Adding Diamonds

Here at Todd Alan Studios we do not have engagement rings that are mass produced and in stock. We’re here to help you create the perfect ring for you, specifically, and we want you to be part of the design process. Since every ring is completely unique, one-of-a-kind, and handmade, you make every choice; from selecting the braid, to choosing the metals, to picking the perfect stone. We make you a unique piece of art that will last for generations to come. Adding diamonds to any Todd Alan ring is as simple as clicking a button below. 

All of Todd’s braids can be turned into an engagement ring by adding a diamond and selecting a setting. We encourage you to look around and search for the right braid first, however please keep in mind we do not mount our stones in silver. You can look at our complete selection of braids by clicking here. Once you have found the perfect braid, you’ll need to pick a setting. For round diamonds we have Bezel and Prong settings, and for princess cut diamonds we have the V setting. After picking your setting, the last step is to select a diamond. Look below and find the right quality and size diamond. We’ll do the rest and create the ring you’ve envisioned.

Todd can set a diamond you already have, you can choose from our selection, or he can handpick a diamond for you after a consultation. Todd will then personally select the best diamond for you based on your needs.

If you have any questions, please contact us. We are more than happy to speak with you about diamond qualities, pricing, and general diamond information.

Lab-grown Diamonds

Lab-Grown Diamonds are actual diamonds not simulants. They are genuine diamonds that scientists create in a lab instead of being mined in the earth.  They start with rough crystals and are grown using either HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) — sometimes both methods. Lab-Grown Diamonds can cost 30-50% less than Natural Diamonds.

One of the beautiful things about lab-grown diamonds are that they are conflict free and all of them are VS quality or above and F+ color! 

We are committed to selling diamonds ethically and with integrity, giving you confidence in the diamonds you purchase. We believe it is completely unacceptable to tolerate conflict diamonds and/or human suffering in any way. 

All our lab-grown diamonds are: 

  • Sold with a statement from the seller (known as a warranty) on all invoices guaranteeing that the diamonds being sold are conflict-free.
  • F+ or above in color and VS or above in quality. 
  • All our lab-grown diamonds come with a certification if they are .5ct of above. 

Natural Diamonds

Todd uses only the highest quality, conflict free diamonds in his rings. We do not typically offer any diamonds under a G-H SI1 grading. Explore our different qualities and cuts. We specialize in princess cut or brilliant round cut though we can get other shapes if requested.

 All our natural diamonds come with certification. If you would like any diamond above a 1ct please call us and we will send you individual options.

Conflict Free, Our Commitment to You

We are committed to selling diamonds ethically and with integrity, giving you confidence in the diamonds you purchase. We believe it is completely unacceptable to tolerate conflict diamonds and/or human suffering in any way and we fully support the Kimberley Process.

All rough and polished diamonds sold by Todd Alan Studios comply with the Kimberley Process. The Kimberley Process ensures that rough diamonds are:

  • Exported and imported with a government validated Kimberly Process certificate stating the diamonds are conflict-free.
  • Transported between signatory countries in a sealed and tamper-proof container.
  • Sold with a statement from the seller (known as a warranty) on all invoices guaranteeing that the diamonds being sold are conflict-free.
