The Engagement Ring Elements You Can Customize in Our Creative Studio
If you’re new to the world of rings, you may be wondering what the different design options in our Creative Studio mean.
Diamond Shape
The overall physical form of a diamond when viewed from a top-down perspective is the diamond shape. Popular shapes include round, oval, pear, and princess.
Diamond Carat
Carat is one of the 4Cs of diamonds, measuring a diamond’s weight. Typically, a higher diamond carat weight will mean that the diamond looks bigger than a smaller carat weight for diamonds of the same shape.
Head
The head of an engagement ring is where the main diamond or gemstone sits. It is considered the focal point of the ring. The engagement ring head is where the center stone is held in place using a setting. For our custom engagement rings, you can choose from multiple prong settings, halo settings, surprise diamond settings, and even vintage-inspired designs.
Shank
This is the part of the ring that wraps around the wearer’s finger. It’s also known as the ring band. You can choose different designs including various pavé styles, knife edge bands, twisted interlocking rope shanks, and more.
Metal
Our custom engagement rings are crafted with precious metals including platinum, white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold. You can choose up to two different metals in our Creative Studio: one for the ring head and one for the ring shank.
For a unique look, choose two different metals. For a classic ring, opt for the same metal in both the shank and head.
