About Krikawa Custom Jewelers
Krikawa Custom Jewelers is a Tucson jewelry business focused on custom-designed engagement rings, wedding bands, and other pieces made to order. Its contemporary showroom has brick walls, while its work ranges from classic solitaire rings to highly personal designs inspired by nature, architecture, music, symbols, and individual stories. Krikawa presents custom jewelry as a collaborative process, helping clients shape a ring around the details that matter to them rather than choosing from a limited set of standard styles.
The engagement ring collection includes nature-inspired designs featuring flowers, tree branches, leaves, vines, birds, animals, mountains, and ocean themes. Other categories include vintage, Art Deco, boho, luxury, bezel-set, prong-set, twisted, Celtic knot, infinity, fantasy, rustic, two-stone, and modern architectural rings. Classic solitaire, three-stone, halo, and split-shank halo designs are also available. The company also offers celebration rings, including gay and lesbian rings, empowerment rings, and divorce rings, reflecting a broad approach to marking important personal milestones.
Krikawa's wedding bands are made to order and can be customized through metal, gemstones, settings, textures, finishes, and personal details. The selection includes landscape and animal designs, floral and leaf patterns, infinity and knot bands, creative rings with symbols or words, vintage and hand-engraved styles, curved bands, diamond bands, textured rustic and hammered finishes, and modern two-tone or machine-lathed designs. Men's rings include diamond engagement rings, diamond wedding bands, signets, engineered designs, science-themed pieces, and interlocking puzzle rings. The site also offers made-to-order earrings, pendants, mokume-gane jewelry, custom lockets, and selected in-stock jewelry and gems.
Mokume-gane is a particular specialty. The ancient Japanese technique involves forging and folding metals together to create swirls of color, producing a wood-grain appearance in the finished jewelry. Krikawa offers mokume-gane engagement rings and wedding bands in styles that include bezel-set and prong-set solitaires, bypass and flush designs, halos, three-stone rings, classic bands, diamond and sapphire bands, and mountain-inspired designs. Clients can also explore platinum, white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, green gold, and stainless steel, along with natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, moissanite, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, alexandrite, spinel, and other gemstones. The company provides educational resources covering diamond characteristics, gemstone choices, ring sizing, settings, engravings, textures, finishes, and other design elements.
The design process can begin with a five-minute quiz, an online order, or a consultation with a design consultant. Clients who select a design from Krikawa's portfolio can order it online, after which it is made to order and assigned to a design consultant. Those who prefer a more direct collaboration can work with a designer through a consultation or virtual appointment. The site also provides information about how rings are made, standard and rush service, payment options, layaway, shipping, international services, and client support. Krikawa invites visitors to its Tucson showroom and offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, along with hundreds of 5-star reviews presented on its website.
