CUSTOM DESIGN LOOKBOOK

Designing a custom ring at Rigby Leigh happens in two steps. First, we find the perfect stone for you, a Montana sapphire or an antique old mine cut diamond, whether you're drawn to a particular hue, size, cut or natural inclusion.

Then, we pair your stone with one of our nine signature designs. Each design is the starting point for a hand carved oak mold, shaped around your stone and cast in recycled gold. A style may repeat, but no two rings ever turn out the same.

Tap any design below to see its details and past rings made in that style.

Flowing Asymmetry

Style 01

Flowing Asymmetry

Gold that moves off center, following the stone rather than framing it evenly. Each side of the setting takes its own shape, so the ring reads as drawn by hand.

Classic Prong

Style 02

Classic Prong

Our take on the traditional setting. Solid gold prongs, carved by hand in the wood, hold the stone up and open to the light. Two side stones complete the setting, framing the center stone.

Looking Glass

Style 03

Looking Glass

Made for portrait and rose cut stones that show their color like a window. A low profile keeps the stone close to the hand.

Design with this style
Emerald

Style 04

Emerald

Built around step cut stones, with clean lines that let the long facets and color run the full length of the stone.

Design with this style
Break In The Bezel

Style 05

Break In The Bezel

A natural gold bezel flows organically around the stone, with a break in the bezel that lets light move gently into it.

Design with this style
River Five Stone

Style 06

River Five Stone

Five stones set in a row, like pebbles along a riverbed, each one chosen to sit naturally beside the next.

Design with this style
Bouquet

Style 07

Bouquet

Stones gathered together like a small bouquet, set among gold with the feel of twig and branch.

Design with this style
Chalice

Style 08

Chalice

Gold rises around the base of the stone like a cup, holding it up and open to the light.

Design with this style
Lakeshore

Style 09

Lakeshore

A low, soft setting with an edge of gold that traces the outline of the stone like a shoreline. The stone is set in an east-west style, allowing the shape of the stone to flow within the ring.

David was an absolute joy to work with. My partner and I had my engagement and wedding ring made by David and he was so patient and genuinely invested in assisting us to fit our ideas together to build the perfect pieces. His clear communication was impeccable and we are just so happy with the rings... We didn't think we'd find something that so closely fits our personalities but we did, and for that we are so grateful! Thank you David!

This engagement ring from Rigby Leigh is wonderful. David was so helpful and kind throughout the process, including allowing us to visit the studio in Brooklyn and making adjustments to ensure the perfect fit. David communicated quickly and clearly throughout the process and delivered the rings earlier than expected! Learning about the process that was created to make each ring was fascinating, and each ring is truly beautiful and special. There’s nothing else like it, and the Montana sapphires are amazing in their depth and color. We are so excited and happy with the rings!
