Your engagement ring should feel like it was made for you — because at Diamond Story, it is. Our build-your-own collection lets you design a custom engagement ring in three simple steps: choose your diamond, select your setting, and pick your metal. Every ring is handcrafted by our Melbourne jewellers to your exact specifications. With 29 expertly crafted settings, an extensive range of ethically sourced diamonds and your choice of premium metals, the combinations are virtually limitless. Settings start from $1,399.20, so there's flexibility to create something stunning at every price point. No two love stories are the same, and no two diamond engagement rings need to be either. Every element is yours to decide — from the shape and size of the diamond to the style of the setting to the colour of the metal. Our Melbourne team is with you at every step, offering expert advice without the pressure. Our Solitaire Settings Our solitaire setting is the most popular starting point for custom builds. These settings place all the focus on your centre diamond, with clean lines and minimal metalwork that let the stone do the talking. Choose from classic six-claw and four-claw configurations for a traditional look, or opt for a knife-edge or tapered band for a sleeker, more contemporary profile. Each design maximises light entry to bring out the full brilliance of your diamond. Our corner bezel setting offers another refined option — four pavé-set corners frame the diamond with subtle sparkle while keeping the overall design clean and understated. It's a popular choice for buyers who want detail without excess. Pave, Grain & Channel Set Designs For buyers who want sparkle beyond the centre stone, our accent diamond settings add continuous shimmer along the band. Pavé-set designs feature rows of tiny diamonds set flush into the band for an all-over sparkle effect. Grain-set options use fine metal beads to hold each accent stone, creating a vintage-inspired texture. Channel-set bands nestle diamonds within a smooth metal track for a clean, snag-free finish that's ideal for everyday wear. Halo Settings Our halo settings surround the centre diamond with a frame of smaller stones, amplifying its sparkle and making it appear noticeably larger. The collection includes classic round halo designs, a petite halo solitaire for a more refined look, and our heart-shaped double halo with a split band — one of the most distinctive and romantic designs in our range. Halo settings are a smart choice for buyers who want maximum visual impact, as the surrounding diamonds make the centre stone appear up to half a carat larger than it actually is. Three-Stone Settings Three-stone engagement rings carry beautiful symbolism, with the trio of diamonds representing past, present, and future. Our collection includes classic three-stone settings in both prong and channel-set styles, as well as tapered three-stone designs where the band narrows elegantly toward the centre. These are bold, meaningful pieces that pair perfectly with a simple wedding band and make a particularly popular choice for anniversary upgrades. Twist & Split Band Settings For something with architectural character, our twist and split band settings offer a modern alternative to straight-band designs. Twist settings wrap the band in a graceful spiral that adds movement and visual interest. Split band designs divide the shank into two strands as it approaches the centre stone, creating a dramatic, open silhouette. Both styles are available in four-claw and diamond-accented variations. These settings are particularly striking with round and oval centre diamonds, where the curved lines of the band complement the shape of the stone beautifully. Two-Tone Signature Design Our DS two-tone signature setting pairs two different metals in a single ring — a bold, contemporary choice for buyers who want something that stands apart from traditional designs. The contrast between warm and cool tones creates a striking visual depth that works beautifully with a wide range of diamond shapes. It's one of our most distinctive pieces and a favourite among Melbourne buyers who appreciate individuality in their jewellery. Choose Your Diamond Every setting in our collection is designed to be paired with the diamond of your choice. We carry an extensive range of natural and lab-grown diamonds in all popular shapes — round, princess, oval, cushion, emerald, and more. Whether you prioritise size, sparkle, or clarity, our inventory gives you the freedom to find exactly the right stone. All our diamonds are ethically sourced and conflict-free. Our team includes a GIA Alumni member who can walk you through the 4Cs and help you select a diamond that balances beauty and value perfectly. Choose Your Metal Every setting is available in platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. Platinum offers unmatched durability and a permanent white finish that will never fade. White gold delivers a similar cool tone at a more accessible price. Yellow gold brings classic warmth that pairs beautifully with vintage-inspired settings. Rose gold adds a romantic blush that has become a favourite among Melbourne buyers. Not sure which metal suits your diamond? Call 03 9642 3649 or ask our team for personalised advice.
