STEP 1: Choose the rock
Maybe you have the stone already, or maybe you need help finding one. Size? Color? Shape? Maybe you don't want a diamond and you need some advice on diamond alternatives. Have you heard of the 3 Cs? This is the part where you receive a one on one education by Pat on what you need to know when buying a diamond. Other places might brush over this part and not take the time to teach the ins and outs of diamond purchasing, but at Covenant Bridal this education is an important key to the whole experience. You will know that what you purchase is going to suit your needs. Because there are lots of options!
STEP 2: Design
Are there any styles you've seen so far that you like? Want to emulate a particular time period? Want to include any special detail? Would you like to check out some of our catalogues to see what styles are out there?
Bring in some examples. Draw a picture.

STEP 3: Consult
Come into the shop and we can narrow down the details of your vision and talk through your thoughts. We might offer suggestions or show options that go along with your ideas so that this ring can come into focus.
STEP 4: Going Virtual
We will take the design we discussed and drawings we make together and turn your vision into a 3D PDF file rendered to specifications and you will get your first look at what your ring will look like when it is complete! And since it is virtual, this is a great time to make changes or modifications that you notice when seeing it for the first time.
STEP 5: Carving the wax
From the virtual file that is now on the computer, it is sent to our in-house wax mill where it is carved exactly modeled to scale. Put it on your finger - how does it feel??
Final touches are made in this stage when you can hold the model in your hand.

STEP 6: Casting the gold
The wax model that we made can now be sent to our gold smith who turns the wax model into the metal of your choice.
STEP 7: Mounting and Polishing
Finishing touches are made, the stones are added, and the ring is complete!
STEP 8: Time to get hitched!!!!
