You can start your own project by visiting either of our showrooms, customizing an existing ring on our website, or submitting a custom design form. You will be able to communicate with your designer through a private online messaging system, and we'll make sure you're 100% with your design at every step of the way.
Black Diamond Center
This diamond is considered "salt and pepper" because of its large black spots mixed with white. The client wanted to investigate different black diamonds, including natural versus treated, so we brought in several different stones for them to view. They ended up choosing this unique oval center stone. Diamond Engagement Rings
Modified Halo
A modified halo frames the center diamond. It is different than a traditional halo, which would have evenly spaced and sized diamonds all the way around in a continuous shape. For this halo, at each point of the compass, the halo slightly points outward. Then, the halo slightly curves inward and pinches in at each prong point where the prongs are holding the center stone in the ring. Unique Engagement Rings
The band of this ring flows with the style of the halo. Every three diamonds, the band pinches inward on both sides, creating a scalloped look.
Customization Options
This ring could be customized in so many ways. With a morganite center stone and rose gold metal, the look would become much warmer. On the other hand, adding milgrain to the current design would add a vintage aesthetic.
