Creating a custom engagement ring is one of the most romantic and endearing projects you may do in your lifetime. Your soon to be fiancé will actually love the idea that you took the time to create their ring that will be unlike any other and will cherish the ring for years to come. This ring is more than just a piece of random jewelry, but is a sign of love, commitment, and devotion. You will want the engagement ring you choose to be exactly what you desire and one that your bride to be will want to show off to her family and friends.
Design
The very first thing you must do is decide what you want. The best way to do this is to look at rings of those around you and learn more about the cut of diamonds. When you get an idea of the styles you know you do not like then it will be easier to choose the ones you do like. You may wish to have a large stone or several small stones. You may even desire to have other gems along with the diamonds to add more color and uniqueness to the style. The center stone should always be a diamond, but you can choose from all kinds of precious gems to accent the diamond. You may use all diamonds but with different colors.
Time to Create
Remember, you are asking a jeweler to create a custom ring. You cannot walk into a jewelry store and purchase the ring you are having hand crafted. Ensure that you order the ring in plenty of before the day you wish to propose so the jeweler will be able to do his magic. In most cases, it will take around six weeks from start to finish to create a custom engagement ring.
Know your budget
A custom engagement ring is of course more expensive that one you can buy from the showcase. If the design you have in mind is more than you can afford, you can talk with the jeweler to see how you can create this ring within your budget. You may have to change some of the gems or use smaller sizes or a different metal for the ring such as platinum instead of 24k gold. Either way, stay as close to the design as possible, but make a few exceptions to ensure that you are not going to be paying for the ring after your children of the future are headed off to college.
Choosing a Jeweler
The best way to find a jeweler is to look online and see samples of the custom engagement rings they have created in the past. Talk with the jeweler and learn just how much he or she knows about the styles and gems you wish to use to ensure that the engagement ring that is created will be one that your fiancé will be proud to wear.
