CAM Jewelry Design
Designing
with a CAD (computer-aided design) system opens a world of possibilities for our
jewelry designers. Modeling, prototyping and completed original jewelry designs
are more accurate then ever before. Designs can have very intricate details,
initials or logos along with diamonds and gemstones. Production time is also
shorter, once you approve the design we will complete your original design in as
little as seven to ten working days.
 Traditionally
couples design a custom ring as an anniversary present to celebrate their long
lasting union. One of the newer trends in engagement rings for mature couples is
to commemorate their love with an original design. Exchanging ideas and
collaborating on a design seems to build significantly more value then buying a
ring off the case. Having your own custom designed ring is not as expensive as
you might think.
Redesigning a diamond ring is a great way to preserve a
special ring or sentimental diamond. People redesign diamond
or gemstone rings
for a variety of reasons from preserving the sentimental value of their
ring to desiring an original design and look. Some of the reasons for
redesigning a diamond ring include:
- Repairs: Repair are a common reason for
redesigning a diamond ring. Over the years, the setting and band may wear
out. A worn setting may cause a diamond to loosen or fall out. Sometimes a
prong on a setting may break. Redesigning the diamond ring will preserve the
history and sentimental value.
- Merging two rings:
Some people like to merge a family heirloom, such as a mother's engagement
ring, with another diamond ring to create an original piece of jewelry.
- Update a design: A number of people want to
update the look of their engagement ring or preserve their original diamond
in a new ring design.
Different types of Settings
for your New Design
A setting is another term for the mounting
that attaches the diamond to the ring band. You have a number of options for
redesigning a diamond ring. Any type of setting will work for your new design.
Settings styles for diamond
rings include:
 Prong
setting: Classic prong settings is still
one of the most popular mountings for engagement rings. Individual metal
claws or prongs extend from the ring base and hold the diamond in
place. This setting is often requested in a ring remounting or repair
because prongs may loosen. ware or break over time.
- Invisible setting:
The popular modern invisible settings shows off diamonds without visible
prongs or bars. A metal cup, attached to the band, holds the diamond in
place without any metal obscuring the face of the diamond.
- Bezel setting: A
bezel setting is a metal band that wraps around a diamond to hold it in
place. Bezel mountings can make a diamond look larger.
- Channel setting:
Most anniversary rings that feature multiple gemstones such as eternity
rings involve channel settings. Diamonds are inserted in a channel in the
ring band that holds the gemstones in place.
- Flush setting:
In a flush setting, the diamond rests in a hole that blends in with the rest
of the band. This mounting resembles a bezel setting but without any metal
wrapping around the face of the diamond.
- Cluster setting:
Cluster settings allow multiple diamonds or gemstones to be set in a
specific design
pattern such a heart, grapes etc.
