Anatomy of a Ring

Engagement Ring Styles

An engagement ring is more than a proposal—it is a daily piece of wearable architecture. The way a ring is set and composed determines how it catches the light, how it feels on the hand, and how it expresses the wearer’s personality. At Chez Theia, each ring is designed around carefully chosen natural or lab-grown diamonds and gemstones to create a piece with lasting meaning.

Symbolism of Ring Types

Each ring tells a story. From quiet promises to lifelong vows, these silhouettes carry deep emotional meaning, capturing every chapter of a shared journey.

Wedding Band

A timeless circle with no beginning or end, the wedding band represents eternal love, unity, and commitment. Traditionally crafted in white gold, yellow gold, or platinum, its simplicity allows the significance of the bond itself to take center stage. Worn on the fourth finger of the left hand—long believed to be connected directly to the heart—the wedding band serves as a daily, elegant reminder of a shared promise and lasting partnership.

Anniversary Band

An elegant expression of lasting milestones, the anniversary band features diamonds or gemstones set along one-third to one-half of the band’s circumference. Stones are typically secured in channel or prong settings, offering a balance of brilliance, comfort, and durability. Designed to commemorate anniversaries or significant life moments, this band layers seamlessly with engagement and wedding rings or stands beautifully on its own.

Eternity / Infinity Band

An eternity band symbolizes unending love, featuring identically cut diamonds or gemstones set in an unbroken circle around the ring. Its continuous sparkle represents a bond without beginning or end. Often gifted for significant anniversaries or milestones, it offers a refined, timeless expression of lasting commitment.

Promise Ring

A promise ring is a meaningful symbol of devotion and commitment between two people, often serving as a pre-engagement gesture. Unlike engagement rings, which traditionally follow more classic and structured design codes, promise rings frequently embrace contemporary or fashion-forward styles. They represent an intention to build a future together, marking a relationship’s growth with a piece that is personal, expressive, and deeply sentimental.

Engagement Ring

An engagement ring is a timeless symbol of a promise to marry, traditionally given by a fiancé to mark the beginning of a shared future. Most often set with a diamond or distinctive gemstones, the design reflects both personal style and enduring significance. It is customarily worn on the fourth finger of the left hand during the engagement. After marriage, the engagement ring is typically placed above the wedding band, allowing both rings to sit together as a unified expression of commitment and lifelong partnership.

Trilogy Ring

A trilogy ring features three carefully set stones along the band, with the center stone typically larger or elevated above the two matching side stones. This balanced design carries deep symbolism, representing the past, present, and future of a relationship, with the center stone reflecting the present moment and shared commitment. Elegant and meaningful, the trilogy ring blends timeless design with emotional depth, making it a powerful choice for engagements, anniversaries, or other significant milestones.

Chez Theia  •  Diamond Cut Portraits

Round

The round diamond is the eternal classic—perfectly balanced, endlessly radiant, and chosen for its unrivaled brilliance. Its symmetry allows light to dance from every angle, creating a sparkle that feels alive, constant, and unwavering. Symbolically, the round cut represents eternity, wholeness, and everlasting love, making it a timeless expression of a bond with no beginning and no end.

Oval

Graceful and luminous, the oval diamond offers the brilliance of a round cut with a softer, more elongated silhouette. Its shape flatters the hand while creating a gentle illusion of movement, as if light flows seamlessly through the stone. The oval symbolizes individuality and romance—ideal for those who honor tradition but embrace a love that is beautifully their own.

Princess

Bold yet refined, the princess cut is a modern love story told through clean lines and striking sparkle. Its sharp corners and brilliant facets speak to strength, confidence, and clarity of emotion. This cut symbolizes a love that is empowered, forward-thinking, and unapologetically radiant—perfect for a partner who rules their own fairytale.

Emerald

Elegant and composed, the emerald cut captivates with quiet confidence rather than overt sparkle. Its step-cut facets create long flashes of light, revealing clarity, depth, and inner beauty. Symbolically, the emerald cut represents honesty, transparency, and a love built on trust—where what lies beneath the surface is just as breathtaking as what is seen.

Pear

The pear diamond is poetry in motion, blending the brilliance of a round cut with the tapered elegance of a marquise. Its teardrop shape symbolizes joyful tears, new beginnings, and the emotional depth of love. Romantic and feminine, the pear cut embodies a love that is both tender and transformative.

Marquise

With its regal, boat-shaped silhouette, the marquise cut is designed to command attention. Its elongated form enhances brilliance while creating an illusion of graceful length on the finger. Historically associated with royalty, the marquise symbolizes grandeur, ambition, and a love that dares to be extraordinary.

Heart

The heart-shaped diamond is love made visible. Instantly recognizable and deeply romantic, it represents devotion, passion, and emotional connection. Every curve is intentional, every sparkle symbolic—a celebration of a love worn openly, proudly, and without reservation.

