Signature Design Process

  • Poetic writing and photos documenting the inspiration for one of Rosemary's narrative custom engagement ring designs. Photos are taped up over handwritten text.

    Tell Your Story.

    The Narrative Custom Design Process is collaborative. You’ll play an important role. Rosemary will provide writing prompts that guide you through telling your story and collecting key inspiration.

  • Hand-drawn sketch of a ring, pencils, gemstones, and poetic writing showing the design process of one of Rosemary Mifsud's narrative custom designed engagement rings.

    Review Your Sketch.

    Inspired by your brilliant writings and images, Rosemary will design the forms and details of your ring based on the concepts, memories, and important life moments that you wrote about. She will focus special attention on wearability, durability, and aesthetics that suit You.

  • A custom ring sketch by Rosemary Mifsud shown on an ipad. The ipad is held by female hands in an elegant environment.

    Chat With Me.

    Rosemary will walk you through the proposed design and narrative, in person or on a video call. You’ll be able to visualize your ring through a hand drawn sketch, make any final adjustments, and talk about material, diamond and gemstone options.

  • Photos of the final result of Rosemary Mifsud's custom design process. The images show a finished custom ring and a wooden ring box held by tattooed male hands.

    Meet Your Ring.

    Your ring will be delivered to you in a handmade wood ring box. You’ll also receive printed keepsakes documenting the details of the design journey and digital photography to share. The next steps are all You!
