If you have a singular vision of how your engagement ring should
appear, you can now design your own ring. Every ring has a story
behind it but if you want your ring to be a story starter years after you, then
a custom ring is the best choice for you. However, designing a ring is not as
easy as you may think. You need to know a few important things before you
design your ring.
Make an
informed decision
You should understand the
cons and pros of designing a ring before plunging ahead with your plan to
design your ring. You also need to understand several benefits of designing
your engagement ring:
- Your
engagement ring will feel creative and inspired, a reflection of your
personality,
- Your
ring will reflect your values and interests
- Your
ring will be unique and no one else will have an engagement ring like
yours
- A
unique design will garner all the attention needed and it will be a
conversation starter for many years to come
- When
you create matching rings, you can also create a symbol of who you are as
a couple
However, when designing a
ring, you also need to understand a few drawbacks:
- Designing
a ring is more expensive and you might end up paying up to three times
what you would have paid for a non-custom ring. The amount you pay to design your own ring
online will
depend on how elaborate the design should be and how far it deviates from
traditional rings.
- Designing
a ring takes longer compared to buying a non-custom ring. It can take you
months and even a full year to design your ring. On the low end, you
should expect a good custom-designed ring to take several months.
- You
also need to get involved and this means that you will spend a lot of time
meeting with your jeweller to give more information about your desired
ring.
- Your
jeweller will have a say in the ultimate design.
- Designing
a ring is unpredictable. You will not be able to see, touch and feel the
ring until it is complete.
Understand
the process
Before you design your
engagement ring, it is crucial to understand the process. The specifics of
designing a ring will vary depending on your needs and the jeweller you choose.
Here are a few things you should expect.
Sketch
your idea
If you have a distinct
vision of the ring you want, you should start by sketching the idea as best as
you can. You can search the internet for inspiration.
Find
the right designer
Once you have an idea in
mind, you should look for the best designer to put it into reality.
Collaborate
You will need to
collaborate with your designer to come up with the best idea possible.
Sometimes when you design your own ring you can use a designer who is also a jeweller or you can use a
designer and a jeweller separately.
