How to Custom Design an Engagement Ring
Looking to custom design an engagement ring is Sydney or Brisbane? You have come to the right place! At Affinity Diamonds we specialise in bringing our clients' vision to life with our bespoke jewellery services. We strive to ensure that each engagement ring we produce is unique in its own special way. Celebrate your love, in style, by following our custom engagement ring process:
Education: The first and most important step in designing a custom engagement ring is education. Understanding all there is to know about diamonds and engagement rings from the very start of the process will help guide you in making informed decisions. This includes more than just the 4 C’s (Colour, Clarity, Cut, and Carat)—it also means learning about craftsmanship, diamond composition, and factors like fluorescence. Knowing this will help you choose the right jeweller and diamond based on your preferences. For example, is it important to you that your engagement ring is handmade in Australia? Check out our Australian-made certification.
Metal: Choosing the right metal and colour can dramatically impact the look of your engagement ring. If you're aiming for a vintage or antique style engagement ring, consider using Rose Gold or Yellow Gold. These metals can also enhance the beauty of your diamond by making it pop! It's also important to understand the difference between Platinum and White Gold when designing a custom ring to ensure it suits your needs.

Diamond Shape: The next step is selecting your diamond shape. Choose a shape that you truly love, as it will help to make the design process flow naturally. Pick a shape that reflects your personal style and preferences. Browse engagement rings by diamond shape to find the perfect match.
Setting: Different setting styles can play an important part in the overall design of your engagement ring. For example, a U-Prong setting allows more of the diamond's side profile to be visible. Styles like milgrain and pave settings can give the band a vintage or antique feel. On the other hand, more modern settings, such as a compass setting or half bezel, can create a bold, edgy look for your engagement ring.
Style: Determining your style or your partner’s style is key to designing a ring that will be cherished for years. Researching online and taking note of current trends in metal colours and diamond shapes can help guide your decision, whether you prefer following a trend or sticking with timeless designs.
