“Although the risk of sounding corny is high, i must say, this ring belongs in a storybook. Truly elegant design around the fitting. It came out better than i could’ve possibly imagined
”
“I can't thank Melissa enough for all of her support through the ring shopping process. From the collection of unique diamond vendors, we were able to craft a custom engagement ring that blew my (now) fiance away. I'll definitely be working with Melissa again, and would recommend anyone reading this to reach out to her for a consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Find My Correct Ring Size?
Take your ring to a local jeweler for free sizing. This is the best way to get the right fit, especially for the bandwidth you like. Avoid using online tools or makeshift methods like string or paper, as they can give inaccurate results. I can resize your ring later if needed, but getting it right from the start is easier.
What If I Get My Ring Size Wrong?
No worries! Most rings can be resized for a small fee plus shipping. If it’s a surprise or a special occasion, I’ll work with you to make accommodations.
Can I Return an Item If It’s Not What I Expected?
Since every ring is custom-made, returns aren't possible for personalized orders. I involve you in the design process through photos, videos, or live consultations to ensure you love your ring. All stones are ethically sourced, and while I can't guarantee a perfect match, I will do my best to find the right stone for your vision.
Do You Offer Repairs?
Absolutely! Although repairs are rare, I’d be happy to help if something happens to your ring.
How Long Will My Order Take to Arrive?
- Ready-to-Ship Styles: 5–7 days for final sizing, polishing, and packaging.
- Custom Designs: Typically 7–9 weeks from start to finish. This ensures time to source stones, repurpose heirloom pieces, and craft your perfect ring.

What Types of Metals Do You Work With?
I specialize in goldsmithing and offer all gold variations, platinum, and unique precious metal alloys.
What Types of Stones Do You Work With?
The options are limitless! Conflict-free diamonds, colored stones, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and every precious or semi-precious gemstone you can dream of.
Can I Use My Own Stones or Gold?
Absolutely! Heirloom designs are one of my favorite projects. I can melt down your gold or use your stones to create something new and meaningful. Contact us at info@melissatysondesigns.com for shipping and insurance instructions before sending your pieces.
Can I Use a Stone I Purchased?
Yes, provided it’s certified and of high quality. Additional documentation and work may be required, but we can discuss this during the design process.
Do You Charge Sales Tax?
Sales tax is only charged on orders purchased and shipped within North Carolina.
How Will My Package Be Shipped?
The ring will come in a Melissa Tyson Designs jewelry box, nicely packed in a plain, insured box for your privacy. If you want it sent to a different address or have specific instructions, just let me know while we design.
How Do I Care for My Ring?
Use mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft toothbrush to clean your ring. Once a year, take it to a jeweler to check the prongs or bezel and get a free steam cleaning. This helps keep your jewelry shining and in great shape for years.
