If you are planning to tie the knot soon and you wish to make some alterations to a diamond engagement ring that has been in your family for generations, this article was written with you in mind. A custom jeweller can work miracles and turn a single-stone diamond ring into something else completely. With that in mind, here are a few design ideas to inspire you.
- Eternity Ring Design – If you would like to have to pave diamonds around the entire band, a custom jeweller is more than capable of such a design. White or coloured diamonds can be inset into the gold or platinum band, or you could insert other gemstones. This is a gorgeous design, and the custom jeweller can source loose gemstones that can be cut to your specifications.
- Halo Setting – A large central stone would be well showcased by adding a halo setting and using small pave diamonds, you can boost the sparkle factor of the central diamond. Of course, you have a choice of clear or coloured stones to insert in the halo and they don’t have to be diamonds; sapphires and rubies make for a colourful addition. The custom jeweller uses state-of-the-art computer software to create 3D images that help the client picture the outcome; once the client approves the design, the jeweller can work his magic.
- Trinity Ring Design – If you have a solitaire diamond ring and you would like to add two smaller diamonds on either side of the main stone, like what you’ve seen in Brisbane custom engagement rings, making contact with a skilled jeweller is the best solution. The jeweller can create a new setting to enable the addition of two smaller diamonds on each side of the central stone. Coloured gemstones are also a great way to inject some colour into the design.
- Green Emerald Cluster – If green is your favourite colour, why not ask the custom jeweller to create a stunning emerald cluster around the central diamond? The custom jeweller can access loose uncut emeralds at trade prices, and with your choice of cut, you can create a stunning design from a single-diamond ring. The bespoke jeweller can show you many fine images of previous projects to give you some design inspiration.
- Sapphire & Ruby Heart-Shaped Cluster – Ideal for the hopeless romantic, the skilled jeweller can build a completely new design by removing the central diamond and adding a sapphire and ruby heart-shaped cluster, then seating the central diamond for a superb engagement ring. If you are unsure about the perfect design, let a custom jeweller take a look at the ring and he can show you a few designs.
- Four Stone Cluster – An unusual design, with two stones on either side of the central diamond and one above and below to create a square pattern. The four small gemstones don’t have to be diamonds; you can choose from the many gemstones that are available to create a truly stunning diamond engagement ring. This is a good way to inject some colour into the ring and with the help of a skilled bespoke jeweller, everything is possible.
When a custom jeweller takes a solitaire diamond engagement ring, he can remove the stone and the setting and using the same band, it is possible to create a new design, transforming the ring into something very special indeed. The above are just a few examples of how a single diamond engagement ring can be transformed by a skilled custom jeweller.
