Custom Moissanite Engagement Rings: Design Your Own Look
Posted by YANIV SEGAL
To design your own moissanite engagement ring, send us a photo or sketch of the look you want, approve a 3D design preview, then choose Premium Moissanite in white, pink or black and your gold or platinum. We handcraft the finished ring to order in our Los Angeles workshop. Moissanite leaves more of the budget for the details that make a ring yours.
What is a custom moissanite engagement ring?
It is a ring designed around your idea, with a moissanite center stone. The idea can come from a screenshot, a family photo, a sketch or one of our existing designs.
Moissanite is a lab-grown gem made of silicon carbide. It rates 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, just under diamond at 10, so it suits an everyday engagement ring.
Its signature is fire: bright flashes of rainbow color, especially in sunlight. Some couples love that extra color; others prefer the calmer look of diamond.
How do you design your own moissanite ring with us?
You work directly with me, Yaniv Segal, and our design team. Here is the process, step by step.
- Send a photo or sketch, plus your ring size, budget and date if you know them.
- We rebuild the design in 3D and send a design preview for you to approve, with changes until it's right.
- Choose the stone, Premium Moissanite or another option, and the metal: 14K or 18K yellow, white or rose gold, or platinum.
- Optional: order a $199 Try It In Real Life 3D-printed replica to check the size on your finger.
- We handcraft the ring to order in Los Angeles.
Tell us your date when you send the photo, and we'll confirm the timeline before you order. Asking for a quote costs nothing.
Start your custom ringMoissanite vs lab diamond vs natural diamond
All three can go into the same custom setting. The table shows how they differ where it counts.
| Stone | Mohs hardness | Look | Price example from our pages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Moissanite | 9.25 | Strong fire and rainbow flashes | Isla No. 1 starts at $1,620 with moissanite |
| Lab-created diamond | 10 | Classic diamond brilliance | Usually between moissanite and natural diamond |
| Natural diamond | 10 | Classic diamond brilliance, mined origin | Isla No. 1 reaches $212,273 with a large natural diamond |
The Isla No. 1 range shows how much the stone drives price in one design. The setting stays the same; the center changes the total.
If you are weighing a lab diamond instead, read our custom lab diamond engagement ring guide.
Why choose moissanite for a custom design?
The biggest reason is headroom. Spending less on the center leaves room for the parts that make a design personal.
- A larger center: a 2 carat round measures 8 mm on our size chart.
- A halo or double halo for more presence.
- Micro pavé along the band.
- 18K gold or platinum instead of 14K.
- A colored center: pink or black moissanite.
- Free engraving inside the band.
Moissanite also comes in shapes beyond round. Pear, oval, emerald cut and others work well, and our custom engagement ring ideas can help you narrow it down.
Which moissanite colors can you choose?
Classic white moissanite is the most popular choice. It reads bright and clean in white gold or platinum and warm in yellow or rose gold.
Pink moissanite gives a soft blush center. Our Zoey, Sofia and Trinity designs show it in halo, three stone and geometric bezel settings.
Black moissanite gives a bold, dark center that usually costs less than a black diamond. On our Janet No. 5 pear halo, you can choose either.
| Color | Look | Pairs well with |
|---|---|---|
| White moissanite | Bright, high fire | Any metal; classic solitaire or halo |
| Pink moissanite | Soft blush tone | Rose gold, double halo, three stone |
| Black moissanite | Bold and dark | Yellow or rose gold; white diamond accents |
