Welcome to Finer Custom Jewelry in Scottsdale, where custom engagement rings are designed to feel personal, meaningful, and impossible to replace.
Every ring we make starts with a conversation, not a catalog and not a configurator: what this ring is going to mean, and who it is for. Whether you are proposing, upgrading, or redesigning a family stone, we build it around you.
Shimon Himovich designs every ring by hand in our Scottsdale studio near Fashion Square. Are you looking for a ring that puts your feelings for your partner into a physical form? You have come to the right place. We will not show you stock engagement rings. Every ring starts from a blank page: your ideas, your stone, your design.
Our experienced designers are here to listen to what you want, to guide you in the process of understanding how to take your vision of an engagement ring and turn it into an actual design.
We carry any of the diamonds you can imagine, with ethically sourced natural and lab-grown diamonds, including salt and pepper options, as well as the various precious metals that look great holding your gem. Create that custom engagement ring for you, your beloved, or as a heirloom to be passed down from one generation to the next.
Already engaged? We also make custom wedding rings in Scottsdale, including matching wedding bands shaped to sit flush against your engagement ring.
Your first consultation in our Scottsdale studio is an introduction to each other’s worlds. We want to hear your ideas and your story, and show you how they can come to life.
The person across the table is Shimon, the person who will be making your ring.
Our experts will provide you with the knowledge you need to make the best stone choice for your idea and budget.
Between this meeting and the one after it, our design team will create a virtual mock-up, keeping you in the loop the whole way through.
We take the design and create a wax model, the exact mold used to cast your custom jewelry piece, so you can see how all the details will come together.
Once you have approved the cast design, the ring moves on to its final production!
This is our favorite visit: Reveal Day!
Your engagement ring is packaged in a luxurious box, ready for the moment you give it.
“The team at finer listened and understood exactly what I was looking for. They were Honest, Transparent, And made me Confident in my Choices.”
Finer Custom Jewelry was founded in 2018 with a clear purpose: to redefine fine jewelry through craftsmanship, integrity, and transparency. From our studio in Scottsdale, Arizona, we have created a place where trust and quality come first, and where choosing a diamond becomes a relationship instead of a transaction.
We moved away from mass production and commission-driven sales to offer a calm, client-focused experience. Choosing a diamond or designing a custom piece should feel educational and empowering. We listen first, guide thoughtfully, and make sure every decision reflects your best interests.
Shimon has been in the trade since 2011, and every ring is designed and made under his eye, from choosing the stone to the final polish.
It starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch. You come into our Scottsdale studio, we sit down together, and I listen: what you’re drawn to, what doesn’t feel right, who this ring is for. From there we look at stones, talk through shapes and settings, and I’ll sketch out a direction. Once we’ve agreed on the design, I build it by hand. Most clients go through two or three rounds of refinement before we finalize. That’s normal and expected.
From the moment we finalize the design, most rings take four to six weeks to complete. If you have a date in mind, like a proposal, a birthday or a trip, tell me at the first consultation and I’ll plan around it. I’d rather know early than rush at the end.
Yes, and I’d encourage it. Choosing your own stone means you understand exactly what you’re getting and why. I’ll walk you through cut, color, clarity, and carat in plain terms, and we’ll look at stones together until we find the one that’s right for your ring and your budget. We work with GIA-certified diamonds.
We do. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical to natural diamonds: same hardness, same optical properties, graded on the same scale. The difference is origin and price. Lab-grown diamonds typically cost 50 to 80 percent less, which often means a larger or better-quality stone for the same budget. We carry both and won’t push you either way. The right choice depends on what matters to you.
Absolutely. Resetting a family stone is some of the most meaningful work we do. Bring it in and I’ll take a look, assess its condition, talk through which settings will work with its shape and size, and design something around it. The stone stays yours throughout the entire process.
Everything from a simple solitaire to intricate vintage-inspired settings with milgrain and pavé: solitaire, halo, hidden halo, bezel, tension, east-west, toi et moi. If you have a reference image, bring it. If you don’t have words for what you want, bring the feeling and we’ll find the words together.
The price depends on the stone, the metal and how detailed the design is. I work across a wide range of budgets, and I’ll always be upfront about what’s realistic within yours before anything is made. There’s no point designing something we can’t deliver.
If you live anywhere in the Phoenix area, yes. Our studio is at 4211 N Winfield Scott Plaza in Scottsdale, a short walk from Fashion Square, and couples come to us from Phoenix, Tempe, Paradise Valley and across the Valley.
