The Making of a Custom-Made 14 Karat Elongated Cushion Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Ring
A custom engagement ring is a reflection of personal taste and love, and the journey to craft this stunning 14 Karat Elongated Cushion Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Ring begins with an idea and ends with a beautiful work of art. Here’s an outline of how this bespoke ring was created:
Customer's Vision and Design Inspiration
The process started with a customer who had a clear vision for their engagement ring after taking inspiration from a ring he had seen on social media — a modern design featuring a lab grown diamond at the center and round diamonds evenly spaced on a thin shank. After discussing their preferences for the diamond cut, band style, and overall aesthetic, they chose an 3.00ct lab-grown diamond at the center paired with a 14 Karat yellow gold band for a classic, yet warm touch.
Creating a 3D Model with CAD Technology
Once the design was conceptualized, the next step involved translating the customer’s vision into a detailed 3D model using computer-aided design (CAD) software. The CAD design allowed the customer to see a digital version of the ring from every angle, offering a realistic preview of how the diamonds would sit on the band, and the proportions of the elongated cushion-cut diamond.
Casting in 14 Karat Yellow Gold and Setting the Diamonds
After the 3D model was finalized, the ring was ready to be cast in 14 Karat yellow gold. A mold was created from the 3D design, and molten yellow gold was poured into the mold to form the band and setting. The choice of 14 Karat yellow gold offered a rich, warm hue while maintaining the strength needed for daily wear.
With the band and setting complete, attention shifted to the centerpiece of the ring—the lab-grown diamond. The elongated cushion-cut diamond was selected for its unique shape and brilliant sparkle. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical to natural diamonds but offer a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative. Once the diamond was chosen, it was expertly set into the 14 Karat yellow gold band by hand. The setting was designed to securely hold the stone while maximizing its visibility and brilliance.
Finishing Touches: Polishing and Inspection
The final stage of the process involved polishing the 14 Karat yellow gold band to a high shine, ensuring a smooth, flawless finish that highlighted the ring’s craftsmanship. Every detail was meticulously inspected—from the alignment of the diamond to the smoothness of the gold—ensuring the ring met the highest quality standards.
The result was a breathtaking, custom-made engagement ring, perfectly tailored to the customer’s vision. The elongated cushion-cut lab-grown diamond radiated against the backdrop of the polished yellow gold, creating a timeless yet modern symbol of their love.
