Design Your Own Engagement Ring

It depends on the choices you make, like the type of metal, the diamond size and quality, and the complexity of the design. Designing your own engagement ring gives you more control over the budget, allowing you to prioritise what matters most to you. For example, you might opt for a slightly smaller lab-grown diamond with an exceptional cut, or choose an exquisite setting that lets the stone shine. With DX Diamonds, you can design a ring that feels luxurious without the high markup of traditional retail.

The 4Cs, Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat, are the key characteristics that determine a diamond's quality and price. Understanding how they work together helps you choose the best engagement rings for your budget and style.

Start by picking a setting that fits your style. From there, choose your metal, diamond shape, and carat weight. You can use our custom ring builder to experiment or visit our showroom for expert guidance on your custom ring design. If you’re not sure where to start, check our engagement ring guide or visit our showroom to get hands-on advice from our expert team of jewellery experts.

Diamond quality is assessed by looking at the 4Cs. Lab reports from trusted graders like IGI or GIA provide a reliable breakdown. At DX Diamonds, all our diamonds are carefully selected for brilliance, quality, and ethical sourcing.

Round brilliant diamond engagement rings remain the classic favourite for their timeless sparkle. But oval cut and emerald cut engagement rings are growing fast in popularity for their elegant, modern appeal. Still, the best shape there is the one that makes your heart skip a beat.
