If you live locally, you’re welcome to drop by our Bellevue, WA showroom anytime to view sample pieces and discuss your ideas for a custom design project. If that’s not convenient for you, however, we can also work through the design process entirely online, and we’ll even ship you a wax model of your ring so you can make sure it’s exactly what you had in mind before you give your final approval for us to begin production.
Solitaire Diamond
The round brilliant cut diamond at the top of this ring is tension set between the two sides of the wrapped, 18k white gold shank. These frame it nicely on two sides while leaving the other two open, an arrangement that allows plenty of light to reach the diamond while still keeping the stone protected from the hazards of everyday wear. Diamond Engagement Rings
The way the two sides of the shank run past the diamond create a nice contrast between the perfect curves of the stone and the straight lines of the setting. The band is otherwise straight, and it thickens gradually as it nears the top to accommodate the depth of the stone.
Customization Options
You can quickly introduce some contrast to this piece by switching to rose or yellow gold for the setting. Alternately, you could select a colored diamond or other type of gemstone for the center. Sapphires are a particularly popular alternative to diamonds in engagement rings, and they’re available in many different colors. Custom Engagement Rings
The shape of the diamond also impacts the overall appearance of the piece, and some options in that category include oval, marquise, or cushion cut. Of course, you may want to work in some accent stones as well, and our designers can help you determine the best way to do this while still maintaining the structural integrity and graceful lines of the design.
