From Inspiration To Your Finished Ring

STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR RING DESIGN

The engagement ring setting plays a crucial role in determining how your gemstone is showcased. It's the essence of the ring and the foundation that holds your diamond, making it an essential aspect of the ring design. John Atencio offers many distinctive engagement ring options that can either accommodate a specific diamond size and shape online or be further customized for any diamond shape or size in store. (Just make an appointment with our expert jewelry consultants at a convenient John Atencio location.)

STEP 2: SELECT THE CARAT WEIGHT

Carat is the term used to measure a diamond's weight, and by extension, its size. With that said, although carat weight is often associated with the size of the diamond, it's important to remember that higher carat weight doesn't always translate to a larger-looking stone, because the cut, shape and setting also influence its appearance.

Step two is to select the perfect carat size for your engagement ring. It is a balance between your personal preferences, the size of your finger or your partner's finger, and your budget. As the carat size increases, the dimension of each John Atencio engagement ring also changes based on the size of the center stone.

STEP 3: DECIDE BETWEEN LAB OR NATURAL

When selecting a stone for your engagement ring, you have the choice between a certified natural diamond and a lab-grown gemstone. Lab-created diamonds are grown in a controlled laboratory environment. They carry the same physical, chemical and optical characteristics as natural diamonds but are typically more affordable. Ask our team about the options that best fit your priorities and budget.

STEP 4: SELECT THE RING SIZE

Now that you have your stone, setting and design, it’s time to choose a size.

Getting the right ring size is a crucial step toward creating a tailor-made, custom engagement ring. Too loose, and the ring might slip off; too tight, and it could be uncomfortable.

Finding the correct size is simple on the John Atencio website. Simply read about how to choose the correct ring size and then consult our helpful ring-sizing chart. Remember, it's not just about crafting a beautiful ring, it's about crafting a ring that fits beautifully too.

STEP 5: PLACE THE ORDER

Once you are satisfied with your diamond engagement ring creation, the next step is to place your order. Finalize your design by double-checking each element: the setting/ring design, the ring size, the carat, and your choice between a lab-created and natural stone. When everything aligns with your vision, add the customized ring to your cart and proceed to checkout. Remember, you may want to add the wedding band at the same time to ensure a perfect fit.
