ADDITIONAL FAQ

How is Prisms by SG different from Custom Bridal?

Our Custom Bridal engagement rings are handmade in New York and customized to your desired specifications. To qualify for a Custom Bridal engagement ring, your purchase must be $10K plus.

Prisms is our pre-designed collection of settings, which accommodates a wide variety of diamond center stones, selected by you, to meet your desired specifications for quality, size and budget. The setting details cannot be altered.

How do I know my ring size?

We offer an at-home ring sizer on our website that can be purchased to determine your finger size. Please see our ring size guide for more information.

If you order the wrong ring size, we allow for one complimentary resize within one year from the date of purchase. More than a 1.5 finger size difference may incur additional fees.

Where can I learn more about the 4 C’s before making my purchase?

Check out our Diamond Education page to learn all about the 4 C’s!

Can I make changes to my order once it is placed?

We allow for changes within 24 hours of your purchase. Changes made are limited to Prisms products. Please note that if your change results in a price increase you will be responsible for the additional payment. If your change results in a price decrease, we will refund you the difference if the change is requested within 24 hours of your purchase. We cannot change your order to add a customization.

How can I see what my selected diamond looks like?

Each Prisms by SG diamond is shown in a magnified view during your browsing experience. This view shows the diamond under 10x magnification, as if you are using a diamond loupe yourself. Through this view, you’ll be able to identify any imperfections within the stone. Some stones are also accompanied by video footage. For any questions regarding a specific diamond, please contact prisms@stephaniegottlieb.com.

How is each level of Diamond Quality defined?

Diamond quality will vary by shape. Please see below for more explanation about each tier:

Base: This quality is our entry-level range for the client intending to prioritize size over quality. In this range the diamond will sparkle and look beautiful to the naked eye, but under magnification and to the trained eye, small imperfections and slight yellow undertones can be detected.

Fine: This quality is our medium-level range for the client looking for the perfect balance between size and quality. In this range the diamond will sparkle and look beautiful to the naked eye, but under magnification and to the trained eye, more ideally located and/or smaller imperfections and slight yellow undertones can be detected. These imperfections and the yellow color will be less noticeable than those found in the Base tier.

Premium: This quality is our top-level range for the client who wants to prioritize quality over size, while still aiming to find value in your purchase. In this range the diamond will sparkle and look bright and beautiful to the naked eye. It should be very difficult to see any imperfections or yellow undertones to the naked eye as well as under magnification.

How can I get my ring Appraised?

We will send you an appraisal once your ring is completed and shipped.
