From Our Designer

A 3 Carat Diamond Engagement Ring is the pinnacle of fine jewelry. At 9mm, it's a piece that will be admired for generations.

Designing at this scale requires expertise. The setting must provide robust support while remaining elegant. I recommend cathedral settings with substantial prongs, or a bezel for maximum protection.

Our direct sourcing means you pay for the diamond, not the brand name. A 3 carat diamond from Custom Bridal Ring offers the same quality as luxury retailers at factory-direct prices.

Every diamond is certified, every setting is handcrafted, and every ring carries our commitment to excellence.

Designer's Spec: - Diamond: Premium quality - Face-up: ~9.0mm - Setting: Reinforced cathedral/bezel - Band: 2.5mm+ for balance - Certification: Full documentation
