An engagement ring should feel personal. With the Jacob Mercari Engagement Ring Builder, you can explore settings, choose a centre stone and see how your choices shape the finished ring all from home.
You can take your time comparing designs and prices online. If you would like a second opinion, our Toronto team is available to help in person or virtually.
How does the ring builder work?
1. Choose your setting. Start with the style you love, whether that is a simple solitaire, a hidden halo, a bezel setting or a ring with diamonds along the band. Compare available metals and check which centre-stone shapes suit each design.
2. Select your centre stone. Choose from natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds or gemstones. You can compare options by qualities such as shape, size and price to find a stone that fits your priorities.
3. Review your ring. See your selected setting and centre stone together, review the total price and proceed to checkout when you are ready. The price shown for a setting on its own does not include the centre stone; the builder updates the price as you make your selections.

Should you choose the setting or the diamond first?
Start with whichever matters most to you. If you already picture a particular ring a delicate solitaire, perhaps, or a bold three-stone design choose the setting first. It will help you narrow down compatible stones.
If you have your heart set on an oval diamond, a particular carat weight or a natural sapphire, explore centre stones first and then find a setting that brings out what you love about your choice.
There is no need to settle every detail before you begin. Comparing a few combinations is often the easiest way to discover what looks and feels right.
Natural diamond, lab-grown diamond or gemstone?
A natural diamond may appeal to you for its origin and rarity. A lab-grown diamond offers the same essential physical and optical properties as a natural diamond and generally costs less than a comparable natural stone. A coloured gemstone, such as a sapphire, can bring a distinctive colour and character to your ring.
The best choice depends on your style, budget and what matters to you. Our team can help you compare specific stones and their available grading information before you decide.
An online ring builder with Toronto support
If you are searching for an engagement ring builder in Toronto, you can explore your options online and still speak with a jeweller. Jacob Mercari offers private appointments at our Toronto studio and virtual consultations for customers elsewhere in Canada and the USA.
The builder is a useful starting point when you want to pair a setting with a centre stone. If you have an idea that needs a different design, an heirloom stone or a detail you cannot find among the available settings, ask us about a custom engagement ring.
