Ready to Order Does Not Mean Ready Made
By Clint Casmiro, Co-Founder, Smiro Studio, Toronto · Updated September 28, 2026
Short answer: Our ready to order rings are designs you can buy directly on our website, but they are not sitting in a stockroom. You choose the diamond and the metal, and we make the ring for you. It is the fastest way to get one of our designs, and you can still add changes. A fully custom ring starts from a blank page instead.
If you want an oval with a tulip basket, this is the ring I would get, and you can order it straight from our website.

If you want an oval diamond with a beautiful tulip basket, this is the ring I would get available to purchase directly on our website. This is a 2 carat oval diamond with these six claw prongs set into this classic cathedral setting that flows directly into the half petal. But look at those gorgeous six tulip petals holding up the entire stone, stretching the entire length of the oval.

How ready to order works
Unlike a big box store, we do not have a stockroom of every ring you see online, already made before you have decided. We give you the options. You choose the diamond and the metal, and we make it for you. See the ready to order rings.
Ready to order vs fully custom
| Ready to order | Fully custom | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | One of our designs | Your idea |
| Choices | Diamond, metal, small changes | Everything |
| Design step | Already done | 3D renderings to approve |
Can I still customise it?
Yes. Engraving, a hidden halo, a different band width. If the changes get big, we treat it as a custom ring and send renderings. Start with a free call if you are unsure.

Are ready to order rings already made?
No. We make each one after you choose the diamond and metal.
Can I change a ready to order design?
Yes. Small changes are easy. Bigger ones become a custom ring.
Is ready to order cheaper than custom?
It can be, because the design work is done. The stone drives most of the price either way.
How much does a Ready To Order ring cost?
A fully custom ring from us starts at about $4,000 USD, and most of the rings we build land between $4,000 and $5,000. Our Ready To Order settings start at $1,299 CAD, plus the diamond. The centre stone moves the price most: in September 2026 a 2 carat lab grown diamond ran about $2,500 CAD and a 3 carat about $2,700 CAD. Real numbers are in our cost guide.
Can I add my own diamond to a Ready To Order setting?
Yes. Choose the setting, then the diamond, or bring a stone you already have.
