The starting point
Diamond, setting or reference
You may already have a centre diamond, know the shape you prefer or simply have a reference image with one detail that feels right. We look at diamond shape and proportions, the character of the setting, the width and profile of the band, and how the whole composition balances across the finger.
If the ring will sit beside a wedding band, we consider that relationship now: whether the bands should meet neatly, allow a deliberate gap or require a shaped wedding ring.
