Light Blue Fair Trade Sapphire Crown Solitaire Engagement Ring in Palladium

Custom Gallery

A yellow solitaire engagement ring with an oval color-zoned green & orange sapphire.

At Aide-mémoire, our customization focuses on bespoke and modified designs.

Below is a quick guide to the different types of custom work:

Bespoke – Made to order from an existing design. You choose the details, such as ring size, metal type and karat, stone, and finish.

Modified Design – A variation on an existing piece. This might include combining the setting from one design with the band from another.

Full Custom – A completely original design created from scratch, typically with customer input into the concept. We do not offer full custom work.

We invite you to explore our Custom Gallery below. You’ll find examples of bespoke pieces tailored with ethically sourced sapphires, flush-set stones, heirloom diamonds, and other personal touches.

If you see something that inspires your own piece, simply fill out the quote request form. We’ll review your submission to see if it’s a project we can take on. If so, we’ll follow up with a quote and estimated production timeline.
