Your Unique Love Story, Set in Stone!

You have a lot to celebrate, and nothing captures that moment quite like a ring designed around your story! So, if you want a setting that feels personal, a stone that fits both your taste and budget, and a guided process from someone who actually listens, a private appointment is the way to go. That is exactly how we work at Sabyl’s Fine Jewelry, in Greenville, South Carolina. We can also work with you from anywhere in the USA.

We have our appointment-only studio so you can slow down, ask every question, and leave with clarity. No crowded counters. No rush. Just a one-on-one conversation that leads to a ring you cannot wait to own and wear!

Why a private consultation makes all the difference

We can help translate your ideas into a plan that fits your timeline and budget. You get exclusive time with our designer, which means your thoughts and questions lead the conversation.

Here is what that looks like in practice:

• One-on-one attention in a relaxed, private studio, by appointment only
• Access to a vast network of diamonds and gemstones, including about 80% of the world’s diamond inventory
• Thousands of settings, from classic to modern to vintage-inspired
• Photo-realistic 3-D renderings sent for free, with no obligation to buy
• No up-front design fee, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every custom ring
• Clear education on the 4Cs of diamond buying and engagement ring styles, so you get the most beauty for your budget

Clients tell us they feel heard, guided, and never pressured. That feeling lasts from the first sketch through the finished product.

What you can expect during your appointment

There are more options and styles for engagement rings today then ever before. Our first step is to help you zero in on your preferences.

We start by listening. Bring inspiration photos, a note on your partner’s style, heirloom stones you would like to use, or even just a few adjectives. We ask about what matters most to you.

You will see diamonds and gemstones that match your goals and price range. We walk you through cut, color, clarity, and carat, then show how each choice affects beauty and cost. We’ll give you clear answers to all of your questions.

By the end of this first meeting, we have at least a preliminary concept. Sometimes it starts as a quick sketch or an inspiration photo. We’ll look at center stones and setting concepts. You’ll leave knowing the next steps and the path to your ring. We will keep moving forward with amazing computer-generated images and diamonds for you to see in person.

From idea to finished ring, step by step

We follow a familiar process that keeps you in control, and keeps surprises out of the picture.

1. Initial consultation We meet in our Greenville studio or begin by text or phone if you prefer. Tell us your story, share ideas, and set a comfortable budget range. If you are redesigning, bring the pieces you want to merge into a new heirloom.
2. Drawing and planning We propose stone and setting options that fit your budget. You choose metal color, prong style, side details, engraving and any special features. When it helps, we sketch or pull similar pieces for reference.
3. CAD modeling and preview Next, we build a detailed 3-D computer model. We send photo-realistic images that look like the real ring on your hand. These images are free and there is no pressure to move forward.
4. Revisions and approval You send feedback, and we tweak anything, from the width of the band to the angle of the prongs. You can request as many revisions as you want. When the design feels perfect, you approve the final model.
5. Fabrication and setting We craft your ring in the chosen metal, set your diamond or gemstone, and finish every surface by hand. Before you pick up, we inspect all details again.
6. Delivery and our “make-it-right” promise Pick up your ring in the studio or arrange secure delivery. If anything is not what you expected, we adjust or remake it until it is right.

Most custom engagement rings take about 2 to 3 weeks from final approval to completion. If you have a proposal date in mind, tell us early so we can plan backward.

Styles, stones, and metals to consider

Our studio supports a wide range of materials and design directions. Many clients blend styles, a modern solitaire with a vintage band, a bezel-set center with a subtle hidden halo, or a heirloom stone in a fresh Art Deco remount.

Here is a quick overview of options you can explore with us.

If you are browsing names and model numbers, you will also find made-to-order and ready-to-ship settings. Popular choices in our studio include designs in the KI-115024-W family and the Cherie KI-115182-W, as well as classic solitaire mountings that keep all eyes on the center stone.

Diamond and gemstone options, made simple

Diamonds We source millions of diamonds through a wide network, which lets us match priorities more finely than a typical case display. Looking for an excellent cut, eye-clean clarity, and a color grade that looks bright in white gold, we narrow the field quickly and show you the sweet spots where beauty and value meet. Round, oval, cushion, emerald, radiant, pear, marquise, and princess cuts are all on the table.

Colored gemstones Sapphires, rubies, and emeralds are timeless, and we often pair them with diamond accents for contrast. If you want a unique hue, think Montana sapphire, teal sapphire, or a vivid pink sapphire center in a bypass design. We can also track down specialty stones on request.

