Ring Design Lead

I ran operations and production at SMIRO for two years. As we grew I moved over to ring design and consultations, so I am usually the first person you meet.

Ask me aboutVery unique designs, and the technical side of how we bring them to life. The more challenging the better.

Ask me aboutTulip baskets and custom hand engraving. Both are my favourite parts of a ring.

I manage and oversee the production of every single ring that flows through our office, from the first wax model to the final polish before it ships.

Ask me aboutCasting, setting, polish, wax models, anything production related. Nothing to do with social media.

I run our marketing and our Instagram. If a reel of a ring being made brought you here, it was probably one of mine. Everything we post is a real piece off our bench.

Ask me aboutWhich ring videos to watch before your consult, and where to find us on Instagram and TikTok.

Sha Sha Padilla

Operations Coordinator

I look after everything behind your order. The deposits and receipts, the order file that follows your ring from first sketch to the day it ships, and the tracking number when it does.

Ask me aboutDeposits and receipts, where your order sits on our tracker, and tracking once it ships.

Aira Mae Egaran

Aira Mae Egaran

Design Coordinator

I coordinate the design stage of your ring. Once your deposit is in, I keep the 3D render, your revisions and your approvals moving between you and our designers, so nothing waits.

Ask me aboutRender timelines, revisions, and what to check before you approve your design.

Joel Fernandes

Production & Shipping Coordinator

I run the production schedule. I keep every ring moving between our jewellers on time, keep our stones stocked, and handle the shipping and customs paperwork so your ring lands on the right day.

Ask me aboutProduction timelines, shipping dates, and customs paperwork for US and international orders.

What happens on your consult.

  1. A 20 minute video call. We talk through your idea, your inspiration photos and your budget.
  2. We recommend a setting, a stone and a metal, and give you a clear estimate on the call.
  3. Ready to go? A 50% deposit starts the 3D render. You approve every detail before we cast.
