Then, pick the setting style (e.g. solitaire or trilogy), and choose the metal and type of diamond you would like, considering cut, clarity, carat, and colour.
Make sure to get an accurate measurement of the wearer's ring size to avoid the hassle of resizing down the line, and look into obtaining ring insurance. If you would like a bespoke ring, book a consultation with a jeweller to discuss design ideas and receive a quote.
