Yes, we work with most center stones whether provided by you or purchased through us. We do not charge an additional fee to set your existing diamond in one of our bespoke settings.

Designs By Kamni can work under any time frame. We recommend allowing 4-8 weeks from the proposal date to begin the process so that we can select the perfect diamond for your criteria and custom make the setting, however, Designs By Kamni can have it complete in a short time frame if needed. It can be as short as a 24 hour turn around time from the selection of the center stone. Click here for more information about our step by step process.

We accept all major credit cards, paypal, bank checks, and bank wires. If you prefer to pay by cash or Chase Quickpay, this is also an option. To set this up please email [email protected]

Sales tax is only collected on orders shipped to addresses in New York State

We have a no refund policy due to the extremely specific nature and design process. However, we are more than happy to exchange an item if there is something wrong with the order or if the product has a defect.

Based off of the appraisal certificate Designs By Kamni will provide to you, you can add a policy to an existing insurance policy such as a homeowner's insurance policy or you can purchase a separate policy for jewelry. Designs By Kamni recommends using Jeweler's Mutual if you prefer purchasing a separate policy.

Fine jewelry is delicate and needs to be care for accordingly. Here are some tips:

• Wear your jewelry like shoes. Put it on before leaving home and take it off upon arriving home.
• Avoid wearing your jewelry while showering, applying lotion/perfume, exercising, washing dishes, sleeping.
• Diamond jewelry can be cleaned by gently scrubbing the gold and diamonds with a soft toothbrush and dish soap.

We do! We ship our items insured via FedEx. International orders may be subject to taxes, customs, duties and fees levied by the destination country and the recipient will be responsible for these fees.

We pride ourselves on the 1 on 1 consultation and service we provide for our clients. We differentiate ourselves from the typical jewelry store by constant contact, dialogue, and input to and from our clients. We are not here to just sell an engagement ring, but rather create a special experience. DBK makes sure that every single ring is custom to you and your needs.

We can size her if she is part of the process, otherwise, we recommend bringing in one of her old rings to use as a gauge. Alternatively, the ring can be made in the standard size, which is 6, and be re-sized at one time throughout the life of the ring at no charge to you. Beads can also be placed into the ring if it is too big if you do not want to re-size it. All metals can be altered to fit, so rest assured Designs By Kamni will take care of it.
