For those wanting a deeply symbolic engagement ring, a custom-designed ring is the perfect choice. Your relationship is a journey that starts from the moment you met and continues through many important milestones. Significant dates, personal moments, anniversaries, the birth of children, and events that bring you closer together are all part of your journey as a couple. Choosing an engagement ring that reflects each of these moments offers a way to pay homage to your journey, through the addition of tiny details that go beyond future-proofing.
In this guide, we’ll share some of the ways that you can choose a ring that evolves as your love story continues.
Selecting an Engagement Ring That Evolves with Your Love Story
Wondering how to choose an engagement ring that grows as your love story unfolds? Here are a few tips to keep in mind.
Celebrate Anniversaries
Your ring can be designed to incorporate elements that celebrate significant anniversaries. These can be personal details for the day you met, the day he proposed, the day of your wedding, or any other anniversary. You can also make additions to your ring on future anniversaries. For example, you may add pave diamonds on your tenth anniversary or a hidden ruby on your fifteenth anniversary. Adding details such as this as your marriage continues is a romantic way to adapt your ring and celebrate each important stage of your journey together.
Mark Milestones
Incorporating birthstones for other important milestones such as the birth of children can also be a great way to enhance your ring over time. You could add their birthstones, either as additional stones to make a cluster or as hidden stones set into the underside of your band. Add engravings with dates for your first home. You could add details for any other events that are special to you as a couple – the date of your first kiss or anything else that marked an important milestone that led to your marriage.
Adapt to Changes
Besides milestones and anniversaries, there are also the many changes that you experience individually. This is a ring you wear every day. Over time, you grow as a person. This means that your lifestyle and preferences may change. A ring that can easily adapt to your style is a great way to ensure that you always love your ring, whether you add an extra band, change the stones, change the setting, replace the metal, or make any other small change. You don’t need to completely change the ring, but there are subtle ways to adapt your ring.
Choosing an engagement ring that grows as your relationship evolves is the best way to ensure that is as enduring as your love. This means that you are able to celebrate the past and present as well as the future.
