Canadian Diamond Engagement Ring | 1ct Round | Architect X

The Architect X solitaire balances strength and simplicity. At its center, a 1 carat Canadamark-certified natural diamond shines with clean brilliance. The band, though delicate, features the distinctive crossover "X" design—a geometric detail that adds depth and structure without overpowering the diamond. Canadamark diamonds are sourced from Canada’s Northwest Territories, completely natural and untreated. Available in solid platinum or 14k solid gold, with options in white gold, rose gold, or yellow gold. A ring that honors the diamond while making a statement of its own.

Canadian Diamonds

For couples in search of tradition and clean luxury, Canadamark known origin diamonds are the perfect choice. Sourced from Canada's Northwest Territories, these brilliant jewels are certified, natural, and untreated. They are a premium option for anyone who wants the best and wishes to honor their ethical values as well. 

Think of the pricing you see here as a rough estimate, on the high end. At this level of the market, there are few stones available to choose from and the price can vary depending on market conditions, quality, tariffs, and more. If you want to make this super easy, you can simply purchase one of the two quality options and we will use all of our expertise to select the absolute best Canadamark diamond we can find you for the money. We're good at this and love to find ways to maximize your value.

If you'd like to be more involved in the process, contact us directly before purchase and we'll work side by side with you, showing you the individual diamonds you can choose from and their exact pricing. This can be a good route if you're on a budget because instead of picking "The most stone for what you paid" we can help you pick "the best stone for the least money right now".

Custom Ring Production

Let’s talk about how this magic comes to life. It all starts in Oregon or Texas, where we dream up the design in our cozy studio (usually with a cat supervising). Then our CAD files and carefully chosen gems head to the premier jewelry manufacturer in the U.S.—a place that’s not only certified as a Great Place to Work but also happens to be staffed by some of the most talented humans we’ve ever met. Using precision CAM and 3-D printing tech, they mold, cast, set, and polish the ring to perfection. After that, it makes its way back to us for final setting, a rigorous quality check (we’re picky, trust us), and its own photoshoot before heading out to you in an insured parcel. It takes an average of only 3-8 weeks from the time your order is finalized.

Ring images are photorealistic renders from my CAD system. Consider them a really amazing preview sketch! Diamonds tend to render accurately, but colored gemstones are often markedly different in appearance from the renders. Whenever possible I’ve included an example photo of the actual gem variety for a more realistic presentation. Unique designs often include a photograph of the exact gem that will be used in the ring.

Unique Custom Engagement Ring Possibilities

We create jewelry for the real you—whether you’re proposing to your one-in-a-million or searching for a ring that truly speaks to your heart, we’re here to help. Because let’s be real—your dream ring isn’t sitting on clearance in a smudged shop window.

We work with an extensive gem inventory and trusted sources worldwide, offering everything from lab-created diamonds and Canadian-mined diamonds to Moissanite and ethically sourced, brilliantly colored gems. Whatever your budget or values, we’ll help you find the perfect fit.

When it comes to metals, the sky’s the limit. Platinum, palladium, or gold in 10k to 22k—even unique options like rose or green gold. Want it personal? We can engrave your own handwriting or add a font and fill color (depending on the band width, of course). And while our signature mirror polish is a fan favorite, you’ve got options—eight surface textures to be exact, with hammered and satin leading the pack.

Let’s create something meaningful, just for you.
