Collection: Diamond Set Bands

Diamond set bands are a great way to add a bold statement to what might otherwise be a more subtle expression of partnership and love. They will catch the eye of all who see them and draw attention to the relationship they represent more so than a less conspicuous wedding band. But these bands can also be used as anniversary pieces which mark points along the journey of you and your partner. Depending on the design chosen, it is possible to wear diamond set bands with a standard wedding band. They can even be worn as eternity rings. Diamond set bands are perfect for a couple with a big personality and a passion they want to show off to the world. They are stylish and eye-catching so if it is a statement you want to make then diamond set bands are the way to go.

The most significant impact on any ring comes from the lifestyle of its wearer. It is true that diamond set bands have delicate prongs holding their lab grown diamonds. These can be more susceptible to bending and breaking than a wedding band that does not have any stone settings. However, the most significant thing to consider is how well you care for and maintain your diamond set band, as with any other kind of ring. Here are some pointers towards how to properly look after you diamond set band:

1. Always remove your ring when engaging in activities that may damage it including heavy lifting, gardening, or going to the gym/sports, for example.

2. Avoid wearing your diamond set band while doing household chores involving chemicals or abrasive substances which can do harm to the metal.

3. Regularly use mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush to clean dirt from your ring which may otherwise make it appear dull and/or tarnished.

4. Make sure to safely store your diamond set band in a secure and safe place such as a jewellery pouch or box when it is not being worn so as to protect it from unnecessary wear and tear. 

5. Have the ring annually inspected and maintained to ensure the lab grown diamonds are secure and in good condition. Ethica offers a not for profit ring maintenance service helping you keep your delicate lab diamond ring in perfect condition.  

A fully set diamond band has lab grown diamonds set around its entire circumference and so has a lack of plain metal to alter. This means a fully set diamond band cannot be resized.  However, half set or three quarter set diamond bands can be resized. 

When a band is half set or three quarter set, it means the lab diamonds are only set across half or three quarters of the band as opposed to a full set across the whole ring. Half and three quarter set diamond bands are lighter and more affordable since they hold fewer stones and are also more comfortable to wear. The presence of plain metal in these sorts of settings is what allows the ring to be resized if necessary. 

At Ethica Diamonds we offer a free resizing service for rings valued at over two-thousand-pounds and are able to resize up to three ring sizes smaller or larger than the original ring size.

Yes! It is possible to customise all of Ethica’s stone set rings. We offer a range of customisations including smaller or larger total carat weight, lab diamond colour, band width, and gem type.

We can also create bespoke jewellery that is unique to you whether that includes designing your own jewellery piece or putting your own spin on an existing design. If you wish to create a bespoke ring, all you have to do is schedule an appointment with our specialist custom design team. We can discuss with you your preferences and vision such as the desired centre stone, accents, stone colours, metal, and band style.  We will work together to create a 3D rendering or sketch of your ring concept and make any necessary adjustments or modifications until you are satisfied with the design.

When completed, your bespoke lab diamond engagement or wedding ring will be polished until it sparkles and be presented to you in a beautiful box.
