18k Yellow Gold Custom Solitaire Engagement Ring With Tapered Shank
Item #102005 $2,924 Price does not include center stoneEngagement Ring Description
Diamond Solitaire
A diamond solitaire is a traditional choice for an engagement ring, and this variation on the theme really works to highlight the natural beauty of the center stone. In this ring, that is a 0.84 carat round brilliant cut diamond, held securely in place with four platinum prongs. Diamond Engagement Rings
The minimalist design of the setting shows as much of the diamond as possible, which really lets its sparkle shine through. The brilliant white of the platinum also works well to intensify the diamond’s brilliance and draw attention to its natural beauty.
Subtle Design Decisions
While there isn’t a lot of ornate metalwork or a high concentration of gemstones incorporated into this design, there are several subtle touches employed which give the piece an overall feeling of understated elegance.
These include a slight knife edge on the shank, which extends up into a point as it reaches the center setting. This creates a small space below the diamond where the lower portions of the band cross over each other, eventually becoming the prongs holding the stone on place. These types of design details are easily overlooked, but in the end, they are what add up to make the piece truly one-of-a-kind.

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.
