Our Custom Engagement Ring Process
01
Bring Your JEwels to Takohl
Bring your old piece of jewelry to Takohl to begin collaborating with our head designer Tammy Kohl. To start the process, she will ask you about your vision of the project and your personal style. After having a direction in place, Tammy will personally sketch unique design directions for you.


02
Sketch review
Once the sketches are done, they will be sent to you for your review. Pick your favorite variation and from there, Tammy will work with you to make changes to the design until it’s just right.


03
cad renderings & wax models
After approving your sketch, a CAD rendering will be prepared for you so you can have a 3D visual of your restyled piece. Once you approve your CAD model, we make a wax model so you can see exactly what it will look like when it’s finished.


04
Creation
With the wax model approved, the next step is to turn the vision into reality. By combining the skills of old world craftsmanship with modern day technology, Tammy and her team will transform your piece into a one of a kind creation that’s to be cherished for years to come.
