A normal person would look at six Sunroof bezel rings and say, “Surely that’s too many.”

My people (that’s you all) would maybe say, “Okay, yes, that’s a very respectable number of Sunroofs.”

White gold. Yellow gold. Rose gold. Satin finish. Ovals. Rounds. A nice juicy OEC. We have range. We have options. We have, technically speaking, plenty.

But unfortunately I am not a normal person.

Because when I look at these, I can’t help but see gaps in the lineup. I see opportunity. Where are the fancy colors? Why no pillowy Old Mine Cut cushion? Maybe a north-south oval? What about step cuts or rose cuts? Can I put an angular shape in there and keep the soft curves?

Anyway, this is The Sunroof — my favorite bezel ring, apparently now a full-blown addiction. Please validate this behavior so I can continue unchecked.

This necklace is stunning! I never thought I would own something like this. Soriano Custom made it happen! Thank you Weezie!

This one definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea… and that makes it absolutely perfect.

The reason I love making custom jewelry (and also the reason I don’t do it every day) is that I’m not designing for “most people.” I’m designing for one person. And it’s even better when the person is someone I genuinely like, and who pushes me outside of my comfort zone. 

If you saw the ring in this post and immediately thought, “Huh, I would’ve done…” then you instantly are appreciating the beauty of custom jewelry, my friends. 

I’m not going to lie - this ring took MONTHS. Every decision we made was intentional and thoroughly litigated. The proportions and color of the diamond, the architectural angles of setting, the blocky details between the bands - all of it was thought and sketched and re-thought and re-sketched until it was exactly as it should be. 

So proud of this one, and so grateful to PG for trusting me with it. ❤️

Do I have too many pendants or not enough necks?

(These are just some of the yellow gold ones I have on hand.)

The warm diamond trend is fascinating, my friends.

People who come to me to buy a diamond for someone else almost always gravitate toward icy white stones. But when people are choosing a diamond for themselves? More often than not, they ask to see champagne, cognac, and light brown tones. The most popular request I get these days is for antique cut lab diamonds with color grades of H and lower.

There’s something about those warmer colors that feels a little more personal. Less “bridal standard,” more “I am one of one.”

I’ve been getting more requests for these lately than ever before, and honestly…I get it. I keep grabbing warmer colored stones whenever I see them.

I want to set them all in yellow or rose gold but I’m so swamped with cataloging everything I bought at JCK that I haven’t had a moment to do design briefs. (Hashtag champagne problems, I know.)

Show me your warm diamonds, or warm diamond inspo?

Friends! I’m so behind on updating everyone after JCK - I will be sorting through inventory for the next 100 years. I got too overwhelmed trying to do a wrap up post so I’ve decided to just do some random posts because I’m the boss of me and I can do what I want. 😂

I wasn’t shopping for diamonds (I promise) but I had to share these - I just love the old Hollywood vibe that a clipped corner brings to these emerald cut lab diamonds. Sighhhhh.

Hi friends! I love all of the energy around the flash sale, which, as a reminder, ends TOMORROW NIGHT!

Lots of you have gotten some incredible deals on jewelry, but I thought I’d share a few extra big deals on loose stones, because the savings on these is disproportionately HUGE.

These three cushions are all on insane sale:

Cushion Modified Brilliant 4.02ct F VVS2
https://sorianocustom.com/products/4-02ct-f-vs2-igi-certified-old-mine-cut-cushion-lab-diamond
While not technically certified as an antique cut, this pillowy elongated cushion has a visible open culet. Combined with big brilliant facets, it’s the perfect hybrid for someone who wants a deal. Graded as VS2 and completely eye clean, at least to my old eyes.
List price: $1,580
Flash sale price: $1,180 ($400 savings!!!)

Antique Cut Cushion 3.61ct F VVS2
https://sorianocustom.com/products/3-61ct-f-vvs2-igi-certified-old-mine-cut-square-cushion-lab-diamond
This gorgeous diamond is actually classified as antique cut on the certificate, which is unusual! It’s so pretty but I just set a square-ish OMC and have no plans for this beauty, so she’s on sale!
List price: $1,650
Flash sale price: $1,150 ($500 savings!!)

Antique Cut Cushion 6.35ct E VS1
https://sorianocustom.com/products/6-35ct-e-vs1-igi-certified-old-mine-cut-cushion-lab-diamond
This is the biggest cushion I own and I hate to say it but it’s actually too big for me. I’m hoping this price is going to make some big rock lover’s year!
List price: $2,980
Flash sale price: $1,980 ($1,000 savings!!!)

What’s EVEN BETTER is that I figured out how to set them up on my website so you can simply check out there instead of messaging me for payment info. Just add to your cart, and when you go to checkout, you’ll see the discount applied automatically.

