So you’re looking for a custom engagement ring, or maybe you’re wondering if a custom ring is right for you. Perhaps you’re wondering where to begin and what the process will look like.

You deserve to indulge in your desires, especially when it comes to an engagement ring (read: something you’ll be wearing for the rest of your life). Creating a custom engagement ring allows you to add your own personal touch to a meaningful symbol and moment in your life, as well as get exactly what you want with zero sacrifices.

At Jean Dousset, we’re all about empowering women to indulge in their desires without compromise. We make the process simple, streamlined, and customizable to your budget. Keep scrolling to find out why custom engagement rings from Jean Dousset are an excellent option for any bride-to-be.

 


What To Look For In A Custom Engagement Ring Designer

Before designing a custom engagement ring, make your search easier by narrowing down your jeweler options. By considering the quality, design, and your budget early on in your shopping process, you’ll immediately rule out options that don’t align with your own vision and values—thus saving time and energy down the line.

Here are some things to look for while narrowing down your options:

Quality & Craftsmanship 

Here’s a gentle reminder that not all engagement ring designers are in the business of quality and craftsmanship, and not all diamonds are created equally. When shopping with Jean Dousset, there’s no need to worry—our lab diamond custom engagement rings exclusively feature the top one percent of lab diamonds. Plus, our legacy is deeply rooted in high jewelry-level quality and craftsmanship. Jean Dousset, our founder, is the great-great-grandson of Louis Cartier (yes, that Cartier), and designer-level quality is innate to every Jean Dousset design.

Aesthetic

Equally important is finding a designer who has experience executing engagement ring designs aligned with your personal style. Each jewelry brand has its own unique design ethos and signature aesthetic, so no matter how much you customize your design at the drawing board stage, these factors will ultimately dictate how your engagement ring will look—sometimes even more than your personal style preferences. Research what other rings a jeweler has custom-crafted prior to committing to their brand. Save examples you love to reference during the design process!

Budget

At Jean Dousset, we’re all about price transparency, so whether you’re shopping our engagement collection online using our custom design tool, or receiving a consultation for a fully customized ring, we’ll let you know the price of the piece you’re imagining. If considering a custom engagement ring design from our collection, our curated virtual diamond feed tells you the price of the diamond you’re eyeing.  


Personalizing Your Handcrafted Lab Diamond Engagement Ring

Ready to indulge in the Jean Dousset difference? Browse our collection of designer lab diamond engagement rings, all of which can be designed to your tastes and preferences.

First, choose your silhouette: solitaire, three-stone, or Jean Dousset’s exclusive Seamless Halo® setting. Then, select a cut or stone shape and your preferred precious metal—from platinum to 18K rose, yellow, and white gold, along with two-tone rose gold and platinum or two-tone yellow gold and platinum setting options.

Next, visit our curated diamond feed to view high-definition, 360-degree visuals of the finest GIA-certified lab diamonds on the market. Like we said: transparency is key, so not only do we provide you with the price of the diamond you’re eyeing, but we also include a copy of the GIA certificate of each diamond displayed in our feed.

After selecting your diamond, you’ll be asked to pick your Signature Stone®—a “hidden stone” placed underneath your ring, for you and your special someone’s eyes only. The best part about our exclusive Signature Stone® detail is that it can represent a variety of symbols, from one’s favorite color to their birth stone. Choose from red garnet, purple amethyst, aquamarine, white diamond, tsavorite garnet, alexandrite, ruby, peridot, blue sapphire, pink sapphire, citrine, and sky blue topaz.

Last, but not least, all of our engagement rings can be completed with a complimentary engraving up to 20 characters long—ideal for expressing an enduring message special to you.
