A custom moissanite engagement ring gives you the freedom to choose the stone, setting, metal, proportions, and details instead of settling for a limited selection of premade designs. We can modify one of the rings shown below, combine features from several designs, or create something entirely new from your photographs, sketches, or ideas.
Choose the shape and size of the center moissanite, the type and placement of the accent stones, the width and profile of the band, and details such as engraving, milgrain, filigree, hidden stones, or contrasting metals. Before the ring is made, you will receive detailed CAD renderings and have an opportunity to review the design and request reasonable changes.

Moissanite is a gemstone composed of silicon carbide. Natural moissanite is extremely rare, so the stones used in modern jewelry are created in laboratories. Colorless synthetic moissanite became widely available for jewelry during the late 1990s and is now a popular engagement-ring stone because of its brilliance, colorful fire, durability, and price.
Moissanite is not a diamond, and it is not a lab-grown diamond. It is a different gemstone with its own chemical, physical, and optical properties. The two can look similar, but moissanite should be selected because you like its appearance and advantages—not because it is being represented as something else.
Moissanite allows many customers to select a larger center stone or devote more of their budget to the ring itself. Instead of paying primarily for the rarity of a natural diamond, you can invest in a more elaborate setting, additional accent stones, engraving, heavier metal, or other custom details.
It is also a practical choice for someone who wants a bright center stone suitable for frequent wear. Moissanite measures approximately 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it harder than most gemstones used in jewelry, although it is not as hard as diamond.
Common reasons for choosing moissanite include:
Price and size are important, but they should not be the only considerations. Moissanite has a different visual character from diamond, particularly in larger stones and certain lighting. Some people prefer its intense rainbow fire, while others prefer the light pattern and appearance of diamond.
This Split Shank Double Halo Engagement Ring gives you a look not seen in the big box stores. The double halo surrounds a cushion cut stone in this one, but any square or round shape will work. There are also around 1/3 of a carat on the sides of the knife edge shank.
As you can see, there are benefits other than the cost of having a custom moissanite R
.ing made, whether engagement or any other type. While CZ is a budget-friendly diamond alternative, it fades and isn’t very durable. You can always tell an old CZ ring because the stones are all beat up. CZ gemstones are mass-produced, often cut by machine. And usually not very well cut. They are hard to the point of being brittle and do not hold color or clarity. Moissanite is very durable. However, the most attractive benefit to many is the eco-friendly nature of a lab stone. There are no mines, no forced labor, and no warlords creating Moissanite. So you can feel good about buying it.
Moissanite and diamond are different gemstones. Diamond is composed of carbon, while moissanite is silicon carbide. Lab-grown diamonds have essentially the same chemical and physical properties as natural diamonds; moissanite does not. It is classified as a diamond simulant because it can provide a diamond-like appearance without being diamond.
One of the clearest visual differences is fire—the colored flashes produced as white light separates into spectral colors. Moissanite generally displays more fire than diamond, which may produce noticeable rainbow flashes under direct or concentrated lighting. Diamond often displays a different balance of brightness, fire, and scintillation.
Moissanite is also doubly refractive, while diamond is singly refractive. In some stones, particularly larger examples, this can cause the rear facets to appear doubled or slightly blurred when viewed at particular angles. The effect varies with the cut, orientation, size, and viewer.
Neither stone is automatically better. A natural diamond may appeal to someone who values geological origin, rarity, and the traditional diamond market. A lab-grown diamond offers diamond’s material properties at a lower initial cost than a comparable natural stone. Moissanite offers its own distinctive appearance, high durability, and considerable size for the price.

