One of the most important events in a man’s life is when he asks his lady to marry him. Traditionally he presents her with a ring as a sign of his love and commitment. As the proposal is so unique, the ring should be unique too. A bespoke engagement ring tells the young man’s intended he cared enough to give her a piece of jewellry that was completely original and designed to his specifications.
Choosing the Ring
The first step to designing a bespoke engagement ring is to determine what type of precious metal is to be used. The choices include platinum, gold, white gold as traditional choices and silver in rare circumstances. To determine what type of precious metal to choose, pay attention to your intended. Does she wear mostly gold or silver jewelry. If your bride to be wears silver than consider platinum or white cold. Keep in mind that platinum will probably cost a bit more than gold so keep your budget in mind when designing the ring.
Choosing the Stone
The traditional engagement ring usually consists of a single diamond ranging from ½ carat up to 2 carats. When designing your bride’s ring keep an open mind. There may be other stones that are just as suitable as a diamond. As a matter of fact colored gemstones are becoming more and more popular for engagement rings. Try and choose a stone that suits the personality of your intended. A more traditional girl will prefer a diamond. A young lady who is more flamboyant or eclectic might enjoy a colored gemstone instead.
When designing a bespoke engagement ring for your fiancée, keep in mind her personality and likes and dislikes. Choose a setting and stone that are meaningful for both of you. Remember to keep your budget in mind at all times and adjust your choices accordingly.
