Designing Your Own Solitaire Ring with the Ring Builder!

Like a gourmet meal and a bottle of wine, a diamond and its setting have to be the perfect match—coordinating, with just enough contrast for interest and beauty. That’s why most of the diamond settings sold at Whiteflash.com are sold without center stones, leaving it to the customer to choose the perfect stone using the Ring Builder. Designing your own engagement ring gives you the greatest possible range of customizability and the best possible shopping experience, while also giving you the satisfaction of having been personally invested in every aspect of the final product. Think of the Ring Builder as your drafting table, where you can select several loose diamond options and determine the best.


There are two ways to use the Ring Builder—either you choose a setting first, and then a stone to match, or you begin with the loose diamond and then select a setting. Either method will produce spectacular results, although if you have taken the time to educate yourself about the various aspects of diamond grading and categorization, you may enjoy the fine-tuned search capabilities of the loose diamond search feature. If an interesting setting is your first priority, you may want to find the solitaire or diamond setting of your dreams first, and then select the stone that matches that setting.

Begin on the Whiteflash.com home page, at the loose diamond search feature. Select your preferred diamond grades and criteria from the sliders—allow a little bit of leeway on the criteria that are not as important to you in order to get the maximum number of results. For example, to find more Whiteflash-certified ACA Hearts and Arrows diamonds in the shape and clarity you are looking for, try widening your size criteria to allow diamonds slightly bigger and smaller than you originally planned.

When you find the stone that truly fits all your criteria, click on the details page to actually view the diamond, and then click buy this diamond with a ring to add it to your Ring Builder. You can do this several times, until you narrow down your search to a few really strong contenders. This is a great way to compare stones of different shapes, or to establish a realistic budget.
After adding the diamond to your ring builder, you will be redirected to the ring settings search page, where you will begin by selecting the type of setting you are looking for—solitaire setting, diamond setting, or three-stone setting. After that, just scroll through and admire the settings until you find one that really speaks to you. Before adding it to your ring builder, ensure that it will work with the shape and carat weight of the diamond you have chosen. Some ring settings can only be set with a round diamond, or a diamond of a specific carat weight range.

When you find a setting you like, click on buy this setting with a diamond to add it to your Ring Builder. You can choose several settings as well, and compare them to each other until you determine which one is perfect. When you have narrowed down your search to one diamond and one setting, you are ready to purchase. Click proceed to checkout to begin one of the most special purchases of your life.

Begin on the Whiteflash.com homepage by selecting from between a solitaire setting, a diamond setting, or a three-stone setting. A solitaire setting usually consists of a simple metal band and a prong or bezel center setting. A diamond setting is more intricate, ranging from a small embellishment on the band to a complicated multi-stone pavé creation. A three-stone setting can be ornate or simple, but it features two side stones and a center stone of your choosing.
Once you choose a category, browse until you find the setting of your dreams, whether that is an ornate and old-fashioned filigree setting in yellow gold, or a platinum domed band with champagne diamonds. When you find the perfect setting, review the product page details in order to understand all specifications of melee, side stones and or shape/size of diamond your setting will support.

When you click buy this setting with a diamond, the setting will be added to your Ring Builder and you will be redirected to the loose diamond search feature. Using the sliders to control the various criteria of diamond grading, find a stone of the perfect size, shape, cut grade, clarity, and color grade. You can select a few and then compare their criteria in order to decide on the combination that best fits your personal preferences, your taste and your budget.

Keep in mind that a solitaire setting calls for a more show-stopping stone, while a more intricate diamond setting with more embellishment may work well with a more modest center stone. When you have decided on the one diamond that best suits your setting, you can proceed to checkout for a fast, painless conclusion to your diamond ring search. Pretty soon you will be holding the engagement ring of your dreams, built to order.
