Engagement Rings and Diamond Jewelry in Altus, OK

Our staff will help you narrow things down, whether you walk in with a clear picture of the ring or no idea where to begin.

Finding the Right Engagement Ring

Most people shopping for a ring are balancing three things: the look she will love, the diamond itself, and a budget. We take those one at a time. Start by trying a few settings on to see what shape and band width feel right. Then compare stones.


Both lab grown and natural diamonds are available here, so you can weigh them in person instead of guessing from photos. If you would like to see how color grades differ, ask and we will set several next to each other under the same light. Every diamond can also be examined at 10x magnification, which makes small inclusions visible and helps you understand what a clarity grade means on a real stone.


If you want a refresher before you come in, our diamond buying guide covers cut, color, clarity, and carat weight in plain terms.

Custom

Wedding Bands and Anniversary Rings

Bands are often chosen after the engagement ring, but they deserve the same attention. Our diamond bands start at .10 carat and go up to 1.00 carat and larger, which leaves room for a slim stacking band or something with real presence for a milestone anniversary.


Want the inside of the band to say something? Initials, a wedding date, or a short phrase can be added through our jewelry engraving service, and fingerprint or signature engraving is available for something more personal.

Diamonds and Color Beyond the Ring

Not every gift needs to be a ring. Diamonds and colored gemstones also come set in:


  • Tennis bracelets, a popular choice for anniversaries and Valentine's Day
  • Earrings, including diamond solitaires, hoops, and dangle styles
  • Pendants, including solitaires, crosses, and Firefly diamond designs


Colored stones work well for birthdays, for someone whose style runs bolder than classic white, or as an accent beside diamonds.

Custom

When the Ring You Want Isn't in the Case

Sometimes the right ring has to be made. Through custom jewelry design, Debra Borders works from your idea, and CAD mockups let you review the design and request changes before production. One couple celebrating their fifth anniversary chose a rose gold ring with a ruby center stone and a diamond halo, picking the ruby from five stones brought in for them to compare.


A diamond from a family ring can be remounted into a new setting as well. That way the stone carries its history forward while the ring itself fits the person wearing it now.
