Design an Engagement Ring That Feels Right
Designing an engagement ring at Lindwedel Jewelers starts with taking the time to understand what matters most to you. Some people arrive with a clear vision, while others are just starting to explore ideas, and both are completely normal. We walk through diamond shapes, engagement ring settings, metal options, and customization possibilities together so each step feels clear and easy to follow. As your ring starts to take shape, you’ll be able to review CAD designs and even try on a physical wax model made in your exact finger size. This allows you to see proportions, refine details, and move forward with confidence before the ring is ever made.
Whatever path you take, our goal is simple: thoughtful design, honest guidance, and no settling.

Their Ring. Their Story.
I cannot recommend Lindwedel Jewelers highly enough! My experience working with Sam while shopping for an engagement ring was truly exceptional. Out of all the jewelers I visited, Sam stood out as the absolute best. His meticulous attention to detail and genuine care gave me complete confidence that I was choosing the perfect ring for my fiancée.
I especially loved the customization process—Sam and I exchanged texts with different variations of the design until we achieved exactly what I envisioned. His patience and dedication made the entire journey enjoyable and stress-free.
Thanks to Sam and the team at Lindwedel Jewelers, they’ve earned a customer for life. If you’re searching for quality, expertise, and outstanding service, this is the place to go.

My fiancé and I went to Lindwedel Jewelers for my engagement ring, wedding band, and his wedding band and have had nothing short of an excellent experience every time we go in. They are so knowledgeable about jewelry, in our case we of course had many questions about diamonds and Sam was eager to answer! We will absolutely be going back to purchase more of their high quality jewelry to keep in our family for generations! Thank you Lindwedel’s!

Lindwedel Jewelers is the most personable, loving, accommodating, helpful, and happy place! I was worried that my inspiration picture for my engagement ring would be something out of their realm and that they would have limited services. Wow was I wrong! They 3D model any and all of your dream jewelry on their CAD software annd can even 3D print a mock-up ring to help you custom design anything your heart desires! They also give their input on designs that might not be as strong/durable for your lifestyle/needs and recommend great advice for any/all styles! I learned so much while designing my ring and it was only because of the Lindwedel’s knowledge and years of expertise! I would recommend them to everyone looking for a reliable and wise jeweler!

Stop your search for a jeweler in the STL area, because the Lindwedels have your back. My wife and I both purchased each other’s wedding ring here and could not be happier. Craftsmanship on both is A1, and Sam worked with us both to get lots of bang for our buck. Local feel and a personalized touch with a big-time product and reputation. You don’t need to go anywhere else for jewelry.

I had an awesome experience working with Sam at Lindwedel to pick out my fiancé’s engagement ring. I had no clue what I was doing when I walked in the door, but he made me feel comfortable from start to finish. He kept me in my price range, never pressured me, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Sam and his entire family and will be returning for all my other jewelry needs!