Moissanite is available in almost all of the of the same shapes used for diamonds.
Round moissanite provides a balanced outline and strong overall sparkle. Oval, pear, and marquise stones create an elongated appearance and can provide greater visible coverage across the finger. Cushion and radiant shapes combine a substantial outline with brilliant-style faceting.
Emerald and Asscher shapes use broad step-cut facets. They produce a more geometric pattern with larger flashes of light rather than the smaller, rapid sparkle associated with brilliant cuts. Because moissanite is doubly refractive and highly dispersive, step-cut moissanite can look noticeably different from a step-cut diamond.
The exact shape is only the beginning. Length-to-width ratio, depth, facet arrangement, corner shape, and cutting style can make two moissanite stones with the same basic shape look very different.
Moissanite is often sold according to its dimensions or diamond-equivalent appearance rather than its actual carat weight. Because moissanite and diamond have different densities, stones with identical measurements do not weigh the same.
Millimeter dimensions are usually more useful than carat terminology when planning a custom ring. A 6.5-millimeter round stone, for example, gives us clearer information for designing the prongs, basket, halo, and band than a general description based only on equivalent weight.
When choosing a size, consider:
A large stone may require additional support or a wider band to keep the ring visually and physically balanced. We can adjust the dimensions and setting so the finished design looks intentional rather than simply placing the largest possible stone on a narrow band.
We have created a quite a few Flower Engagement Rings, and with the floral tension setting, this one has become our most successful style of Flower Engagement Rings. This one has a 5mm center stone, but 4mm or a larger one could be used.
Moissanite may range from colorless to near-colorless, and some stones can show subtle yellow, gray, green, or other undertones under particular lighting or viewing angles. Color becomes more noticeable in some shapes and larger stones.
A bright white stone may work well in platinum or white gold. A slightly warmer stone can look attractive in yellow or rose gold, where the metal color makes the warmth appear more intentional.
Do not rely entirely on a marketing grade or description. The cutting, transparency, undertone, facet pattern, and actual appearance of the stone are all important. When possible, compare clear photographs or videos rather than choosing solely from a label.
A solitaire keeps the focus on the center stone in a custom moissanite engagement ring. The setting may be traditional and understated or include a more distinctive band, basket, or side profile.
Four-prong settings expose more of the stone and create a less obstructed outline. Six prongs provide additional contact points and can give a round stone a more traditional appearance. Cathedral shoulders, split shanks, hidden accents, twisted bands, and contrasting metals can make a solitaire more personal without surrounding the center stone with additional gems.
Because the center stone is fully exposed visually, its dimensions, cut, and setting height become especially important.
A halo surrounds the center moissanite with smaller stones, increasing the ring’s overall visual coverage and adding another layer of sparkle. The halo may follow the exact outline of the center stone or use a contrasting shape.
A hidden halo places the accent stones beneath the center stone rather than around its face-up outline. It is most visible from the side and adds detail without making the center stone look substantially wider from above.
The center and halo stones do not have to be the same material in a custom moissanite engagement ring. A moissanite center may be paired with diamond or moissanite accents. The choice affects the price and can create slight differences in fire, color, and appearance.
A three-stone ring places two side stones next to the center moissanite. The three stones may be the same shape or use contrasting shapes, such as an oval center with pear-shaped sides.
Side stones affect both the style and total width of the ring. They must be proportioned carefully so they support the center stone rather than compete with it. Smaller stones create a gradual transition into the band, while larger side stones produce a broader, more substantial arrangement.
Moissanite can also be used in two-stone, five-stone, cluster, bypass, and asymmetrical designs. Custom design makes it possible to adjust the spacing, angles, and stone sizes around the wearer’s hand rather than forcing the stones into a standard mounting.
Small stones can be added to the band through pavé, bead, channel, bezel, flush, or prong settings. Each method produces a different appearance and level of exposure.
Pavé creates a continuous field of sparkle across the surface of the band. Channel setting places stones between metal walls for a smoother, more structured appearance. Flush-set stones sit within the metal and can provide a subtle accent with fewer raised edges.
The most appropriate setting depends on the stone size, band width, design, and wearer’s routine. Very thin bands and extremely delicate settings may look attractive in enlarged photographs but can be less practical for long-term wear.
Moissanite can be incorporated into vintage-inspired designs featuring milgrain, filigree, engraving, halos, geometric arrangements, and detailed galleries. It also works well in Art Deco rings with strong symmetry, stepped forms, and contrasting stone shapes.
Nature-inspired rings may include flowers, leaves, vines, branches, birds, animals, or other organic elements. These details can form the entire structure of the ring or appear more subtly beneath the center stone and along the shoulders.
A custom ring does not have to copy an antique piece exactly. We can use the design language of a particular period while changing the proportions, stone shape, profile, or construction to make the ring better suited to modern wear.
A Custom moissanite engagement ring can be made in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, or combinations of metals.
Yellow gold provides warmth and creates a noticeable contrast with a colorless center stone. White gold produces a bright, neutral appearance that blends visually with the stones. Rose gold adds softer color and can make floral, vintage, and romantic designs feel more pronounced. Platinum has a naturally white color and a heavier feel.
Two-tone construction can separate the center setting visually from the band. For example, the prongs and basket may be made in a white metal while the shank is yellow or rose gold.
The metal should be selected according to more than color. Budget, weight, maintenance, setting style, ring dimensions, and possible future resizing should also be considered.

The final price depends on the entire ring rather than the center stone alone. Important factors include:
A simple solitaire generally costs less than a ring with a halo, extensive pavé, multiple stone shapes, hand engraving, or complex sculptural details. We can often adjust the dimensions, materials, or number of accent stones to bring a design closer to a particular budget without removing the features that matter most to you.
The process begins with a conversation about what you want. Send us inspiration photographs, drawings, links, or a description of the ring. We will discuss the stone shape and size, metal, ring size, design details, preferred wedding-band fit, and budget.
Once the specifications and price are agreed upon, a deposit is required to begin the CAD design. We then create detailed renderings that show the ring from multiple angles. You can review the proportions and request reasonable changes before approving it for production.
After approval, the ring is cast or manufactured in the selected metal. It is polished and finished, any engraving or texture is added, and the moissanite and accent stones are set. The completed ring is inspected, and photographs can be sent before it is shipped.
You do not need to understand CAD, stone setting, or jewelry manufacturing before contacting us. Bring us the parts you know, and we will help work through the remaining decisions.
This is one of our Floral Engagement Rings that has a split shank crossover band. One of the shanks is accented while the other is given a high polish. It makes for a beautiful effect.

No. Moissanite and diamond are different gemstones. Lab-grown diamonds have essentially the same chemical and physical properties as natural diamonds, while moissanite is silicon carbide and has its own optical characteristics.
Not exactly. The two may look similar at first glance, but moissanite generally produces stronger rainbow-colored fire and can display facet doubling because it is doubly refractive. These differences may be more noticeable in larger stones and certain lighting.
Yes. A moissanite center can be combined with natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, moissanite, sapphires, or other appropriate gemstones. We can discuss the differences in appearance and price before finalizing the design.
Yes. After the project begins, we create CAD renderings so you can review the ring from multiple angles. Reasonable revisions can be made before you approve the design for production.
