually?
We mail a ring sizer kit, then confirm the size together on a follow up call before the CAD sheet locks. If she already wears a ring on the right finger, its measurement works as a cross check.
Can a family stone go into a new custom setting?
Yes. We measure the stone, place it on the CAD sheet at its true size, and draw the new setting around it. You approve the full design before anything is done to the original ring.
What should we budget for a custom ring in Aspen Hill?
Most projects land in the ranges above, lab grown between $2,800 and $7,500 complete and natural diamond between $6,500 and $18,000 complete, and your itemized quote states your exact figure in writing before manufacture.
