At Lauren B, we are known for the small special details that we add to our finely crafted rings. One of the most important details we incorporate are details on the profile of your ring which can give your design a finished, polished look. The beauty of this is that it maintains the ring’s focus on the center diamond when viewed face-on, but adds some great sparkle and personal touch when viewed from the side. There are many ways to go about this and here are just a few
For pave solitaire styles, you can opt for diamonds along the basket of the ring. Most fancy diamond shapes other than round cuts will require a basket to secure the diamond in place in addition to the four prongs. Because the basket will be here anyway, you can always add diamonds to them. Some may prefer the plain, streamlined basket look (such as RS-101 from our website) while others like to add some detail here- see RS-109 shown to the right which includes diamonds on the basket area stopping at each prong as well as additional stones where the stems attach to the band. The other approach is to add a full wrap of diamonds going over the prongs which is a staple of many of our popular designs (see RS-63, RS-158 and RS-122 to name a few). This kind of wrap is reminiscent of a halo but going beneath the center-stone as opposed to encasing it.
- The same applies for class solitaire designs with no diamonds on the band. You can still achieve the most classic of looks without diamonds on the band by adding metal details or diamonds along the profile. This is a subtle nuance that gives it that extra bit of flash most people love. See RS-179, RS-169, and RS-192 for examples. A perfect look for someone who wants to keep their ring looking very classic and elegant from the top.
- We are very well known for our seamless halo designs, the most common of which is the single halo facing up such as the signature micro pave design of the RS-31. This style achieves a very delicate look but for extra diamond detailing you can add diamonds along the perimeter of the halo as well. We call this a "double edge halo" and should not be confused with the "double halo" where both rows of diamonds face up creating a much larger appearance. This "double-edge" style emphasizes the shape of the center diamond and keeps your center diamond as the focal point. Take a look at RS-61 (shown to the left) which is one of our most requested "double edge" halo designs. For good measure it also includes the additional detailing of pave stones running up the stems that attach the halo to the band. Notice how defined and beautiful the cushion cut looks in this setting!
- While many prefer a thinner band for its delicate appearance we also love the look of a slightly thicker band with multiple rows of diamonds. These bands not only feel heavier on the hand in a good way, but they also give an amazing amount of shine from every angle. These can work really well with halo settings and non-halo settings. See RS-155 and SOR-13465 for some popular three row micro pave designs on our websites
5. Another way to add some flair to your ring is including some hand engraving along the edge of the band. This type of etching creates a vintage look and there are many different varieties and methods to it.
There are many different ways to detail the profile of your ring from the gallery to the band. Consult with one of our diamond engagement ring specialists to help customize the perfect ring for you!
