Whether you’re interested in a ring much like this one, or you’d like to take your design in a different direction, our team of skilled designers is here to help.

Center Setting
The center diamond in this ring is a 0.80 carat round brilliant cut. It’s framed beautifully in a four prong setting made of 18k white gold, and the openness of the setting really lets the stone shine from every angle. The prongs in the main setting are squared, which stands in opposition to the perfectly round shape of the diamond. It also creates a link with the squared band, helping to unite all elements of the piece. Diamond Engagement Rings
Accent Diamonds
Six round diamonds, tapering in size, run down each of the shank shoulders, stopping just before the half-way point. These are all split prong set, a choice of setting which gives the piece a bit of classical flair. The tapering of the diamonds follows the contours of the band itself, which also narrows as it moves away from the center setting, and this helps the center diamond really stand out, especially when the ring is viewed straight on from the top.
Customization Options
There are many ways to customize a piece like this to make it more your own. For instance, you could use a different type of gemstone to replace some or all of the accent diamonds. Pink sapphires would be an excellent choice and a good way to work in some extra romantic flair, or you might want to use your partner’s birthstone as a way of including an especially personal detail.
You can also experiment with different types of metal and setting options. One example of this could be to switch to bright cut settings for the accent stones to give the ring a more vintage feel. Using rose or yellow gold in that case would help intensify that effect, and it would also create a nice contrast with the brilliant white of the diamonds. Design Your Own Engagement Ring

Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
