Custom jewelry does not have to begin with an engagement ring. Diamond earrings and pendants offer their own opportunities to select the shape, setting, metal, and proportions that will define the finished piece.
Ritani extends its design tools to both categories, allowing you to create custom diamond jewelry for the ears or neckline. Natural and lab-grown diamonds are available, along with multiple settings and precious-metal options designed for each type of jewelry.
The process keeps familiar pieces from feeling predetermined. A pair of studs can take on a softer, sharper, or more expressive silhouette, while a pendant can be shaped around one diamond, a framed center, or a two-stone composition.
Personalization Changes With Placement
Earrings and pendants interact with different parts of your appearance. Earrings frame the face and rely on balance between two stones, while a pendant creates one focal point along the neckline.
That placement influences every later decision. An elongated earring shape can draw the eye vertically beside the face, while the same diamond shape may create a directional line when suspended from a chain.
Ritani provides separate builders for earrings and pendants rather than treating them as extensions of the ring-design process. Each path presents settings, shapes, and components suited to how that particular piece will be worn.
Custom Earrings Begin With a Matched Pair
Creating diamond earrings begins with two stones selected to work together. Ritani’s diamond-pair search lets you explore natural or lab-grown diamonds and filter by shape, carat, color, and clarity.
The pair can remain classic through round diamonds or take on a more distinctive outline through oval, pear, marquise, emerald, radiant, heart, Asscher, cushion, or princess cuts. Each shape changes how the earrings relate to the face before the metal setting is added.
Round and cushion diamonds create softer outlines, while princess, emerald, and Asscher cuts bring stronger geometry. Pear and marquise shapes introduce visible direction, and heart-shaped diamonds give the pair an immediately recognizable character.
Settings Shape the Final Expression
The setting determines how the diamonds are framed and how much metal becomes visible. Ritani’s custom earring collection includes three-prong, four-prong, bezel, halo, and curved huggie or hoop-inspired formats across selected shapes.
A three-prong setting leaves more of a round diamond visible, while four prongs create a balanced frame. A bezel traces the diamond with metal, and a halo adds a surrounding field of smaller stones.
Huggie designs bring the chosen diamond into a curved earring rather than placing it directly against the ear as a traditional stud. That format can give the pair more movement while preserving the focus on the selected center stones.
The setting can either support the diamonds quietly or become part of the pair’s identity. Two earrings built around the same diamond shape can feel substantially different when one uses a light prong arrangement and the other introduces a halo or visible metal border.
Earring Backs Add Another Personal Choice
Customization continues behind the ear. Ritani offers push-back and screw-back choices on applicable custom earring settings, allowing the wearer to select the fastening style that suits their preferences.
Push backs use the familiar friction-back format and are designed for straightforward application and removal. Screw backs twist onto threaded posts and provide another way to secure the finished earrings.
Selected settings may also offer jumbo backs for larger pairs. Although the backing is rarely seen, it completes the design around how the earrings will actually be handled and worn.
Pendants Create One Central Design
A custom pendant replaces the symmetry of earrings with one central composition. The diamond shape, setting, and chain connection determine how the piece sits against the neckline.
Ritani’s pendant builder includes round, cushion, princess, Asscher, oval, emerald, heart, and pear shapes. Available setting directions include three-prong, four-prong, bezel, halo, and Toi et Moi designs.
A round solitaire creates a balanced focal point, while an oval, emerald, or pear diamond brings more direction to the design. Halo settings widen the visual presence, and Toi et Moi pendants place two shapes together in one composition.
These choices allow a pendant to remain restrained or become more noticeable without requiring an entirely different jewelry category. The customization comes from how familiar components are selected and combined.
The Chain Connection Changes the Silhouette
A pendant’s relationship with its chain influences the full line of the piece. Ritani offers stationary settings as well as designs suspended from a bail or split bail.
A stationary pendant is connected directly to the chain, giving the impression that the diamond rests within its line. A bail allows the setting to hang below the chain and creates a clearer drop at the center of the neckline.
That distinction can change how the pendant looks alone or beside other necklaces. A stationary solitaire feels integrated and streamlined, while a suspended design gives the diamond more visual separation from the chain.
Metal Can Blend With the Diamond or Frame It
Ritani custom earring and pendant settings are available in selected combinations of white, yellow, and rose gold, along with platinum. Exact options vary by individual design.
White metals can create a cooler transition around a white diamond. Yellow or rose gold makes the setting more visible and introduces warmth around the stone.
The choice can follow jewelry already worn near the face or neckline. Earrings may echo a favorite pair of glasses or other ear jewelry, while a pendant can coordinate with chains and necklaces already in regular rotation.
Custom earrings and pendants do not have to use identical metals to feel connected. A repeated diamond shape or similar setting style can create continuity even when each piece follows a different color direction.
Natural and Lab-Grown Diamonds Keep the Design Open
Ritani allows you to choose natural or lab-grown diamonds when creating custom earrings and pendants. The diamond search tools then let shape, carat, color, and clarity guide the selection within either path.
This flexibility keeps the design centered on the finished appearance. You can decide which diamond type suits the individual piece rather than applying one rule to every item in a jewelry collection.
A pair of earrings and a pendant can still share a visual relationship when their diamond origins differ. Matching shapes, related proportions, or a consistent metal treatment can connect the pieces without turning them into an exact set.
Custom Jewelry Makes Gifting More Specific
A custom piece can reflect the recipient through design choices rather than an inscription alone. The shape they already wear, the metal found throughout their collection, and whether they prefer earrings or necklaces can all guide the process.
Someone drawn to clean geometry may appreciate emerald- or princess-cut studs. A wearer who favors softer lines may respond to an oval pendant, while a heart shape or two-stone design can bring a more expressive direction.
The jewelry category itself also carries information. Custom earrings suit someone who regularly wears studs or huggies, while a pendant may feel more natural for a person who builds outfits around necklaces.
Ritani’s builders give the giver control over these details instead of limiting the selection to completed combinations. The finished jewelry can feel recognizable and polished while still reflecting choices made for one wearer.
Create Custom Jewelry Beyond the Ring Finger
Personalized fine jewelry can take shape wherever the wearer enjoys it most. Earrings introduce decisions involving paired diamonds, facial framing, settings, and backings, while pendants use one central stone, chain placement, and proportion to define the neckline.
Ritani brings these paths together with engagement rings under its wider Design Your Own Jewelry offering. The tools allow you to participate in the composition of familiar diamond pieces without requiring a completely unconventional design.
