Types of Square Diamond Rings

The general square shape of rings has been reworked into many different styles. The most popular square styles are the Princess, Asscher, Radiant and Emerald.

one of the cheaper alternatives to more expensive square diamond rings. This shape also makes for a big show and is suited for those looking for some spotlight.

The Emerald cut resembles an emerald's shape while being a bold and prominent showcase of a large diamond. The Emerald cut is perfect for a lavish show of love for your partner as an engagement or wedding ring. 

The Asscher cut is a vintage style choice. It is another shape that is great for showing off but comes at a higher price than most because it needs a large diamond. Many jewellers also charge more for crafting Asscher cuts as they need more attention and care setting than other cuts.

Last but not least, the Radiant cut is the showstopping piece to attract awe wherever you need it. This style incorporates a variety of styles as it has smaller diamonds drawing attention to a centre square diamond. This style allows for more customization as there are more options in placing and design that one can do with it. Radiant diamond rings can be both more expensive and cheaper than other cuts. The difference in pricing comes with customization. You can choose to have smaller diamonds with a smaller and cheaper central diamond or the reverse with a large diamond and fewer small diamonds.

The Process of Customizing Malleable Rings

Custom rings require more work than picking one from a catalogue. The process is not as long as it seems. 

Consultation

The first step is to have an hour-long consultation with a specialty jeweller where you can discuss everything about your ring. This will start with general sizing, then move into talks about designs. This is where you can speak about having the ring shaped to match a family heirloom, match the aesthetic you want, and then the pricing you can afford. 

You can bring your ideas about the piece with photos, sketches, and other thoughts you want to speak about regarding your piece. If you wish to have other pieces created to match the ring, you can also mention them here. The jewellers can also work with pieces you already have, such as heirlooms you might want to recycle.

Choosing the Metal and Stones

The second step is about finding the metals and stones that will work with your ideas. Other shapes and placement of gems will also be discussed here. If you’d like to reuse gems, this is the last place to have them ready so that they can be added to the design process.

Using stones from pieces you don’t wear or use to create sustainable pieces is encouraged. This is not necessary if you don’t want to part with your jewelry. Completing this step should leave you and the jeweller with sound ideas you’re happy with.

Digital Design

Following the consultation, the design process will continue with you being sent digital copies of the ring before the crafting begins. This will be done with 3D software to ensure any reused stones' exact measurements and fitting. A copy of the ring will be sent for you to comment on and feedback on whether you like the piece.

Crafting

Now the design process is done, you are happy with your design. The crafting will begin. The stone will be set and finished by polishing your ring. The piece will be crafted in conjunction with diamond graders, jewelry designers, and goldsmiths.

Delivery

The process is nearly done. The final step is deciding whether you’d like to pick up the ring yourself or have it delivered to you specially. The staff at Malleable will also provide you with the necessary information on the pieces’ certifications, appraisal, and insurance.
