It is becoming increasingly more popular for couples to commission a bespoke engagement ring, rather than choose an off-the-shelf design. There are many benefits to choosing a custom-made ring, and if you are planning on proposing to your loved one, it may be worthwhile considering. You can read about some of the pros and cons of having a custom ring commissioned on the insideweddings.com website, and below are some of the most important benefits of opting for a custom-made ring.
A World Of Choice Available
Why go for something that someone else has when you can choose from the designs of custom-made engagement rings and have something that is unique and personal to you? When you are commissioning your engagement ring, you can choose from traditional 14K yellow gold or go for something hardwearing such as titanium or platinum, or even a combination of metals. You can also choose from traditional white diamonds or go for something else such as a pink diamond, or rubies or sapphires. As well as an abundance of choice in materials that you can use, there are also many different design elements that you can include to your engagement ring that will have it standing out from the crowd.
A Design Within Your Budget
Before you look to go shopping for an engagement ring, you should first work out your budget. When you visit the jewellers, you can then tell them what your budget is and what you are looking for, and they will then be able to work within these limitations and show you the different options that you have available to you. They will also be able to offer alternatives that may be an excellent way to save money such as choosing a lower grade diamond or one that is a lower carat weight, and they could also advise on alternative metals that you can use for the ring. Just because you are having a bespoke ring made, it does not mean that it will be more expensive than premade rings that are on offer. With some careful planning and some good advice, you can even save money when you purchase a custom engagement ring.
You Get Exactly What You Want
When you choose to commission a custom engagement ring you can be involved in every step of the process, from selecting the metals, precious stones, the cut of the precious stones as well as the settings used. You can be involved in every step of the process from the design stage, through to the finished product. The result will be truly unique, and there will not be another ring like it anywhere! You can also go that extra step and have the ring engraved with either a name, memorable date or a term of endearment for your loved one. A custom ring will reflect you and your tastes and personality and is an excellent way to show your partner how much you care for them and how important they are to you.
