Description
This stylish men’s wedding ring features black diamonds in a modified eternity design, set in palladium with custom engraving. It was created for clients from Seattle, WA as part of a wedding set to match ring #102045. Our team took the ideas the clients brought us and put together some rough designs, which the clients then modified until they had exactly what they were looking for.

Black Diamonds
The black diamonds running nearly all the way around this ring make a dramatic statement with their sparkle and bold, rich color. They also carry with them connotations of passion, certainty, love, and romance, making them a great choice for this type of ring.
Setting and Finish
There are several different ways to set stones in an eternity pattern, and each creates a slightly different look and feel for the overall piece. That makes changing the type of setting a good way to add your own personal touch to a design. For instance, the channel setting used here generates a sleek modern look, but if you prefer a more classical style, you might opt for bright cut set stones instead.
Another often-overlooked design element is the type of finish on a ring. This piece uses a brush finish to accentuate the sparkle of the diamonds by gently contrasting it. But you could also choose a polished finish to make the whole ring shine.
Shank Options
For this ring, our clients chose a Euro shank, which is slightly squared on the bottom to help keep it from spinning on the finger when worn. The squared area of the shank also corresponds to the spot where the diamonds and engraving stop, helping to bring a nice balance to the piece visually as well as physically.
The palladium used here was chosen for its cool grey color as well as its strength and durability. However, other metals will also work well with this design, and they can even add a touch of color. One option would be to switch to yellow or rose gold, which would create a more classical look while still contrasting beautifully with the dramatic color of the black diamonds.

Customer reviews
Great quality, professionalism and overall experience
Bonnie was fantastic throughout the entire process. My husband and I came in with a rough design and she helped us perfect it by showing us options and new ideas. She made sure we were happy with every detail via the online messaging system on the web site before production started. We were happy with the price as well. We went to 2 other custom jewelry places and were quoted almost double what we paid at Joseph Jewelry. Lastly, when our rings were completed, Bonnie seemed just as excited as we were. We have already recommended this jeweler to 3 friends. Fantastic experience!
