Custom Design:
At John Laughter Jewelry, we love to create custom designed jewelry for one-of-a-kind necklaces, earrings, and rings. Bring us a picture or a drawing on a napkin or just an idea in your head and we will custom design the magic piece you desire.

Remember that custom designs are only as good as the skill of the individual goldsmith.

Here’s the process:

• Select the stones of your choice, or bring in stones that you provide. We’ll be delighted to work with your grandmother’s diamonds!
• Work with our jewelers to select a design.
• We will assign your work to artists who will carve the design template to your specifications.
• Our goldsmith, using the metal of your choice, will create the ring template.
• Stone setters will set your diamond into the ring’s setting in the store, making sure the prongs are custom-fit to hold the stone securely.

Mounting Options
John Laughter Jewelry goals are to make your loved one very happy and show off your selected diamond to its’ absolute best. We make it easy to design a ring that you both will love. Our master setters will make sure the setting is fit perfectly to your diamond.

Consider how the ring looks on her hand. Men often don’t realize that the mounting or setting of the diamond is a highly-personalized fashion statement for a woman. It’s important that her personality dictate how the diamond is set.

Does she want a modern look? An antique setting? Or something traditional? Her preferences will be as individual as she is. And her lifestyle is important, too: does her lifestyle make it easy to lose, or to hook things?

We can help you select a mounting that is perfect for her. Each setting is designed for comfort based on the width, height, weight, and balance compared to the shape of her hand…things not available at chain retailers.

Marry the diamond to the perfect mounting. A good mounting is crucial to showing off a diamond to absolute finest. Even the most beautiful diamond can be lost in a bad setting. Stores that mass produce settings don’t care what the diamond wants to be. At John Laughter Jewelry , our master jewelers work with each individual diamond to bring out all its beauty.

Make sure the diamond is secure in its setting. Each setting is tailored exactly to the diamond, with prongs that are cut to fit the diamond’s individual shape so it can’t spin or loosen. At chain stores, settings are mass produced and the diamonds are fit after the fact.
