Inquire & Request Design Consultation »✓ Complimentary Consultation & Availability Check
Initial design consultations and availability checks are complimentary with zero obligation. To pull this natural gemstone off the live market and ship it to our Brookline shop under fully insured transit, a $500 deposit holds your stone, starts your custom 3D CAD design, and applies entirely toward your finished ring. Shared vault inventory moves quickly across global trade networks. On very rare occasions, if another jeweler happens to claim a stone right before our hold is finalized, we will gladly source comparable options or provide a full refund if you prefer not to proceed. Once your stone hold is confirmed and design work begins, your deposit remains active as a dedicated credit toward your finished ring.

💎 Vault Availability: Currently in UK Partner Vault
This specific 1.25ct Canadian salt and pepper diamond is held in our live partner vault in the United Kingdom. Since live vault gems move quickly across partner inventory, we confirm real-time availability with our supplier before reserving it for you. Once confirmed, we are happy to bring this exact diamond to our Brookline studio for your private viewing.
Understanding Salt & Pepper Character:
Salt and pepper diamonds feature organic, galaxy-like charcoal inclusions and subtle grey body tones that give each gem a distinct personality. Cut in a classic round Old European profile with a smooth outer edge, this stone offers excellent structural durability for setting and everyday wear.

Looking to see this gem in person?
We invite you to reach out or visit our Brookline shop to get started. To bring this exact 1.25ct Canadian salt and pepper diamond in from our UK partner vault for your inspection, we require a $500 Vault Sourcing & Design Deposit. Bringing your gem safely to our Brookline studio usually takes 5 to 10 business days, giving you a private 7-day viewing window. This non-refundable deposit covers fully insured transit, custom 3D design renderings for your setting (including up to 2 revisions), and a physical 3D resin model to try on. Best of all, the full $500 applies 100% toward your finished ring.
What if the stone isn't quite right in person?
Your deposit remains completely versatile. It transfers 100% as a project credit toward sourcing another natural gem, choosing an in-house lab-grown diamond, or crafting a custom setting.
Note: The $500 deposit applies specifically to sourcing natural gemstones and is credited 100% toward your finished project. Final custom ring totals are calculated simply as: Selected Gem Price + Custom Mounting Design (plus applicable MA sales tax). Since every setting is built from scratch, the final cost depends entirely on the specific design we create together, ranging from around $2,000 for compact mountings to $10,000+ for rare, high-carat stones. Exact quotes are provided during your in-person consultation (or shortly after, if we need time to calculate intricate bench labor or source specific side stones). Looking to maximize stone size within a specific budget? Custom engagement rings using our in-house lab-grown diamonds start at $2,000. Start your custom ring inquiry here.
