Custom & Private Jeweller in Vancouver
Bespoke engagement rings designed around your vision, your budget, and your partner's style — with IGI certified lab-grown diamonds and personal service from start to finish.
What Makes Aurela Diamonds a Private Jeweller
Unlike a traditional jewellery retailer, Aurela Diamonds operates as a private jeweller — working one-on-one with each client to design and create their ring from scratch. There is no showroom floor, no sales pressure, and no catalogue of standard pieces to choose from. Every ring begins with your brief.
This model means you get significantly more diamond for your budget. Without retail overhead, we pass the savings directly to you. Combined with the cost advantage of lab-grown diamonds, the result is a ring that would cost two to three times as much at a traditional Vancouver jeweller.
Consultations are available in person in Vancouver or virtually for clients across Canada and the USA.
The Custom Ring Process
Free Consultation
We start by understanding your vision — preferred diamond shape, setting style, metal, and budget. No commitment required. In person in Vancouver or virtually.
Diamond Selection
We hand select IGI certified lab-grown diamonds that match your brief and share the IGI certificate and video footage of each stone for your review.
Crafting & Delivery
Your ring is crafted to specification and typically ready in 4 to 6 weeks. Shipped fully insured or available for pickup in Vancouver.
Why Choose a Custom Jeweller Over a Retail Store
No Retail Markup
Traditional jewellery stores carry significant overhead — rent, staff, inventory. A private jeweller passes those savings to you in the form of a larger diamond or a lower price.
Designed for Your Partner
A catalogue ring is designed for no one in particular. A custom ring is designed for your partner — their style, their preferences, their finger.
Full Transparency
You see the diamond certificate, the setting specifications, and the full pricing breakdown. No mystery markups, no upselling.
Direct Relationship
You work directly with the jeweller throughout — not a commissioned sales associate. The person designing your ring is the person making it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a private jeweller?
A private jeweller works directly with individual clients rather than selling through a retail storefront. You get personal attention, transparent pricing, and a ring designed specifically for you — without the overhead and markup of a traditional jewellery store.
How does the custom engagement ring process work at Aurela Diamonds?
It starts with a free consultation — in person in Vancouver or virtually. We discuss your vision, preferred diamond shape, setting style, metal, and budget. We then hand select diamond options for you to review and confirm the design before anything is made. The finished ring is typically ready in 4 to 6 weeks.
How much does a custom engagement ring cost in Vancouver?
Custom engagement rings at Aurela Diamonds start from around $1,500 CAD. Most clients spend between $2,500 and $6,000 CAD for a fully custom ring with an IGI certified lab-grown diamond. Because we use lab-grown stones, your budget goes significantly further than it would at a traditional mined diamond jeweller.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before booking a consultation?
Not at all. Many clients come in with only a vague idea — perhaps a shape or a budget. We guide you through the process from the beginning. Pinterest boards, photos, or even a description of your partner's style are all great starting points.
Can I work with you remotely if I'm not in Vancouver?
Yes. We serve clients across all of Canada and the USA through virtual consultations. The entire design process — from initial brief to diamond selection to setting approval — can be completed online. For each diamond we share the IGI certificate and a video so you can see exactly how the stone looks before committing. Finished rings are shipped fully insured to your door.
