Similar to pave rings, with larger side stones and distinctive settings, bubble bands are a great choice for those looking for elegant engagement rings. These rings take their name from the bubble-like stones set along their bands. They are often used in wedding rings, but for engagement rings, they add extra detail that ensures more sparkle. They can also be a good option if you want a ring that features smaller diamonds rather than a single large diamond.
Wondering whether bubble band rings are a good fit for your custom ring design? We’ve rounded up a selection of rings to give you some inspiration.
Get Inspired by These Bubble Band Engagement Rings
From simple to bold, here are a few bubble band engagement rings to inspire your custom-designed ring.
Platinum Triple Layer

These rings are perfect for multi-layered styles, especially when stacked with your wedding ring. Layered rings feature a series of small diamonds set along the top of the band, with plain metal on the underside. In this ring, the centre layer features alternating small and larger diamonds to add to the bubble effect. Layered rings work well if you want to go for a mixed metal design or add coloured diamonds in one of the rows.
Yellow Gold Solitaire

The Star Crossed ring from the Cape Diamonds ring collection gives a sophisticated touch to the classic solitaire design. Small round diamonds are set along a yellow gold band, with an oval diamond in the centre. This ring has a subtle bubble effect, with spaced-out bubbles rather than an endless series of bubbles. Yellow gold gives it a timeless look, but it would work well in rose gold or platinum.
Rose Gold Halos

If you’re more into chunky, bold styles, this one is sure to make a statement. A series of round halo diamonds is positioned along the top of the bubble band, interspersed with a series of three diamonds that wrap around the larger stones. The effect is a ring that has plenty of visual detail and lots of sparkle.
Five-Stone Curve

This modern five-stone ring has a curve design, with a platinum band leading up to five round diamonds in bezel settings. The centre diamond is larger, with two slightly smaller diamonds on either side, and two even smaller diamonds on the top row. This one is perfect if you love symbolic rings, representing your journey together as a couple.
Gold Pear-Cut
