From subtle swirls to defined wave shapes, there are many ways to bring waves into your ring. For those who prefer traditional styles, waves can be added to create detail and highlight centre stones.

Style Inspiration: Wave Engagement Rings
Here are just a few wave engagement rings we love, to help you plan your dream custom ring.
Classic Gold Pave

This ring is a great way to incorporate gentle waves into your ring while keeping the style classic and sophisticated. A swirled pave band lies in the centre, with a split gold band that runs above and below. At the centre, a solitaire diamond is perfectly positioned. The result is a ring that gives the illusion of waves, without losing its traditional style.
Platinum Dual Wave

Another way to enhance a traditional style is to replace regular bands with a twirling wave band. In this design, a pave-encrusted band swirls in two layers, with a solitaire diamond in the centre. In cool metal, this ring is timeless but interesting enough to add something extra. You could look at replacing the centre diamond with a sapphire or blue-toned gem to enhance the ocean-inspired look of this ring even further.
Minimal Rose Gold

With its distinct wave shape, this modern ring is simple, subtle, and perfect for those who prefer contemporary designs. A rose gold band in a simple wave shape curves over a round solitaire, set in a simple prong setting. While rose gold and diamonds work well, you could make this ring bolder by replacing the white diamond with a deep blue sapphire or Tanzanite.
Yellow Gold Bezel

Bezel cuts are an ideal choice for those who live busy lifestyles, offering a practical alternative to prong settings. This cut is often featured in modern designs. In this ring, a single diamond takes centre stage, with a solid yellow gold band that splits around the top of the centre diamond. The band meets again beneath the diamond, looping back into the solid band.
Three Stone Cluster

Three-stone rings come in just about every style you can imagine. In wave designs, there are many ways to bring in clusters. This design has a band that gently swirls at the edges, with three marquise diamonds in the centre. Add extra detail by using blue-toned stones instead of white diamonds to add to the illusion of gentle waves.
Delicate Pave Wave

For an ultra-feminine, delicate wave ring, this design is perfect. A fine rose gold band is encrusted with tiny white diamonds. The wave shape and fine band make it ideal for stacking. This ring would work well in any metal, whether you stick with white diamonds or go with stones inspired by the ocean.