Radiant

Dynamic and full of fire, the radiant cut merges the elegant shape of an emerald cut with the brilliance of a round. Its faceting creates exceptional sparkle while maintaining a strong, structured silhouette. The radiant cut symbolizes energy, joy, and a relationship that shines brightest when tradition and modernity meet.

Cushion

Soft, romantic, and vintage-inspired, the cushion cut evokes old-world charm with a modern soul. Its rounded corners and pillow-like shape glow with a warm, romantic brilliance. Symbolizing comfort, intimacy, and enduring affection, the cushion cut is perfect for a love that feels both deeply familiar and endlessly enchanting.

Engagement Ring Styles

An engagement ring is more than a proposal—it is a daily piece of wearable architecture. The way a ring is set and composed determines how it catches the light, how it feels on the hand, and how it expresses the wearer’s personality. At Chez Theia, each ring is designed around carefully chosen natural or lab-grown diamonds and gemstones to create a piece with lasting meaning.

Engagement Ring Stacks

Stacking rings isn’t just a trend—it’s a love-language of sparkle. Build your dream engagement-ring ensemble with four essential rings: the Enhancer, the Spacer, the Showstopper, and the Cigar Band.

Your Finger’s Glam Squad

Each band adds personality, texture, and story. When layered with intention, your rings don’t simply sit on your finger—they perform.

Start with your engagement ring, then build around it with pieces that frame, protect, dramatize, and anchor. The result is a miniature skyline of gold and light that feels completely, unmistakably you.

The Enhancer Ring

The Enhancer is your spotlight-maker. It frames your engagement ring, lifts the silhouette, and adds flash from every angle. Think graceful arcs, diamond curves, and halos that hug your center stone and make it look instantly more luxurious.

The Spacer Ring

The Spacer is the quiet genius of stacking. It keeps your rings aligned, prevents metal-on-metal wear, and adds a chic breath of negative space so the stars of your stack never compete. Slim, simple, and absolutely essential.

The Showstopper Ring

Every stack needs drama. Enter the Showstopper: a bold diamond band or intricate design that commands attention. Nestled beneath your engagement ring and spacer, it transforms your bridal stack into a full-on fashion moment.

The Cigar Band Ring

The Cigar Band is your foundation of strength—sleek, sculptural, and confidently bold. It anchors the entire stack, adding visual weight at the base and a smooth plane of metal that contrasts beautifully with all the sparkle above.

How to Build Your Dream Stack

  • Start with the vision: Classic, romantic, or modern edge—let your engagement ring set the tone.
  • Play with contrast: Mix slim bands with bold ones, sparkle with smooth metal, and polished with textured finishes.
  • Experiment with metals: Keep it all yellow gold or mix white and rose for a couture, layered look.
  • Mark your milestones: Add a new band for anniversaries, celebrations, and chapters in your story.
  • Make it personal: Engravings, special diamond shapes, and meaningful details turn your stack into a wearable love story.

The Art of Ring Stacking

Ring stacking at Chez Theia exists in two distinct expressions—Everyday Stacking and Statement Stacking. Each reflects a different rhythm of life, yet both are grounded in craftsmanship, individuality, and timeless design.

Everyday Stacking

Effortless. Intuitive. Personal.

Everyday stacking is jewelry lived in, not reserved. It is quiet luxury—rings chosen for comfort, fluidity, and the ease with which they move from morning to night.

The Approach

  • Slim gold bands layered with delicate pavé
  • Subtle diamond accents rather than dominant stones
  • Soft profiles designed for all-day wear

Design Language

Texture leads the composition. High-polish gold contrasts with fine pavé. Bezel-set diamonds add structure without excess sparkle. Negative space is embraced, allowing the stack to breathe.

Gold & Diamonds

Gold sets the tone, diamonds add punctuation—yellow for warmth, white for understated refinement, rose for gentle softness.

How It Feels

Comfortable. Effortless. Familiar. A reflection of personal style rather than occasion.

Statement Stacking

Sculptural. Expressive. Intentional.

Statement stacking is bold composition. It is where jewelry becomes art—layered with confidence and designed to be seen.

The Approach

  • Sculptural gold forms paired with diamond-forward designs
  • Dramatic proportions balanced through spacing
  • A strong visual anchor supported by complementary layers

Design Language

Shape and structure lead. Wide bands meet slender accents. Diamond-forward rings are balanced by polished gold or textural details. The stack feels curated, not accidental.

Gold & Diamonds

Here, diamonds take the spotlight—emerald, marquise, pear, or radiant cuts for presence. Mixed metals are used with intention, and gold frames the brilliance.

How It Feels

Confident. Expressive. Powerful. Designed for moments when jewelry is meant to speak.
