How to Make a Custom Engagement Ring
If you’ve landed here, you’re likely in research mode for one of the biggest decisions of your life – let’s acknowledge that…
We know that this process can feel overwhelming and scary – but it doesn’t need to be.
Let’s get right into it.
To start, we’ll look at the main elements which make your engagement ring unique.
Centre Stone Type:
This makes the biggest impact on the overall look of your ring. When choosing a centre stone that speaks to you and your partner, go with what feels right.
Options include: mined diamonds, lab grown diamonds, sapphire, moissanite, morganite
Centre Stone Shape:
After the stone type, shape contributes the most to your ring’s personality.
Options include: round, oval, pear, marquise, cushion, princess, emerald
Accent Stones:
You can choose to feature smaller diamonds on your band, or beside your centre stone. Accent stones help to define your ring’s personality and can make your ring look modern or antique.
Accent diamond options include: pavé, side stones
Halo:
A halo is a circle of diamonds that encircles your centre stone. You can choose to include a halo or let the stone stand on its own. A halo can enhance the size of your centre stone.
Halo options include: slim style, antique style
Gold Colour:
Your final choice will be the colour of gold that will compliment your design. We recommend using the colour of gold that the recipient wears most in daily life.
Options include: 18K white, 14K white, 18K yellow, 14K yellow, 14K rose, platinum
These may seem like a lot of choices, but don’t get discouraged. You’re probably further ahead than you think! The most important thing is to design a ring that reflects your partner’s taste and lifestyle. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, a seasoned designer can help guide you through the design process.
