Yes. Every stone in the Loose Stones collection is sold on its own, so you choose the one you want and build the ring around it. Once you pick a loose Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, or Yellow Diamond, Nina and Andrei design the setting by hand to fit that exact stone. Most custom gemstone engagement rings here start with the center stone and work outward.

At our Vancouver studio, by appointment. We keep loose Sapphires, Emeralds, Rubies, and Yellow Diamonds in stock and add to the collection as we find stones worth keeping. You can compare them in person under the same light, or browse each stone online with its measurements and price listed. If you're looking at gemstone engagement rings in Vancouver and want to start from the stone, this is where to begin.

Each listing tells you. We label every stone as natural or lab grown on its own page, and we only call a stone natural when its origin is confirmed. Where we know the source, like a Ceylon Sapphire or a Colombian Emerald, we say so and note any treatment. We buy direct, one stone at a time, which is how we can stand behind what's on the page.

Yes. We build the setting around the stone you choose. A loose Yellow Diamond holds its color best against yellow gold, so that's often where we start. A loose Sapphire or Emerald asks for a setting that guards its cut while keeping its color open to the light. Tell us which stone you've picked and we'll design the band, the prongs, and the metal to fit it.
