The Finley Marquise Diamond Wedding Ring
Design Process
The Lisa Robin Wedding Band Experience
A thoughtful process designed to bring clarity and confidence to the creation of your wedding band.
Our collection is intentionally edited — each wedding band design reflects a distinct point of view, with proportions and details that set it apart from what you've likely been seeing online.
When something here resonates, the decision tends to feel clear.
From there, we guide you in refining the details to align the design with your preferences.
Once you've chosen your wedding band, you'll select the core elements that define the design:
- Metal type
- Natural or lab-grown diamonds (if applicable)
- Finger size
- Optional engraving
If your wedding band will be worn alongside an engagement ring, we can help you evaluate how the proportions and overall profile will sit together and feel over time.
These decisions are focused and straightforward — so you can move forward with clarity.
If you'd like to adjust your diamond wedding ring, we guide you through a thoughtful refinement process — ensuring any changes support the overall balance and feel of the design.
Common refinements may include:
- Adjusting band width or profile
- Refining diamond size or spacing
- Subtle modifications to improve pairing or wearability
Each change is considered within the context of the full design, so the final ring feels cohesive and intentional from every angle.
For custom refinements, we provide renderings for review before crafting begins — so you can move forward with complete confidence.
Every custom wedding band is hand-crafted to order based on your final selections.
- Crafted specifically for your chosen design and refinements
- No pre-made inventory or resizing shortcuts
- Typical timeline: 2–3 weeks
If additional clarity is helpful before crafting begins, we can guide you through the next steps to ensure everything feels aligned.

Gender Neutral Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands — Frequently Asked Questions
Gender neutral rings are designed without the visual markers that traditionally distinguish 'men's' from 'women's' rings — meaning they don't lean toward extremely substantial widths (traditional masculine), extremely refined narrow widths (traditional feminine), heavy surface texture, floral motifs, or other visual elements that carry strong gender associations. Instead, gender neutral designs use middle-range widths (typically 3-5mm), balanced proportions, clean construction, restrained diamond placement, and design vocabulary that reads appropriately on any hand. Many rings designed without specific gender intent end up working as gender neutral by default; this collection curates those designs into a single browsable group.
Yes — this is one of the primary use cases for the gender neutral collection. Both partners can choose rings from the same design family with width or material variations adapting each ring to the wearer's hand. Common approaches: same design at different widths (4mm and 6mm Tanner, for example), same width in different metals (yellow gold and white gold), same design at identical specifications (when hand sizes are similar), or coordinated-but-distinct designs (each partner chooses a different ring that shares aesthetic vocabulary). The Tanner family is particularly suited for matched couples' bands because it offers five widths in the same design language.
No. Engagement rings and wedding bands are personal choices — some couples choose both, some choose only wedding bands, some choose only engagement rings, and configurations vary. There's no universal expectation that any particular configuration is correct. For same-gender couples or any couple preferring a streamlined approach, both partners wearing wedding bands only (without engagement rings) is a valid choice. For couples wanting more ring presence, both partners can wear engagement ring + wedding band. The configuration choice should serve the couple's preferences, not external expectations.
Yes — the design vocabulary in this collection is a starting point, not a constraint. Adjustments toward more traditionally masculine (wider band, more substantial profile, surface texture) or more traditionally feminine (narrower band, more refined proportions, more prominent diamond detail) can be made during custom design. Some couples want their rings to land at the gender neutral midpoint; others want their rings to lean slightly in one direction while remaining outside the traditional 'his and hers' binary. We discuss preferences during the design conversation. The flexibility is the point: the rings should reflect each wearer's individual identity rather than fitting predefined categories.
That's a valid choice. Couples don't need to wear matching or even coordinated rings — many couples choose rings that reflect each partner's individual style preferences. One partner might want a substantial textured wedding band while the other prefers a refined diamond eternity ring. The relationship doesn't require visual symmetry between the rings. For couples wanting some visual connection between distinctly different rings, options include shared metal (both rings in yellow gold, for example), shared engraving (matching dates or phrases inside both rings), or shared diamond origin (both rings using lab grown diamonds). We discuss approaches during the design conversation.
Yes. A gender neutral wedding band can be paired with any engagement ring, including engagement rings that lean more traditionally feminine or masculine. The pairing decisions involve standard considerations: matching diamond cut vocabulary, metal coordination, width proportion, and design language coherence. A gender neutral wedding band paired with a more characterful engagement ring creates a deliberate vocabulary mix — the engagement ring brings the design statement, the wedding band brings refined support. Many couples find this approach works well because the engagement ring carries the visual focal weight and the wedding band supports without competing.
Rings in this collection are made-to-order in approximately 2-4 weeks from when your order is placed. Wedding bands typically finish in 2-3 weeks. Engagement rings with center stones and substantial design typically take 3-4 weeks. Custom designs (where Lisa designs something specific to your vision) take 3-4 weeks from design approval. Interior engraving adds approximately 1 week to any timeline. For wedding date deadlines, confirm timeline during the order conversation.
Yes. All diamonds in this collection can be specified as lab grown or natural. Lab grown diamonds are physically and optically identical to natural diamonds — same hardness, same brilliance, same chemical and crystal structure — but cost approximately 40-60% less for the same carat weight, color, and clarity. Most accent diamonds in wedding bands today are lab grown; the visual difference is undetectable. Lab grown diamonds are particularly aligned with values around responsible sourcing for couples who prioritize that consideration. We discuss diamond origin during the design conversation.
Pricing depends on the specific design, metal choice, diamond specifications, and any customization. Plain Tanner gold wedding bands start around $700-$2,400 depending on width and karat. Diamond wedding bands range $1,200-$8,000+ depending on diamond count, carat weight, and design complexity. Engagement rings in this collection start around $2,500-$3,500 for solitaire designs and range to $15,000+ for more substantial designs with larger center stones. Custom designs vary based on specifications. Lab grown diamonds reduce cost approximately 40-60% compared to natural. Specific pricing is confirmed during the design conversation.
Yes. Design appointments are open to anyone planning engagement rings, wedding bands, or other significant jewelry. The appointment is a conversation about your relationship, your aesthetic preferences, your timeline, and your budget. Whether you're a same-gender couple choosing matched wedding bands, a nonbinary individual designing a single ring for yourself, an engaged couple of any configuration, or anyone wanting to discuss ring design — the appointment serves your specific situation rather than fitting you into predetermined categories. Appointments are available via Zoom, phone, or in person at the Dayton studio. The first appointment is complimentary.
