Design Dazzling Custom Gemstone Rings

WHAT ARE NATURAL GEMSTONES?

A natural gemstone/gem is a cut, polished, or carved mineral used in jewelry or any other kind of decoration. A mineral is a natural compound with a distinct chemical composition. Minerals usually form in crystals by geological processes. Jewelers set natural gemstones in rings made of a precious metal. Examples of gems include ruby, sapphire, emerald, and diamond. Examples of precious metals include gold, silver, and platinum.

THE DESIGN PROCESS

We want to make designing custom gemstone rings as easy and accessible as possible, so we’ve already done the hard work of sourcing, cutting, and polishing the world’s top natural gemstones and providing ready-made design ideas on our website. Your job is to select the stone, metal, shape, and style that appeal to your personal taste and fit within your budget.

BEGIN WITH A FIGURE IN MIND

We recommend that you begin with your budget for your custom piece so that you will have realistic expectations about the kind of gemstones and metals that you will be able to select. Rare gemstones like rubies tend to be on the more expensive side, while garnet, citrine, and peridot offer more economical alternatives.

CHOOSE A PRECIOUS METAL TO MATCH YOUR STONE

Once you have decided on the stones for your custom gemstone ring, it’s time to select precious metals to match. The choice of metal will largely be influenced by the kind of gemstone you choose. More expensive stones are best paired with stronger metals like platinum to make sure that the stone doesn’t become loose and fall out.
