Read on to learn how designing your own rings works.

When to Design Your Own

You might decide to design your own engagement ring for a number of reasons, including:

• You want the custom touch. When you design your own ring, you can select a combination of features that makes your ring a one-of-a-kind piece. Building your own ring will give you the pride of knowing that no one else has a ring quite like yours.
• You can’t find what you want. If you’ve looked high and low for the perfect ring to no avail, you might try designing your own. Sometimes, even the best jewelers won’t have exactly what you’re looking for in stock. Especially if you prefer unusual settings or stones, building your own ring is much more likely to give you the ring you want.
• You want to estimate the costs. Perhaps you know what you want, but you’re unsure if it will fit into your budget. When you design engagement rings online, you will have the opportunity to price out the combination of ring features you want. Alternatively, you can also set a price range when designing your own ring to make sure that your ring accommodates your budget.

How to Design Your Own Ring

Jeweler.com is the best source for information on how to design your own ring. Every jeweler will have a slightly different design process, but here are the basic steps involved in creating a custom diamond ring:

1. Choose your carat weight. The first step in designing your own ring is choosing the carat weight of your diamond. Depending on your jeweler, you can do this in two ways. First, you may have to enter a carat weight range for your ring. For example, you might select a carat weight range of three-fourths of a carat to one carat. Alternatively, you can have your carat weight range selected for you by entering your minimum and maximum allowable price. For instance, you might want a diamond that is $5,000-$7,000.
2. Select your diamond’s shape. You can choose from a number of shapes for your diamond, including round, princess, emerald, asscher, radiant, pear, heart, cushion, marquise, and oval. If you’re unsure of what shape you’d like, you can always select a shape to see how it looks and change it later.
3. Choose your metal. Next, you will need to choose the metal for your ring’s band. The most popular metals are white gold, yellow gold, and platinum. If you select gold for your metal, you will also need to choose between 14K and 18K.
4. Select your style & setting. The style and setting of your ring will determine how your diamond is presented. Common styles include solitaire, three stone, diamond accented, and gemstone accented. Once you choose the style of your ring, you will also need to select a setting, such as a six-prong or contour setting.
5. Review your ring. In the final step, you can review the ring you’ve designed to see how it looks in its entirety. You can also view the price of the ring in this step. If you’re happy with the look and cost of your ring, you can proceed with the order. If not, you can revisit the design process to make whatever changes you wish.
