A diamond band engagement ring is defined by how its diamonds are arranged and how the band itself is crafted, giving you endless ways to personalise its look and feel. At Regal, each engagement ring design begins with the band: you may choose a refined pavé style for delicate sparkle, a channel-set band for clean lines and security, or a full-eternity design for brilliance that circles the finger without end.
For those seeking subtlety, a half-eternity or shoulder-set band offers the perfect balance of radiance and everyday wearability. The setting plays an equally important role in shaping the ring’s character. Diamonds can be prong-set to maximise light and brilliance, bezel-set for a modern, protective finish, or micro-pavé for a fine shimmer across the band. Paired with your choice of precious metal (platinum for durability, white gold for a bright, contemporary feel, yellow gold for timeless warmth, or rose gold for romantic softness), your band becomes an expression of both style and sentiment.
Whether you select natural diamonds or sustainable lab-grown alternatives, Regal ensures every diamond is chosen with care for its beauty and precision. The result is a diamond band ring that feels uniquely yours, crafted to reflect your love story in every detail.
A bespoke diamond band engagement ring combines timeless elegance with the freedom to create something truly individual. Beyond simply selecting a diamond, you can personalise every element of your ring, from the claw style and band profile to the placement of diamond accents that enhance brilliance and sparkle.
Our Hatton Garden jewellers will guide you through each stage of the process, helping you explore options in metal type, setting style, and diamond cut to design a piece that reflects your taste and story. You may choose a refined, understated design or opt for a more striking band with intricate detailing, but in every case, the bespoke process ensures your engagement ring is a symbol of individuality, love, and enduring craftsmanship. Every choice you make ensures a ring that feels distinctive and deeply personal.

What is a diamond band engagement ring?
A diamond band engagement ring features a band that is adorned with diamonds either partially or entirely around the circumference of the ring, also known as diamond shoulders. This design brings extra sparkle and elegance to the ring, making it an extremely popular choice for engagement rings.
How do I choose the right diamond band engagement ring?
When selecting a diamond band engagement ring, consider factors such as the style and design of the band, the quality and size of the diamonds, and how well it complements the centre diamond or gemstone. You should also ensure the ring fits comfortably and aligns with your personal taste, lifestyle, and the kind of beauty you prefer in fine jewellery.

What diamond shoulder setting styles can I choose for my ring?
You have several options for how the diamonds are set along your ring’s shoulders:
Pavé: Small diamonds (melee stones) are positioned closely together and held in place by tiny beads of metal, with slim strips of metal running along each side.
Scallop: Similar to pavé diamond band ring, but with tiny claws holding each diamond and a distinctive open, scalloped edge that exposes more of the stones.
Channel: Diamonds are set between two strips of metal, creating a smooth and protected surface.
Flush (Rubover): Each diamond is individually set into the band so that the metal surrounds its edge, giving a sleek and modern look.
Pavé and scallop settings are the most popular for engagement rings featuring diamond bands. Channel-set diamond rings and flush-set engagement bands are less common but work well for those seeking something more distinctive.
Can I resize a diamond band engagement ring?
In most cases, diamond band engagement rings can be resized to ensure a comfortable fit. However, if the ring is set with diamonds all around the band, resizing may not be possible due to the intricate setting. In such instances, resizing becomes impractical without compromising the integrity of the ring.
What diamond shapes are available for custom diamond bands?
A custom engagement ring with a diamond band can feature a variety of shapes beyond the classic round brilliant options. Others include oval cut, emerald cuts, baguettes, princess cuts, and even pears. If you have a particular shape in mind, book an appointment to discuss your design with our expert Hatton Garden jewellers. They can guide you through the possibilities and help you create a custom design that fits your vision.
Are diamond band engagement rings suitable for everyday wear?
Diamond band engagement rings are designed to be durable and withstand daily wear. However, factors such as the setting style, diamond quality, and metal type can affect its durability. It's essential to choose an engagement ring band with diamonds that matches your lifestyle and activity level to ensure its longevity.
