CUSTOM RING CREATION PROCESS

You’ll work directly with founder and designer Alla Bóhdan from your very first conversation until your ring is complete. Bespoke ring doesn’t cost more. It simply means your ring is made specifically for you.

I.

Your vision

We can meet in Auckland, connect by video call from anywhere in the world, or chat via email. We’ll discuss your ideas, inspiration, timeline and budget while exploring what feels most like you.

II.

Designing your ring

Starting with sketches, we refine every proportion, setting detail and finishing touch before creating a precise 3D CAD model for your approval.

III.

Choosing your diamond

Once we have a clear direction, Alla carefully sources a selection of diamonds for you. Whether you choose a lab-grown or natural diamond, every stone is ethically sourced and IGI or GIA certified.

IV.

Bringing it to life

Once your design is approved, your ring is handcrafted by skilled jewellers in Auckland who share the same commitment to precision and craftsmanship that defines every BÓHDAN piece.

Most bespoke jewellery is completed within four to six weeks.

V.

A lifetime of care

Every BÓHDAN diamond is backed by a lifetime manufacturing warranty, giving you confidence for years to come. You’ll also receive complimentary annual care, including ultrasonic cleaning, professional polishing and a thorough inspection to ensure your diamond remains secure and your ring continues to look its very best.

PERSONALISED APPOINTMENTS

You do not need to know exactly what you want before we meet. Alla will guide you through diamond shapes, proportions, settings, metals and design possibilities, helping you feel clear and confident before making any decisions.

Appointments are available in Auckland or by video call from anywhere in the world.

TESTIMONIALS

Just wanted to share the news that Ruaan and I are engaged! He was carrying the little mustard box with him for months waiting for the perfect moment. He proposed yesterday early morning while drinking tea on the beach in a special spot up North with our feet full of sand. I wanted to thank you again for my Lira. I am so struck by how she changes from different angles - like a piece of art that has different things to say. Also the silk, velvet, sketch, pouch - everything is so thoughtful and beautiful.

Colette & Ruaan

We honestly couldn’t believe how smooth the whole process was. From the very first coffee with Alla, it felt personal and stress-free. She walked us through every stage of designing our engagement ring, and when it finally arrived, it was beyond anything we imagined. The diamond sparkles in every light and the craftsmanship is flawless. Friends keep asking who created it – we’re so proud to say it was BÓHDAN.

Emma & Daniel, Auckland

I can’t stop staring at my hand! Every time the light hits my ring, I just smile. Alla was approachable, kind, and so patient with our endless questions. The way she translated our ideas into something so elegant and timeless was incredible. It’s not only the beauty of the ring, but also knowing how carefully it was made. For the size of the diamond and the quality of the gold, the price and approach and service were unbelievable.

Sophie & Ron, Wellington

From start to finish, Alla made us feel at ease. She has this gift of making a complicated process feel joyful and creative. She kept us updated on every single step from sketches, to CAD, to polishing – so we were part of the story. When the ring was finally in our hands, it was better than anything we could find in a shop window. People literally stop us to ask where it’s from.

Hannah & Ben, Christchurch

We searched for months and nothing felt quite right, until we found Alla. She really listened to our story and designed something that feels like us. The craftsmanship is breathtaking. Every detail is perfect. For the diamond size and quality, we assumed it would be out of reach. But Alla made it possible and we’ll treasure this forever.

Olivia & J, Auckland

Most bespoke engagement rings are completed within 4–6 weeks after your design has been approved. More intricate custom engagement rings may take a little longer. Throughout the process, Alla will keep you updated so you always know what stage your ring is at.

Not at all. A bespoke ring isn’t priced because it’s custom, it’s priced according to the diamond, precious metal and complexity of the design. In many cases, designing your own engagement ring costs no more than purchasing a ready-made BÓHDAN DIAMONDS design.

Absolutely. Many of our customers begin with a BÓHDAN design and personalise it to suit their style. You can change the centre diamond, setting, metal, proportions, band width or add meaningful details to create a ring that feels uniquely yours. Every custom engagement ring is made specifically for the person who will wear it.

Yes. We work with couples across New Zealand and internationally. The entire bespoke jewellery process can be completed through video calls, email and messaging. Your finished ring is securely shipped worldwide with fully insured delivery.

Once your design and quotation are approved, a 50% deposit secures your diamond and allows production to begin. The remaining balance is due when your ring is complete, before collection or insured delivery.
