Choose the weave for your marquise, four band, puzzle ring. Whether you select a diamond or a colored gemstone, you may select from a tight, standard, or open weave for your puzzle ring. The weave and the size of your stone will determine how wide the puzzle ring will be at center front. Since each puzzle ring is woven for the very stone it will bear, the ring will always be correctly proportioned for your stone.
The weave you choose is also relevant to the kind of wedding band you wish to wear with it. We show a few examples on this page, so that you can get a sense of what kind of wedding band you may ultimately wish to order, even if you are not ready to take that step. Many people start with the puzzle ring and order the wedding band a little further down the road when the wedding is in sight.
We prefer to deliver a puzzle ring before we deliver the wedding ring. This way you can propose, make sure she loves the ring, and also make sure it fits. If it doesn’t fit, then we’ll resize it. Then whenever you are ready, we’ll make and ship the wedding band in the matching size. If the wedding ring will be a shadow band, then we do need to pick up the puzzle ring and keep it while we make the shadow band. So whenever she can part with the puzzle ring, we’ll pick it up via FedEx, and then we custom fit the shadow band to the puzzle ring. This makes for a totally unique bridal set that is unavailable anywhere else!
A tightly woven, marquise diamond, four band puzzle engagement ring. A tightly woven ring is often worn with an eternity band, which, contrary to popular belief, does not mean a ring with diamonds all around it. It means a wedding band that has a uniform width all the way around – like most wedding bands. Right now we don’t show a tight weave on our site, but you can request it, if you wish!
