Customization & Custom Rings

  • Often, we create one of a kind rings using uniquely shaped diamonds or sapphires. In some cases, we are able to re-create a similar ring, note there may be slight variation in ctw, color, or price. Contact us at hello@truebijoux.ca or text 613-232-2229 with an image of the ring you are trying to re-create.

If you need your piece sooner, please reach out to hello@truebijoux.ca or text 613-232-2229 and a member of our team will be happy to work with you to meet your timeline.
