A Love Story Cast in Gold: The Making of a Custom Lab Diamond Engagement Ring
Every engagement ring we design at Vai Ra tells a story — one that begins with a vision, takes shape through design, and finally becomes a lasting heirloom.
Recently, we had the joy of creating a custom engagement ring for a client who wanted something deeply personal — a solitaire ring with a strong, tapered band and elegant tulip prongs.

The Concept: Strength Meets Sentiment
Our client wanted to blend symbolism with style. She envisioned:
- A thick, Solitaire band.
- A tulip prong setting that gracefully cradles the center stone.
- A tapered silhouette, flowing from a broader shank to a refined center.
- An engraved design with initials, marking it as uniquely hers.
She also had one clear preference — no cathedral setting. Most jewelers rely on cathedral arches to achieve a tapered effect, but at Vai Ra, we chose a different path.
The Design: Precision and Balance
To achieve the perfect taper without a cathedral, our design team engineered a smooth transition — connecting the broader base to the prong area with a single elegant line. The result? A balanced, durable design that remains substantial yet beautifully fluid.
Ring Specifications:
- 1 Carat IGS-certified Lab Diamond — ethically grown, cut for maximum brilliance.
- 14KT Rose Gold — chosen for its warmth and romantic glow.
- Custom Engraving — delicate yet detailed, executed with precision craftsmanship.
The Making: Custom Craftsmanship at Its Finest
Every custom Vai Ra ring begins with a conversation — understanding your story, preferences, and style. Our team then translates that into a detailed CAD design, shares 3D previews, and refines every millimeter before crafting the final piece.
This particular lab diamond engagement ring stood out for its technical challenge and emotional depth. The final piece is both strong and graceful, a reflection of its muse.
