WE'LL HAVE THAT AND ALL YOUR LATEST FORECAST COMING UP ON 22NEWS. Ashley: AS TED LIKES TO SAY, WHY BUY AN ENGAGEMENT RING THAT SOMEONE ELSE DESIGNED WHEN YOU CAN SIT DOWN AND DESIGN YOUR VERY OWN. TED'S CREATIVE JEWELERS ARE LOOKING TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU TO CUSTOM DESIGN YOUR VERY OWN JULIE. THE CAUGHT UP WITH OWNER TED BLAIS TO LEARN MORE AND SEE HOW CUSTOMERS CAN CREATE ONE OF A KIND WORKS OF ART. IF SOMEONE COMES IN WITH THEIR GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S ENGAGEMENT RING AND WANTS TO CREATE A A NEW RING WITH THAT STONE. FIRST OFF WE HAVE TO DECIDE DO YOU WANT SIDE STONES OR DO YOU WANT TO KEEP IT SOLITARY. IF YOUIF YOU WANT SIDE STONES WE HAVE LIMITLESS IDEAS WE CAN DO. THIS IS ONLY ONE OF EIGHT PAGES. I CAN CHANGE THESE STONES HERE TO MAKE IT HER BIRTH STONE OR HIS BIRTH STONE OR ONE OF EACH. I CAN CHANGE HOW MANY STONES, OR THE SIZE OF THE STONES. I CAN CHANGE HOW HIGH THIS IS. I CAN MAKE THIS THINNER, I CAN MAKE IT THICKER. BASICALLY IT COMES DOWN TO WHEN YOU WANT TO CHANGE THIS THIS TO SOMETHING ELSE IT'S LIMITLESS. Ashley: I CAN SIT HERE WITH YOU AND LITERALLY SPEND AN HOUR AND DESIGN A RING WITH YOU. ABSOLUTELY. IT'S ONE-OF-A-KIND. Ashley: THAT NO ONE ELSE WOULD HAVE. WE CAN CHANGE THE SIZE OF THE CENTER STONE BECAUSE YOU'RE BRINGING IN A RING TO ME THAT I DON'T HAVE RINGS THAT HAVE EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. WE CAN MAKE IT TO WHAT WE NEED. Ashley: EXACTLY. AND YOU CAN CHANGE IT ACCORDING TO WHAT YOU THINK THAT PERSON WOULD LIKE. CORRECT. WE CAN BUY THE GOLD, LEFTOVER GOLD, WE CAN BUY OLD GOLD, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS WE CAN DO AND DIFFERENT OPTIONS WE CAN DO. WE CAN CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE GOLD TO WHITE GOLD, PLATINUM, SILVER. WE CAN FIT ANY BUDGET. Ashley: DOES IT COST ANY MORE TO BE ABLE TO DESIGN YOUR OWN RING? IT SAVES YOU MONEY. IF YOU GO SOMEWHERE THAT HAS A BIG NAME DESIGNER, I'M NOT GOING TO NAME ANY, IT WILL COST YOU BECAUSE THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR NAME ON IT. HERE YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR OWN NAME ON IT. Ashley: YOU'RE THE DESIGNER. NOT ME, YOU'RE THE DESIGNER. Ashley: THE CUSTOMER. EXACTLY. YOU ARE ABLE TO INCORPORATE A STONE THAT IS PASSED THROUGH GENERATIONS. CORRECT, CORRECT. WE KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY. Ashley: YES, EXACTLY. ONCE YOU DESIGN--EVERY SINGLE DETAIL OF THE RING, DO YOU HAVE TO COME IN EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO CHANGE SOMETHING? ABSOLUTELY NOT. WHAT I CAN DO IS I CAN DO A RENDERING OF THE RING TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE. ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH THE BASIC DESIGN YOU CAN GO HOME. YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO, AND I CAN SEND YOU AN E-MAIL, IS THIS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT WITH THE LET ME KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCES ARE. I COME BACK, CHANGE IT, AND E-MAIL IT. Ashley: YOU CAN E-MAIL BACK AND FORTH. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE IN THE STORE FOR THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. Ashley: IF SOMEONE WANTS TO RUN IT BY A FRIEND OR GET A SECOND OPINION, THEY CAN DO THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU9ONNNsñ KNOW THE CHANGES AND COMMUNICATE THROUGH E-MAIL. WE CAN COMMUNICATE THROUGH E-MAIL AND WE CAN COMPLETE EVERYTHING. Ashley: NOW WHAT I THINK IS REALLY COOL, YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUT THE RING ON A FINGER HERE, CHANGE THE NAIL COLOR, WHICH IS NEAT, AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE ON HER HAND. IT'S THE TRY ON FEATURE. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE A COMPUTER GENERATOR. WE CAN DO IT AGAIN WITH A RENDER AND GET AN ACTUAL LOOKING LIKE A HAND, WE CAN SAVE IT TO THE LIBRARY AND E-MAIL IT TO ANYONE IN THE WORLD. Ashley: JUST MAKE SURE THAT ONE SPECIAL PERSON DOESN'T SEE IT. EXACTLY. Ashley: NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ENGAGEMENT RING, TED, BUT LET'S MOVE ON TO OTHER JULIE. LET'S SAY I BRING IN A LOOSE STONE THAT I WOULD LINE TO INCORPORATE IN A NECKLACE, I CAN DESIGN THAT AS WELL. WE CAN DO THAT, TOO. WE'LL COME OVER TO THE PENDANT SECTION. THIS IS A BEZZELLE. YOU WOULD HAVE A STONE SIMILAR TO THIS. WE COULD DESIGN--WHAT WE DO WE MEASURE THE STONE, MAKE IT THE DIMENSION THAT WE NEED UP HERE, WHICH WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT LARGER THAN RIGHT THERE, AND WE CAN DO THAT. IF WE WANT TO ADD A STONE WE WOULD ADD A STONE. THIS TAKES A LITTLE WHILE TO DO. I CAN'T JUST. Ashley: HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO DESIGN A PIECE OF JEWELRY. IT DEPEND ON WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE PIECE. IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 15 MINUTES TO COUPLE OF HOURS DEPENDING ON HOW CRITICAL. I'VE HAD ONE PIECE WHERE I WORKED 10, 11 HOURS. Ashley: THAT'S A SPECIAL PIECE. IT WAS ONE BEAUTIFUL ENGAGEMENT RING, IT WAS AMAYING. Ashley: WE TALK ABOUT ENGAGEMENT RINGS, MAKING A PEN PENDANT OUT OF A STONE. WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO WITH THIS? WE CAN MAKE MOTHER'S RINGS, TAKE THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT STONES, TAKE THIS AND CHANGE IT. WE CAN PUT THE CORRECT BIRTH STONES FOR THE THREE KID. IF WE WANT MORE STONES WE PUT MORE STONES. Ashley: TED, I DECIDED. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WANT. I LOVE IT, I WANT TO ORDER IT, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE. EIGHT TO TEN DAYS. CLICK, AND THEN YOU CAN GET IT.
