How to Find a Ring With Diamonds on the Inside of the Band
While most couples who are planning to tie the knot expect to see diamonds on the outside edge of the engagement or wedding rings, some people prefer an understated, hidden elegance. One option is to purchase a wedding band or engagement ring with the diamonds set along the inside of the band. This non-traditional design is harder to find, but with enough time and an adequate budget, you too can find the ring of your dreams. Does this Spark an idea?

Begin your search by using a shopping tool like MySimon or Google Shopping that scan thousands of online retailers and provide you with price comparison services. This will help you search a wide number of sites at once.

Schedule a meeting with a jewelry designer. A jewelry designer will be able to customize a ring to your specifications, including size of the band, type of metal used to create the band, cut and clarity of the diamonds and size and number of diamonds to be set inside the band. The designer also can engrave the ring. However, this option can be prohibitively expensive, especially if you hire top designers, such as Harry Winston, Tiffany or Scott Kay.
