Criss-cross Wrap Diamond Engagement Ring
Item #102477 $3,966 Price does not include center stoneEngagement Ring Description
Tension Set Diamond
The diamond at the center of this piece is one carat and round brilliant cut. The tension setting that holds it in place arises naturally from the criss-cross shank below, with a strand from one side wrapping around the top of the stone, while the corresponding strand from the other side cradles the bottom of the diamond.
This type of setting keeps the profile of the ring low, and it also helps highlight the perfectly round shape of the diamond. Although diamonds are the most popular choice as the centerpiece of an engagement ring, there are many ways to set and accent them, which means that you can stick with tradition while still creating a unique and personal piece.

Criss-cross Shank and Diamond Accents
The band of this ring begins as one piece across the bottom, but it splits in two at about the three-quarter point on each side. The two strands then bow out and then back in with a gentle movement that allows them to cross over each other twice before transitioning into the main setting at the top. Diamond Engagement Rings
One strand remains solid metal all the way up, and this is the one that continues up to wrap around the center diamond on each side. The other strand is lined with split prong set diamond accents starting right at the spot of the split. These continue up to the top, stopping only when the strands meet the sides of the main setting. This arrangement gives the piece a nice balance and sense of continuity, as it helps emphasize the smooth, elegant lines of the band and center setting.

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.
