To create a ring that embodies both your personal taste and your fiance’s preferences, it is crucial to begin by consulting with one of our expert designers during your free design consultation. They will guide you through various aspects of designing the perfect ring, such as metal type, stone shape, carat weight, cut, and setting styles, while considering your budget constraints as well. By discussing your vision openly with our team, we can work together to bring your ideas to life and produce a truly unique ring that reflects your love story.

At Ring2Be, you have access to a wide array of precious metals for your custom wedding engagement ring. These include pure yellow gold (24K), white gold alloys, rose gold alloys (also known as red gold), platinum, palladium, and even sterling silver. Each metal offers different characteristics in terms of durability, luster, and color, allowing you to select the material that best complements the intended design and your personal tastes.

Yes, we offer a diverse range of diamond shapes or cuts at Ring2Be. Some of the most popular options include round brilliant cut, princess cut, cushion cut, emerald cut, asscher cut, marquise cut, pear cut, and oval cut. Each cut has its own unique characteristics in terms of fire, brilliance, and overall appearance. For instance, the round brilliant cut excels in reflecting light from multiple facets, creating exceptional sparkle and brightness, while the emerald cut showcases a sleek, elegant profile with a large table and elongated shape, allowing the viewer to easily appreciate the clarity of the diamond. Your free design consultation with our expert designers will assist you in selecting the ideal cut for your custom engagement ring.

Absolutely, carat weight is an important factor when designing your custom wedding engagement ring. Carat weight measures the mass of a diamond, with each carat divided into 100 ‘points.’ Typically ranging from 0.50 carats upward, the size of the center diamond in your ring will significantly impact its visual appeal and perceived value. A larger stone may make the ring more prominent and eye-catching, whereas smaller diamonds allow for intricate designs in the ring’s setting or enable the use of side stones that can add further embellishment. During your design consultation, you will discuss your desired carat weight with our experts to determine the optimal size for your ring.

In addition to traditional diamonds, we offer a variety of alternative center gemstones at Ring2Be for those seeking something unique. Popular choices include sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and many others. Each gemstone brings its own distinct hue and character to an engagement ring, allowing you to create a truly personalized piece of jewelry that reflects your individuality as a couple. Consult with our expert jewelers during your design process to explore these alternatives and discover which one resonates best with your personal style.

Indeed, we provide a broad range of setting styles for your custom engagement ring at Ring2Be. The five main categories of settings include prong, bezel, channel, pave, and halo. Prong settings expose the maximum amount of the diamond, accentuating its beauty; bezel settings encircle the diamond with metal for added protection and security; channel settings hold stones closely side-by-side in a row; pave settings cover the band entirely with small gemstones, giving a dazzling effect; and halo settings surround the center diamond with smaller stones, enhancing its overall size and prominence. Discuss your desired style with our designers during your free consultation to find the setting that best fits your preferred aesthetic.

At Ring2Be, we are committed to providing only ethically sourced, high-quality diamonds for our custom engagement rings. We require GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certification for all our center diamonds over 0.30 carats, ensuring that they meet strict international standards in terms of color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. Furthermore, our expert jewelers closely scrutinize every diamond prior to its installation in your ring, verifying its properties and authenticity before presenting you with the final product. This rigorous evaluation ensures that you receive a beautiful and genuine engagement ring that you can cherish throughout your lifetime together.