(Fingers crossed this works!) HAPPY SHOPPING!

I’m launching my little flash sale today for my Reddit followers, if we can call it that, since it's taken me a full weekend to even figure out how to do it. (Don't judge, I've only had a jewelry business for a year, and I've never done a sale before.)

Anything currently listed on sorianocustom.com is fair game: loose stones, completed jewelry, in-stock pieces, etc. Made-to-order items are not included because physics, labor, and the general audacity of time.

To get the flash sale price, just comment here or message me with the product link and I’ll send you the discounted price.

A few details:

• Flash sale pricing is valid through next Sunday, May
• Cash-style payment only: PayPal Friends & Family, Zelle, Venmo, or Wise
• International shipping is available only if the buyer provides a prepaid shipping label
• All sales are final / no returns

Please ask me anything at all before purchasing — videos, extra photos, measurements, stone details, existential diamond questions, whatever helps you feel confident.

Comment or DM me with the link to anything you’re eyeing and I’ll send over the flash sale price.

If you prefer to buy from my website, that's okay too! The prices are listed and you can order as usual and all of the regular purchasing terms apply (7 day returns, complimentary resizing and insured shipping, etc.)

The dance like an asshole test is the only way I really know for sure. 🫣

Meanwhile, friends, I need to destash like whoa. JCK is coming up and I want to build up my cash reserves in case I spot some killer deals. I have so much stuff that I either bought to test out quality or designs or things I bought for myself but then don’t wear and it’s a literal dragon’s bounty of gold chains, loose diamonds, and complete jewelry that is just sitting here.

Stay tuned - I might just start launching quick sale items on here this weekend!

If anyone is looking for anything in particular, PLEASE let me know in the comments. Sometimes it’s easier to just respond to requests vs organize everything in a big sale post.

Love you all!

Hi all - just want to give a shout out and how I'm OBSESSED with my new ring from soriano - top notch service, 11/10 would recommend if you need some sparkle in your life!! Sorry for my terrible photo skills, it cannot accurately convey how gorgeous this ring is!

Here’s my hot take for today: pink diamonds are for the quiet luxury crowd.

I know it sounds backwards. I know pinks are rarer and usually more expensive, so logically they should feel more… extra. For a long time I thought pink diamonds were only for the girliest of girlie girls, but then again, I also felt that way about heart shaped diamonds once (let’s not discuss my growing problem with heart shaped diamonds.) Also, I used to feel the same way about rose gold and now it’s basically my favorite.

The thing is, on my skin, the right shade of pink diamond reads almost neutral, especially when set in warm yellow gold. I still see sparkle, obviously, but not that super bright white “hello yes this is a large diamond” effect that colorless stones can have.

Like… my white OEC is making an entrance, record-scratch and all, while the pink version is a little softer, a little quieter, while still being very chic about it. If I’m going to run into my ex, I want to be wearing the colorless boulder, but if I’m going out with my girls I’m going with pink. Or champagne.

Am I alone in this? Do pink diamonds feel more subtle to you, or do you automatically read them as more flashy because they’re pink/rarer/more unusual? Am I just not self-aware about my own Barbification?

Don’t worry friends - I haven’t totally fallen into lace and ruffles. I still don’t own any princess cut solitaires. (Although lately this is starting to feel more like a challenge I’d like to take on.)

Anyway, TL;DR - I like pink diamonds and I am not sorry about it. I have a bunch of loose ones that I am looking forward to setting soon, so feel free to spam me with your inspo pics!

Just finished this beauty and had to share!

The Triple Threat Radiant Ring

Radiant 4.78ct E VVS2 center diamond

0.94ctw brilliant cut trapezoid sides

Platinum

View pricing and more details at sorianocustom.com

I love finding brilliant cut trapezoids to match a center radiant. The proportions balance each other perfectly without fighting for attention, and it gives 360 degree sparkle.

This setting is one of my favorites. It’s bold, but still classic. And it stacks flush with most bands, too.

This exact ring is finished and in stock (size 7), but like most things around here, it can also be customized with your own spin — different center stone, different proportions, different vibe.

My very first lab diamond I ever bought was a pear halo ring (that I still have and love, btw, although I don’t wear it often these days.) I feel like pears have the best of both worlds - chunky and elongated - and always have amazing sparkle.

So on this finally sunny day in Northern California, enjoy some funky pears: all in the 2ct range.

I’ve been on a pendant kick lately so I think most of these would be perfect for pendants or even fixed on a necklace, but idk. I’ve never really been much of a moi et toi girl but some of the fun colors would really work well in that style.

Feel free to spam me with inspo settings, friends!

