One of the many great things about a custom engagement ring is that it gives you the chance to create a ring that is tailored just for you. This means choosing the stone, the setting, the metal and various other features. It also means adding details that turn a unique ring into a true treasure.
There are a few different ways that you can personalise your custom engagement ring. Keep reading to find out how.
Personalising Your Custom Engagement Ring
Some of the ways that you could add a personal touch to your custom engagement ring include the following:
Add an engraving.
Engraving gives you the chance to add messages, dates or any other information that matters only to you and your love. You could get creative and engrave lines from a song or poem that you both love. You could honour the day you met and the day that big question was popped. Later, you could update the ring with your children’s birth dates if you decide to have kids someday.
Insert a hidden stone.
Hidden stones are a popular choice – especially among romantics. These stones typically sit under the band and can only be seen when the ring is off. Even though others can’t see the stone, you will always know it is there. The stone can be symbolic of your love. Choose a stone representing love, such as a heart-shaped diamond or colour or stone that you love.
Use your birthstone.
You can also use your birthstone as a secret stone or a visible stone included in your ring. There are many different ways to incorporate other stones into your ring. You can use gemstones as accent stones next to a larger diamond. You can use them as your main stone, with diamonds used as a pave band, halo or side stones. For something even more romantic, you can use the birthstone for the month you met rather than the month of your birth. It’s worth noting that you may not love your birthstone so always make sure that it’s a stone you will want on your ring for decades to come.
Choose a symbolic style.
There are many beautifully symbolic ring styles out there. One such style is the three stone or trinity ring. These stones represent your past, present and future. Most have a larger diamond in the centre representing your present, with two smaller stones on each side representing past and future. Round cut diamonds are the most commonly used stones. You can also use cushion cut, baguette cut or any other cut. You can choose a modern setting, such as a bezel setting, with a trillion or geometric cut stone. You can also use different coloured stones to flank your centre stone.
Honour family tradition.
Want to pay homage to family tradition without taking on that heirloom ring that isn’t quite right for you? You can add a few details to the ring that honour the family ring and tradition in your own way. With many older rings, there are beautiful elements that can work well in modern rings. You may like the stones but not the setting or you may love the vintage band but not the rest of the ring. Add some traditional details and you will have a unique ring that merges past and present.
