Question to ask yourself

When choosing the right setting for you, take note of your own style, as the piece is something you might want to wear daily. If you wear it daily, you want a piece that fits seamlessly into your life. Ask yourself if you plan to wear this piece of jewelry every day or just on special occasions? 

 To narrow it down, ask yourself questions like "What do I like to wear?" "Do I tend to wear more silvers or golds?" or "Am I a minimalist or a maximalist?" If you wear one metal type more than another, you might want to go with the metal you wear most, as it will work with the rest of your pieces. If you lean toward a more minimalist look, then a solitaire or simple three-stone ring might work best, but if you are more of a maximalist, then maybe a halo ring or a ring with melee on the band of the ring will go with your style.

 

 Find inspiration photos

Now that you have narrowed down maybe the color, metal, or general style, but you still don't know what details you want to try looking for inspiration pictures. While looking for inspiration, take note of small details that you like. Having inspiration pictures can come in handy when communicating the look you want and help you identify trends in the different elements that you pick most. Companies like EverDear™ not only have a beautiful collection to choose from but will work with you to create a custom piece.

The stone 

The center stone made of your loved one's ashes is an essential part of the jewelry piece you pick, and it should be considered when making the rest of your decisions about your jewelry. When looking at the diamond you selected, you want to consider the cut, color, and carat of the memorial diamond, as all of these factors can influence the overall style of jewelry you want. 

Color

The memorial diamond color is essential when considering the type of metal that will make up your setting. If you chose a cool-toned diamond like green or blue, you might want to go with a cool-toned metal like white gold or platinum. The same goes for the opposed color scheme. Warm-toned stones would look best with warm-toned metal like yellow gold and rose gold. Of course, if you have chosen a colorless diamond, you have your choice of metal as it goes with all of them.

Cut

The cut of the memorial diamond also informs the setting you might want. A classic cut like round or princess-cut will go with every setting and look stunning. Still, if you get a unique cut like pear or marquise, you might want to highlight that by putting it in a solitaire setting or with just two or three smaller accompanying stones that will showcase the cut.  

Carat 

Your budget might dictate the size of your stone, but that doesn't mean you can not have a stunning piece that will hold all of your beautiful memories. The average carat weight for a ring or necklace ranges from 0.5 to 1 carat. A stone of this size will look good in any setting you put it in. As a decent-sized diamond, it is large enough to show off the cut and brilliance but is still a sensible size in terms of daily wear and budget. Diamonds that are smaller than that would look best in a set of earrings as their dainty size will be the perfect bit of sparkle to accentuate your face.
