Yes, Peter Norman provides a Los Angeles instore consultation service to help you take an engagement ring design from idea, to concept to the finished piece.

Why.. with Peter Norman of course! Peter is one of the most celebrated jewelers in Los Angeles.  NONE of his pieces are off the shelf, or even only customized.  Each piece is an original.  Got your own metals or gemstones from a family heirloom?  Bring them in and let Peter bring new life to them. Or start from new – your chose.

Indeed we can!  With Covid-19 this has become a much larger part of our business.  We can correspond by email, chat with you over Zoom, present design sketches, models of pieces etc.  Many of our engagement ring customers never step foot inside our store.

Well, look, we are biased as of course we think we are… but if you wanted to instead rely on reviews, Peter Norman has the highest number of 5-star reviews of any jeweler in Los Angeles and has been around for over 20 years. But don’t take our word for it – we are ranked the No.1 Jeweler in LA. So don’t just talk out word for it, take the word of our many hundreds of happy customers.

All Peter Norman pieces are unique.  The jewelry on our website are examples of our work, but each piece is custom made and no two pieces are ever identical.  Unlike other stores that offer you the chance to customise a piece… all our pieces are 100% custom, not customized.

If the best place is the place where you have the most custom options, an instore consultancy, wholesale prices on mined and lab-grown diamonds, the highest ratings for any jeweler in the USA, let alone Los Angeles, then Peter Norman’s is the best place for Los Angeles engagement rings.

Peter Norman jewelry can design and manufacture a vintage-style engagement ring, though we do not directly trade in vintage engagement rings.

It depends on a number of factors. For instance, will there be only one stone or will there be many? Pavé style bands and halos can also add carats to an engagement ring, even if a focal stone is modest in size.

Don’t forget that the cut of a stone can factor into weight and also perceived size. A well-cut high-quality stone in an ideal setting can make a ring look larger and more impressive. This is where working with an expert custom jeweler can save you money while giving you an engagement ring that leaves a big impression, no matter the number of carats.

Yes, we do.  Moissanite is a beautiful stone for engagement rings and we are selling more and more moissanite engagement rings

Peter Norman are one of Los Angeles leading sellers of lab-grown diamond engagement rings.  Demand for such stones is booming and no wonder.  A lab-grown diamond is indistinguishable from a mined diamond to the natural eye but is available at a much lower cost.  Brilliance and beauty, on a budget.

There’s no specific minimum weight, most people buy the best diamond they can afford. 

Here in the United States, the average engagement ring has a one-carat stone. In the United Kingdom and Europe, the size of engagement ring diamonds is slightly smaller at about half a carat. In the end, an engagement diamond’s weight comes down to the preferences of the giver and the wearer.

Any time is a good time to upgrade! Many people may feel like upgrading engagement rings when they’re more financially comfortable. 

Upgrading engagement rings to mark significant life events is also very common, think big birthdays, important anniversaries, or the birth or graduation of a child. If you’re looking for engagement ring upgrade ideas, check out Peter Norman’s guide.
