Find Her "Perfect Fit": Why John Atencio is Denver's Destination for Bespoke Engagement Rings
Finding your soulmate is truly magical. When you're ready to get engaged, you’ll want the perfect ring to symbolize your bond. Since your relationship is unique, the ring should be, too.
A custom design beautifully honors your one-of-a-kind love, especially when you shop at the right place. Read on to learn why John Atencio is well known for offering some of the very best engagement rings in Denver.
Tailored to Your Love Story
No one understands your partner like you. What better way to showcase this truth than with a fully personalized ring? Opting for a customized engagement ring allows you creative control over the design and aesthetic, setting your design apart from the rest.
Unfortunately, when many couples get engaged, they simply visit a chain jeweler to select one of many pre-made ring options without realizing custom creation is an option. In fact, couples often don't even know that designers like John Atencio will collaborate with them to conceptualize a fully custom piece.
Choosing a bespoke John Atencio engagement ring conveys the uniqueness of your relationship. John's rings are painstakingly crafted to optimize elegance and durability. Unlike typical jewelers who use standardized mounts for any gem, John's settings are sized to flawlessly fit your chosen center stone. This results in optimal structural integrity and visual harmony that makes your distinctive ring truly one of a kind.
The Customization Process
When you decide to have your ring designed by John Atencio, you’ll be embarking on a two-month collaboration. It takes this long to turn your vision into reality, but the results are well worth the wait, especially when you see what goes into the process.
During the customization process, our team will work with you closely on all steps, showing a variety of ring styles and center stone shapes. With a clear understanding of your budget and preferences, our attentive sales consultants will carefully guide you to make a custom piece that’s consistent with the ring of your dreams. Here's an overview of the steps:
Step 1 — Gather Inspiration through Pinterest, Instagram, and anywhere else to find custom ring ideas, including reviewing John’s Engagement ring designs for added inspiration.
Step 2 — Define your budget by deciding how much you feel comfortable investing in this meaningful heirloom. (As a ring she'll cherish forever, it's undoubtedly worth the splurge).
Step 3 — Consult a John Atencio Bridal Specialist who will bring your vision to our skilled team. They will work closely with you, guiding you to make sure you create the custom ring of your dreams that meets John’s high standards for quality.
Step 4 — Select the metal, whether it’s their classic 18-karat yellow gold, white gold, romantic rose gold or platinum.
Step 5 —Thoughtfully choose the center stone and accent stones. John Atencio offers exquisite, ethically sourced diamonds and colored gemstones - and they can source gemstones for you from their long-standing suppliers to meet your vision.
Step 6 — Review the CAD Renderings, a digital model of your custom creation completed by the John Atencio team for your review and feedback before crafting begins.
Step 7 — Authorize a wax version of the setting's design before final casting.
At this point, you’ll wait for the mounting to be hand-fabricated, followed by the stone setting into the finely crafted ring. After that, your one-of-a-kind ring will be ready for that once-in-a-lifetime moment! Bear in mind the creation process time varies, but we generally allow at least 4-6 weeks once everything is finalized, approved and ready to go. So, it’s best to get started as soon as possible.
Presenting a flawlessly crafted customized ring is both exceptionally meaningful and easily achievable with help from John Atencio. Simply gather ideas and schedule a visit with a bridal consultant to make your dream design a reality. Because when you give her an authentic John Atencio creation, you’re not just offering an engagement ring – you’re offering a wearable work of art that will last a lifetime of love.
Engagement Ring Shopping Denver: Sustainable, Ethical Designs

Few jewelers match John’s unflinching integrity and standards.

This enables customers to feel at ease knowing John's gems are completely free of any ties to environmental harm or questionable sourcing methods.
