Our Made To Order Process
Only the Finest Diamonds
At Lavender Creek Gems, we believe in using only the finest diamonds. Each stone is personally vetted by Brianna, ensuring that every made-to-order ring features the best possible diamond.
Sourcing the Perfect Diamond
Once an order is placed, Brianna carefully selects a diamond based on the customer’s chosen parameters. The stone is then sent from her trusted supplier, where it undergoes meticulous measurement and verification by our partnered gemologists. It is scanned to ensure a precise fit with the CAD file—because every ring is crafted specifically for its center stone. Unlike mass-produced settings that force diamonds into pre-made mounts, each Lavender Creek Gems ring is designed to perfectly embrace the stone it was made for.
Handcrafted, Not Mass-Produced
This process takes a couple of weeks before the ring moves into production. While no updates are sent during this phase, customers can rest assured that if they haven’t heard anything, their piece is being handcrafted. Every ring is made by skilled artisans, with real people handling every step—from casting and polishing to setting and final inspection. Lavender Creek Gems does not mass-produce its jewelry, and the craftsmanship speaks for itself.
Shipping & Delivery
Once the ring is completed and prepared for shipment, an automated email is sent notifying the customer that their order is on its way. To ensure a secure and timely delivery, all jewelry is shipped via overnight service.
Timing & Potential Delays
While every effort is made to uphold exceptional craftsmanship and maintain efficient timelines, delays can occur if a piece does not meet Brianna’s high standards—whether in setting, casting, or any other step of the process. Because of this, customers are encouraged to place orders well in advance of any important dates.
Current turnaround time: Approximately 8 weeks
More Than Just a Ring
Each piece from Lavender Creek Gems is more than just jewelry—it is a labor of love, infused with Brianna’s heart and soul. As a one-woman business owner, every ring she creates carries deep meaning. From carefully selecting each diamond to ensuring the final touches are flawless, she pours herself into every step of the process. Her passion, dedication, and love for her craft shine through in every ring, making each one as special as the love story it represents.
About Lab Created Diamonds
-
Hardness
Lab-grown diamonds match the quality of natural diamonds. They are produced in a controlled setting using either high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) methods or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques. As a result, these diamonds have the same crystal structure and physical properties as those formed naturally, including their exceptional hardness. Both lab-grown and natural diamonds are rated 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, making them extremely resistant to scratching and equally durable.
- The Mohs scale is a measurement system used to assess and compare the hardness of minerals. Developed by Friedrich Mohs in 1812, it assigns a ranking from 1 to 10 to minerals based on their ability to scratch or be scratched by other minerals. This scale provides a simple and practical way to understand the relative hardness of different minerals, with 1 being the softest (e.g., talc) and 10 the hardest (e.g., diamond).

Color Range & Varieties
Lab-grown diamonds are available in a wide array of colors, spanning from completely colorless to vibrant hues. They cover the full spectrum, including:
- Colorless (D-F): Ranging from absolutely clear to near colorless.
- Near Colorless (G-J): Slightly tinted but still predominantly clear.
- Faint (K-M): Noticeable yellow or brown tints.
- Fancy Colors: Includes yellow, brown, pink, blue, green, and more exotic shades.