Ethical questions and grading If specific sourcing or lab documentation is important to you, bring it up early and we will present options that meet your criteria. This is part of our normal process.

Pricing, value, and how we keep it fair

We keep our studio by appointment so overhead stays low. That means we can offer the feel of a local designer, with prices that often come in up to 30 percent below traditional retail. Access to a vast diamond market helps too. We compare stones across many suppliers, which often leads to a better make and look at the same carat weight.

Other ways we keep costs clear:

• No up-front design fee for custom work
• Free CAD images and revisions before you ever pay
• Transparent quotes with stones and metals itemized
• Side-by-side comparisons at different price points
• Honest advice when a small change can save money without losing beauty

If you want to set a firm budget ceiling before we present options, just say the word. We will design inside that line and show you the best choices within it.

Timelines, proposals, and tips for Greenville clients

Engagement season in Greenville can get busy. If you have a proposal planned for Fall for Greenville, a trip to Paris Mountain, or a dinner on Main Street, start early so you can relax as the date approaches.

A few planning pointers:

• Start the process 1 to 2 months before your ideal proposal date
• Leave time for stone sourcing if you want something rare or very specific
• Plan for 2 to 3 weeks to have the ring made after you approve the final CAD. If you need if faster, let us know.
• Ask about a temporary solitaire if your timeline is tight, we can often help
• If secrecy matters, we can coordinate discreet communication and pickup

We are happy to text updates, send videos of stones, and keep the surprise intact.

Real experiences from the Upstate

We hear similar stories from Greenville clients again and again. Couples come in worried about getting talked into something they do not want, then leave relieved that someone finally listened. One client shared that our team heard their vision, stayed on budget, and delivered a ring that blew them away. Another couple said the experience felt like a big step up from a box store, with patient guidance at each stage.

We take that feedback to heart. A private studio should feel calm, clear, and focused on you. When you say a detail matters, it matters. We adjust when you change your mind. Then, when you say “Yes!” to the final design, you do so with confidence.

Ideas to start your design

Not sure where to begin, or torn between styles, here are a few prompts that spark great conversations in our studio.

• Modern classic: Round brilliant in a slim platinum solitaire with a matching pavé band
• Antique-inspired: Old European cut or round brilliant with milgrain, hand engraving, and a scalloped halo
• East-west elegance: Emerald cut set east-west in a bezel, clean and low profile
• Three-stone balance: Oval center with pear sides, or emerald cut with tapered baguettes
• Hidden halo: Slim band, tall basket, and a ring of micro diamonds tucked under the center
• Two-tone interest: White gold head for brightness, yellow or rose gold shank for warmth
• Heirloom reimagined: Art Deco remount using family stones, crafted to today’s scale
• Color-forward: Deep blue sapphire center with French pavé diamonds along a cathedral band

If you like the idea of a complete set, we also design wedding bands to match your engagement ring’s profile, from straight and stackable to contoured and notched. Wedding sets and wedding bands are an area we love, and we are happy to show ideas during your first visit.

Beyond the ring: gifts and matching pieces

Many couples plan a proposal and wedding timeline with a few meaningful gifts along the way. We can help you keep a cohesive look without everything matching too closely.

• Diamond studs sized to your ring’s carat scale
• Add-a-Diamond bracelets that grow over time
• Pavé bangles, including 3 ct total weight options
• Pendants or station necklaces that echo the ring’s shape
• Men’s bands that tie into your ring’s metal and finish

If you would like to start with a ready-to-ship piece while we build your custom ring, we have thousands of designs that can arrive quickly.

How to prepare for your appointment

A little preparation goes a long way, and it keeps your design on schedule.

Bring or think through:

• A few inspiration photos, even if they seem different from each other
• A budget range you feel good about
• Ring size or a ring that fits the correct finger
• Notes about lifestyle and hand work, so we can guide durability choices
• Any heirloom stones or jewelry you may want to reuse
• Your proposal date, venue ideas, and how secret the process needs to be

You do not need to learn a bunch of gem terms before you come in. That is our job. Show up as you are, and we will make the details easy.

Why Greenville chooses an appointment-only studio

Greenville is a city that blends tradition with growth. We designed our process the same way. You sit down with a local designer, not a rotating sales desk. You get online-level pricing, paired with a face and a name you can call or text any time. We keep responsibilities close to home and treat your ring like it is the only one on the bench.

Over 35 years, that approach has helped us serve engagements, weddings, and anniversaries across the Upstate. We love this work. We love this place. And we would be honored to help with your moment.
