Customizing Your Engagement Rings

Many couples want custom engagement rings to commemorate their union in a special way. Jewelers are very eager to serve this clientele and can often produce a gallery of pictures or pieces of custom work to start a couple or suitor's imagination. Ways to customize engagement rings are:

• Pick multiple stones
• Have a unique setting
• Choose unique stone cuts
• Engrave the ring

Pick Multiple Stones

This is a very popular way to modify the solitaire diamond engagement ring into something special. A jeweler can take stones from other rings, such as family heirlooms, and include them in a new design for personal and rich engagement rings. Some people pair pink diamonds with white diamonds because pink is associated with romance. Emeralds, rubies, and sapphires are also paired with diamonds.

Have A Unique Setting

A jeweler can easily customize a ring setting. This is where the strength of the design can really be uniquely different. Whether it is by adding scrolls and artwork to the setting, or simply placing the stones in a unique arrangement, the ring will be something very personal and expressive of a unique love.

Custom engagement rings can use platinum or a rose gold setting, to give a different hue to the ring setting. When choosing the stones, some people prefer platinum because it might appeal to their sense of aesthetics more than yellow gold. Others might choose rose gold to pair with pink diamonds in romantic symbolism. The choice is very individual.

Choose Unique Stone Cuts

Along with the setting, the stone cut can make the ring highly individual. Instead of a round-cut, people may choose triangular trillion-cut gemstones as the centerpieces for their custom engagement rings. Or, a radiant cut diamond might be mounted with trillion-cut accents stones.

Engrave the Ring

Have something special to say to your intended? Then engrave it into the ring. Whether you simply send your love, or put a small favorite romantic quotation, this adds a bit of romance and literary flair to the proposal! Of course, if you are European the custom is to engrave the name of your intended spouse and the marriage date inside the ring and might be considered obligatory, but still incredibly romantic.
