How to Design Your Dream Engagement Ring From Your Pinterest Saves
By Ken & Dana Design Team
If you've been saving rings on Pinterest for a while, you probably already have a dream engagement ring in mind, even if you can't name every detail yet. You're in good company: "dream engagement rings" is the top engagement ring trend on Pinterest right now, and interest doubled in a single month (Pinterest trend data, September 2026).
Below, we walk through how to turn a board full of saves into a ring we can make for you: what to look for in your pins, how to choose between a preset, semi-custom or fully custom ring, and what happens once you reach out.

Step 1: Find What Your Saves Have in Common
Scroll back through your board and look for the details that keep coming back. Most dream rings come down to a handful of choices:
Center stone shape: oval, pear, marquise, emerald cut or something less expected.
Metal color: yellow, rose or white.
Band: fine and simple, split, twisted, engraved or set with diamonds.
Extra detail: a halo, a hidden halo, side stones, milgrain or hand engraving.
Stacking: whether you want room for a curved or crown band later.
If one shape or one metal shows up in most of your pins, that's your starting point. If your saves are all over the place, our engagement ring style quiz is a quick way to narrow them down. Ring style drives a lot of other choices, from the setting and metal to the gemstones that suit it.

Step 2: Start With the Center Stone
The center stone is the star of an engagement ring. It shapes the design choices that follow and usually takes up the largest share of the ring's cost, so it helps to know the shape, size and type you want before anything else. Our guide to preset vs. custom engagement rings explains why.
We work with natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds and colored gemstones. Our custom ring form lists round, oval, emerald, cushion, radiant, Asscher, pear, marquise and heart shapes, with room to ask for something else.

Step 3: Choose Your Metal
Our rings are made in recycled gold (14k or 18k) and recycled platinum. In our guide to 10k vs. 14k vs. 18k gold, we note that 18k usually adds $500 to $600 to an engagement ring compared with 14k, and that white gold looks the same in either karat once it's plated.

Step 4: Preset, Semi-Custom or Fully Custom?
You don't have to design from scratch to get a ring that feels like yours.
Preset. A preset is one of our existing designs. Many of them come in more than one center stone shape, so the ring you saved as an oval may already exist as a pear or marquise. Two examples (prices with a 1.00ct lab-grown center in 14k gold, as of November 2026):
Lola: An oval or marquise center with two small round diamonds in milgrain frames and a hand-engraved 1.90mm band. $4,050 for the oval and $3,825 for the marquise. Setting only: $2,850 in 14k gold.
Semi-custom. A semi-custom ring changes a few elements of an existing design, such as the shape, metal or band. Our preset vs. custom guide suggests it as a way to save on budget compared with designing a ring from scratch.
Fully custom. A fully custom ring is made from scratch around your ideas. It's the right route if you have a clear vision and can't find it in any existing collection.

Design details or product references, with space to attach reference images (jpg, png, pdf, gif, doc or mp4, up to 10MB)
That last field is where your Pinterest saves go. Screenshots of the pins you keep coming back to are an easy way to show us what you love.
What Happens Next
Every custom ring is a little different, but our custom ring process follows the same three steps:
Proposal. We reply with a proposal that includes pricing, specifications and a timeline. Payments are broken down into steps.
Working model. Once the proposal is agreed and the order is placed, we create a working model of your design and email you images, or you can see them at the studio. This is your chance to make changes.
Finished ring. After you approve the model, our team makes and finishes your ring. There's still room for small finishing adjustments at this stage.
Give yourself time, especially if you have a proposal date in mind, since a custom design may need a few rounds of revisions. For reference, the preset rings in this post take about 6 to 9 weeks to make.

Pins are a great starting point. Attach them to our custom ring design form or bring them to an appointment, and we'll work out together how to bring your ideas to life.
Do I need to know my ring size?
No. The form has a "Not sure" option, and our ring size guide can help.
How long does a custom ring take?
It depends on the design. Your proposal includes a timeline, and it's worth leaving extra time for revisions if you have a date in mind.
Is a custom ring more expensive than a preset?
Not necessarily. The center stone usually makes up most of the cost, and changing a few details of an existing design (semi-custom) is one way to stay on budget.
How do payments work for a custom ring?
Your proposal breaks the payments down into steps.
