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
