Custom Solitaire Engagement Rings

A solitaire engagement ring places one principal diamond or gemstone at the center of the design. Although the basic concept is simple, the ring can be customized through the stone shape, setting height, prong style, band width, metal, engraving, and side-profile details.

Browse our solitaire engagement rings below for inspiration. We can modify any design shown here or create a completely new ring around your preferred center stone, style, and budget.

Design a Solitaire Engagement Ring Around Your Stone

The center stone is the main focus of a solitaire ring, so its shape, dimensions, and setting should be considered together. Round, oval, cushion, emerald, radiant, pear, marquise, princess, and other shapes can all be used, but each requires different proportions and support.

You may choose a natural diamond, lab-grown diamond, moissanite, sapphire, ruby, emerald, or another suitable gemstone. The ring can also be designed around a stone you already own, provided its exact measurements and condition are known.

Solitaire Setting Styles

A traditional prong setting exposes more of the center stone and allows light to enter from several directions. Four-prong settings create a more open appearance, while six prongs provide additional points of contact and often give round stones a more traditional look.

A cathedral setting raises the stone between arches that rise from the band. A bezel surrounds the stone with a rim of metal for a smoother and more protective profile. Basket, trellis, tulip, tension-style, and low-profile settings can also be incorporated depending on the stone and design.

A solitaire does not have to be plain. Engraving, filigree, milgrain, hidden stones, contrasting metals, sculpted details, or an unusual basket can add character without taking attention away from the center stone.

Choosing the Band

The width and profile of the band affect both the appearance and comfort of the ring. A narrow band can make the center stone appear more prominent, while a wider band creates a more substantial look and provides additional room for engraving or decorative metalwork.

The band may be straight, tapered, split, twisted, knife-edged, rounded, flat, or sculpted around the center setting. Polished, brushed, hammered, and other finishes can also change the character of the design.

Metals for Solitaire Engagement Rings

Solitaire rings can be made in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, platinum, or a combination of metals. Yellow and rose gold create a warmer appearance, while white gold and platinum provide a bright neutral background around the center stone.

A two-tone ring can use a white-metal setting with a yellow- or rose-gold band. This allows the prongs to blend visually with a colorless stone while preserving the contrasting metal color elsewhere in the design.

Setting Height and Everyday Wear

A higher setting can make more of the center stone visible and may allow a straight wedding band to sit beneath it. It can also catch more easily on clothing, gloves, or other objects.

A lower setting generally feels more compact and may be better suited to someone who works frequently with their hands. The best height depends on the stone’s depth, the setting style, the desired wedding-band fit, and how the ring will be worn.

Pairing the Ring With a Wedding Band

Some solitaire engagement rings sit closely beside a straight wedding band, while others require a curved or fitted band. The basket, prongs, cathedral arches, and height of the center stone all affect the available clearance.

When possible, it is helpful to consider the wedding band while designing the engagement ring. We can adjust the profile to accommodate the type of band you prefer or create a matching band around the engagement ring’s exact dimensions.

How the Custom Process Works

The process begins with your ideas, inspiration images, preferred stone, metal, ring size, and budget. You may select one of the rings shown above as a starting point or ask us to combine features from several designs.

After the design direction and price are established, a deposit is required to begin the CAD model. You will receive detailed renderings showing the ring from multiple angles and can request reasonable changes before approving it for production.

Once approved, the ring is manufactured in your chosen metal, polished, finished, and set with the center stone. We inspect the completed ring and send photographs before shipping.

Send us a design from this collection, a photograph of a ring you like, or the specifications of the center stone you want to use. We will help you refine the setting, proportions, profile, and other details to create a solitaire engagement ring built around your preferences.

FAQ's

There is not set cost for a custom engagement ring. But in general, they start at $375 for something in silver up to an inch wide or tall and go up from there. Gold and platinum are more price dependent upon the weight that silver is. So there is not a starting cost for those metals.
We use a Computer Aided Design program and lost wax casting to create our custom jewelry.
Unfortunately, not really. We do not do any design work until a deposit has been paid, which is half of the cost. The remainder is due upon completion. This is pretty much standard operating procedure for custom jewelers. You will have to approve the design before we cast it, so you will get the custom pendant that you want. However, there are times when we will have to roughly create it to figure out the price. If that is the case, we would be able to show that to you before paying the deposit.
We warranty all of our custom jewelry against defects forever. But we would never send out a defective piece, so that offer is moot. However, if something is not as it should be, we will fix it. As far as stones falling out, we offer a 6 month warranty on stones under 3mm for normal wear and tear. If they are larger than that and fell out, they had help and would not be covered.
All diamonds sold in the US have to adhere to the Kimberley Process. This consortium of diamond producing countries "unites governments, industry, and civil society to eradicate the global trade of conflict diamonds. By enforcing rigorous certification protocols and compliance assessments, the KP ensures that all participating countries maintain high standards that keep conflict diamonds out of the international market."
Changes to custom rings can be made up until the casting process has begun. After that, there would be a charge to make the change, regrow the wax, and recast the piece.
At first, we need a drawing, pic, or concrete idea/description. We will not try to guess what it is that you want. Once we have agreed upon a price, we require half down to begin work on your custom ring. We use PayPal invoicing, which requires a credit or debit card and not a PayPal account.
