Fall Engagement Plans? Act now!

We really hate being those people who constantly talk about how summer is already over when it has only just begun…. but when you work in a field that requires lead times, that’s how we have to be! So, as you’re settling into your summer plans and sipping on your spritzes by the pool, take note if you are hoping for a fall engagement: now is the time to get started.

Picking the right engagement ring is a decision that should be thoughtful and stress-free. The best ingredient to achieving that goal is time. You may think you know exactly what you want for your ring - and you might be right! But there might be elements you haven’t considered before, or ideas that you haven’t seen that you might be interested in, and by giving yourself time to speak with a professional and walk through your ideas you’ll be glad you did it. Plus, thoughtful design and good craftsmanship take time. Creating a perfect, heirloom-worthy piece of jewelry takes skill and attention to detail, and you don’t want your jeweler working under an unnecessarily tight deadline because you didn’t plan ahead.

Here is a breakdown of how a typical design a production timeline works with Alx&Co.:

Good to know: more simplistic designs can take less time to design and fabricate, but you should meet with your jeweler before deciding that your ring will be straightforward. Little things can add time, such as a special center stone or hand-engraved details, so it’s best to speak with the person making the ring ahead of time.
