29 July, 2025| 5 Minutes Read

Choosing a diamond engagement ring is not just a matter of taste but also of meaning. Whether it is an engagement ring, a special gift, or a personal symbol, every detail counts. Bon Gioielli makes this unique moment even more special with an intuitive configurator that guides you step by step in creating your custom-made diamond ring.

How do we create your Custom Diamond Engagement Ring?

Step 1 The Setting: Where it all begins

The first step is selecting the base of the ring, the setting. Bon Gioielli offers three refined 18 kt gold options (Carats (Ct) vs Karats (Kt): The Most Misunderstood Jewelry Terms

  • White Gold: In most cases, white gold is 18 karats, meaning it contains 75% pure gold. The remaining 25% consists of other metals, selected to increase strength and modify the natural hue of the gold.

  • Yellow Gold: Known since ancient Egypt, yellow gold has always been associated with brilliance. Warm, classic, and timeless, it gives the hand a radiant glow. In jewelry, 18 kt yellow gold is used, made with a 75% gold alloy and the remaining 25% composed of varying percentages of silver and copper.
Round-cut diamond engagement ring in 18 kt rose gold
  • Rose Gold: Romantic and contemporary, increasingly popular with those seeking something unique. It is made from a gold, copper, and often silver alloy, in varying proportions depending on the value of the jewelry. 18 kt rose gold typically consists of 75% gold, 20% copper, and 5% silver.

All settings are handcrafted in Italy and finished to the finest detail to best enhance the chosen stone.

Step 2 The Diamond: Natural or Lab Grown?

The second key choice concerns the true star of the ring: the diamond. You can choose between:

  • Natural Diamond: Formed deep within the Earth over millions of years, it represents the classic and timeless choice.
  • Lab grown Diamond: Identical to natural diamonds in chemical composition and brilliance, but created in a laboratory using advanced technology and with a lower environmental impact.

Both options are available in a wide range of carat weights, from 0.30 to 3.00 ct and can be selected in one of ten different diamond cuts: Round, Oval, Cushion, Emerald, Pear, Radiant, Princess, Marquise, Asscher and Heart.

We also offer customization options for each diamond, allowing you to select from a variety of clarity grades from SI1 to IF and a color scale that ranges from J to the purest D.

Each diamond is accompanied by an official GIA or IGI certificate, ensuring its authenticity and exceptional quality.
We are committed to offering only diamonds with the highest level of cut excellence: Triple Excellent (3EX) rated Excellent in Cut, Polish, and Symmetry. This guarantees outstanding brilliance, without compromise.
