Designing Your Silver Ring Set
This is a guide on how to begin the process of designing your own ring set. Always remember that I am here to answer all your questions. All sterling silver gemstone rings begin at a base price dependent on the gemstone size. You can choose to upgrade the quality of gem which will affect the cost. Many of my designs are family rings with birthstones or we can design a ring set around colours you love!
Here are the steps that can help with the design process.
1. Choose Your Sterling Silver Ring Bands and the Shiny or Oxidized Band Finish: Mix and Match Bands

3. Choose the gemstone size and shapes you love. I offer round, oval, square and emerald cut gemstones. You can choose to have all the same size gems in your set or you can mix gemstone shapes and sizes. Once I know which gem sizes and bands you love, I can help you determine which bands work best with the gem sizes you love.
