Before you choose
Long fingers carry tall settings; working hands want a bezel or a low prong. If you wear gloves or type all day, height is the first decision, not the last.
A ring worn daily needs 8 or harder on the Mohs scale: sapphire, spinel, diamond. Softer stones like opal and emerald are occasion stones, or need protective settings.
Fingers run a half size larger by evening and in summer. We size to your afternoon measurement and resize free within two sizes.
A well-cut smaller stone reads larger and livelier than a lazy big one. This is where our money goes, and where yours should.
The short answer
Wedding rings at Made With Color: one work at $6,400, made to order at one bench in New York. Every stone ships with a passport naming origin, carat, cut, and any treatment in plain words. The band itself: the plainest ring in the drawer and the one with the whole job.
Built around the stone first, like everything in the studio. Every piece shown is a real work in the studio today. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
Comfort-fit interior, a width the hand can forget, and metal matched to the ring it sits against.
Measure a ring you already own at the end of the day, when fingers run largest.
Decide setting height first. Hands that type, garden, or lift want the stone low.
The two bands should agree with each other, not necessarily match. Same metal or same finish is agreement enough.
Today, one work at $6,400. Each is one of a kind, so the page moves as stones sell and new ones are set.
Ready-now works leave the studio within two business days, insured and signed for. Made to order pieces state their bench time on the page, most within three to four weeks.
Thirty days from delivery, in original condition, in the slate box. Resizing is free for life on rings, and any stone we set can be reset into a new mount as taste changes.
Worn every hour of every year. Low profile and solid weight are not style choices, they are engineering.
