As their name suggests, spiral engagement rings have a spiral effect that surrounds the centre stone. Similar to swirl and twist rings, this ring typically features a solitaire diamond, with a twisted band, pavé diamonds, or side stones forming a spiral. The result is a ring that is unique and sophisticated.
While diamonds are always a perfect choice, you can use other stones in these engagement rings if you want a bolder style. Whether you prefer something subtle or something more eye-catching, we’ve put together some ideas to inspire you.

Here are some examples of how spiral engagement rings can be used in your custom ring design:
Double Twist Pavé

The spectacular double twist pavé ring from the Cape Diamonds collection features a swirling halo that runs from the bottom of the bands as they split, spiraling to a round diamond in the centre with a partial double halo. The result is an elegant ring that highlights the diamond beautifully. Platinum adds more impact to the ring, but cool-toned metals such as white gold would work equally well.
Gold Side-Stone

For a more subtle spiral, this ring has a gentle swirl and a yellow gold band that creates the spiral effect. Small diamonds are positioned on the band, leading up to the round solitaire diamond. The band curves as it spirals above and below the diamond, for a minimal, understated spiral.
Rose Gold Floral

Rose gold rings are always romantic, and in this ring, floral details combine with a spiral effect for an even more feminine look. A delicate rose gold pavé band swirls around tiny diamonds in the centre, arranged to form a flower. This gives the illusion of an endless spiral, wrapping over and under the tiny diamonds.
White Gold Twist

In this ring, a cool-toned white gold band is encrusted with small diamonds, wrapping over and under the round centre diamond in a gentle wave-like spiral. If you’re seeking a ring that has smaller diamonds rather than a single large diamond, this type of ring allows you to get all of the sparkle without paying a fortune for a bigger stone.
Two-Tone Semi-Bezel

Semi or half-bezel rings are a stylish take on traditional bezel-cut rings. They are ideal for spiral rings, especially when they are positioned to bring the band around the centre stone. In this ring, a gold band runs over and below the round diamond, with a pavé band running across. The two-tone effect adds even more detail, but it would look equally stunning in one metal.
Sapphire Swirl

As a perfect spiral, this ring features a blue sapphire in the centre, in a simple bezel setting. A fine pavé band begins to spiral from the centre, continuing outwards to the base of the band. The effect is a wave-like ring that makes the sapphire the shining star. It would look just as gorgeous with any other stone, including white diamonds.
Whirlpool Pear

For a bolder take on spiral rings, this whirlpool ring uses small pear-cut diamonds to create the spiral. These stones are positioned at an angle, forming a spiral around the centre stone. To get the full effect, you would need stones with pointed edges. These could include marquise, kite-shaped, triangular, or any other geometric shape that can sit at an angle.