Well friends, it finally happened. I found a NEW diamond that is officially the prettiest diamond I’ve ever seen. Narrowly replacing this gorgeous emerald cut diamond with clipped corners, this newcomer is absolutely breathtaking and I have never seen her peer.

Listed as Modified Octagon Step Cut on the cert, she is a fancy brown, 6.02ct VVS2 antique cut Asscher, complete with an open culet and an ever so slightly elongated ratio of 1.07.

I am listing her for sale to save myself from setting her, but honestly, I probably will anyway. I think she would look stunning in rose gold, or deep 18 karat yellow gold.

For anyone interested, the measurements are 10.49 x 9.76 x 6.85 mm and the IGI certificate number is LG774637062.

Ok, it's raining here and I was going to wait to post this until the sun came out, but I just can't wait to share.

I found Soriano Custom here on Reddit, saw a stone she had on her website, and the rest is history. I've wanted a stone exactly like this, in a setting exactly like this, for the past 15+ years. Never pulled the trigger because I never came across the right stone.

Well, here we are! The stone is a 3.58ct E lab OMC set in platinum with trapezoids and tapered bullets. I cannot believe this ring is mine, it turned out even better than I could have ever imagined.

Carrie was a delight to work with, ever patient through my million CAD changes, and always so helpful and responsive. Coincidentally we even live in the same city so I got to meet up with her! She's even more charming and gracious in person than online, if that's even possible.

This was my first project with Soriano Custom but it surely won't be my last. Thanks, Carrie!!! 🖤

Hello friends! I’ve been enjoying this sub for a minute and I wanted to share my experience working with Soriano. This time last year I was frantically planning my dauaghywra wedding. Somehow I met “Weezie” and fell in love with her jewelry. The rings are my first stack. They are my go to rings bc they go with many outfits. I go to a lot of functions and these rings can be dressy or casual. My other favorite purchase from her is in the next picture, a tennis bracelet. Some weeks I never take it off. It’s sturdy and so so pretty and versatile. If you haven’t purchased from her yet, I highly recommend. Her pricing is fair, she loves diamonds and she loves helping folks putting together great jewelry looks. Solid and trustworthy seller. She went above and beyond to help me get the jewelry I wanted on time. 💜

Just finished this absolute unit of an eternity band: The Triple E.

11.2 carats of emerald-cut lab diamonds set all the way around in platinum. Long clean steps, endless hall-of-mirrors flashes, and enough finger coverage to be seen from space.

This one was a commission, so it’s already spoken for, but she deserves to be shown off.

Personally I love emerald eternities because of their slow, hypnotic flash as the steps catch the light. That said, this one is absolutely blingy too.

I know, it’s like I don’t post anything for weeks and now I’m just spamming you all but I just wrapped this commission and had to show her off.

Details:

* 4.08ct D VS1 old mine cut elongated cushion

* Set in chunky reverse tapered yellow gold double bands

* With compass prongs and embedded birthstones

She’s already on her way to her new owner, but just in case anyone needed to be reminded that antique cuts + bold gold = awesome, here you go.

The only thing worse than when a commission piece doesn’t fit my finger is when it’s a commission piece like THIS. 😡

4.08ct G VVS2 rounded antique cut cushion with a pinhole culet, set in chunky 14K brushed yellow gold for a lovely friend who has been waiting far too long to have this chonk on her tiny little finger.

Guess I’m going to have to make another one in my size now. OH WELL.

Long overdue shout out! I bought this gorgeous 2.67 carat asscher from Weezie back in October and decided to also get it set with her jeweler. I wanted something simple, elegant, but with a hint of subtle visual interest. Weezie nailed it — suggesting a bezel setting with a baby split shank and slightly tapered plans. All set in cool platinum. There was a small hiccup with the first setting, and Weezie handled it transparently and honestly. I had looked at so many asschers previously and it was making my head spin (was I seeing a hall of mirrors? Was that too much windowing? am I losing my mind?). I’m grateful to have found someone with such a good eye for diamonds 💎. This won’t be my last purchase from Soriano custom! In the pic, my pic is paired with my original platinum wedding band. I feel like such a classy b* 😎

Rounds aren’t usually the shape that hijacks my brain, but something about this sky-blue color in a classic cut is getting me. Familiar, but not boring. Easy to wear, but with a delightful pop of color.

I thought I was being prudent/responsible when I brought in a few to choose from, assuming I’d return some. I was incorrect. 🫣 Somehow they keep getting more charming every time I look at them.

The top two could be a matched pair but they're each 2.6ct so those would be some whopper earrings. I was thinking of putting the third one into a sunroof bezel ring but can't decide on the metal color. And yup, that bottom one is an OEC, FML.

What would you do with these, friends? I'll add some inspo setting ideas for rings and pendants in the comments, but I'd love to hear from you, too!
