5 Top Reasons to Get Custom Made Engagement Ring

5 Top Reasons to Get Custom Made Engagement Ring

Choosing an engagement ring for the love of your life is an exciting experience but it’s also utterly daunting. There are so many factors to consider; diamonds, sapphires, or something else; silver or gold vermeil rings; what cut and which setting?

But did you wonder about commissioning a custom made engagement ring rather than buying from stock? There are so many reasons why bespoke engagement rings are a better choice for your future fiance. Here are 5 of the most important ones.

It’s Unique

A custom-made ring produced under your specifications is a true one of a kind. No other ring on the planet will ever be identical. This adds a lot more sentimental value and symbolism to the end product. It also allows for more creativity, after all – not all women want the traditional diamond solitaire. Your collaboration with a designer opens up the possibility of many alternative ring styles such as pyramid rings and lustrous gemstones that you may not have even heard of.

You could also factor in a precious heirloom gem from your family and have these set within the band. The world is very much your oyster when you enlist the talent of a handmade jewellery designer.

Higher Quality

When you commission a custom-made engagement ring it has been made specifically for you, and the jewellery designer will pour their heart and soul into the task. Having that one-to-one exchange with the designer will ensure that they understand exactly what you want and as they produce it in their studio, they know exactly who it is intended for.

You will be part of the journey from the planning stage right through to the delivery of the finished piece. Plus, when it comes to choosing your wedding bands – they’ll be able to create the perfect stacking rings to sit alongside the engagement band.

Catcall Choice

Let’s be realistic, this ring is going to see a lot of wear and you want to ensure that your future fiancé is going to be comfortable with the chosen ring. You might find some splendid gold vermeil rings in a jewellery shop but consider the design a little too large for your partner. In which case, you can take that concept to your designer and mould it into something more practical.

If you are already thinking ahead to future rings, such as eternity and anniversary bands, you can also factor in how the engagement ring will sit with them. Talk to your designer about the potential for stacking rings so that they can incorporate this into the design.

Enables More Financial Control

Whilst you might worry that a tailor-made ring is going to be more expensive than one from the stock cabinet, this is incorrect. The joy of customising a ring is that you can set your budget and ask your designer to produce a ring within that limit. Choose a trusted, reputable jewellery designer and they will tell you exactly what they can provide with your budget in mind. As you are dealing directly with the creator, there is more scope for discussion to accommodate your budget with the cut and design you have in mind. In comparison, unless you get a deal on a pre-made ring, that ring was priced up for an anonymous buyer and there is no scope for negotiation.

In the UK, gold vermeil rings have risen in popularity. They are more affordable than pure gold yet they have greater longevity due to the combination of a sterling silver base and a high-quality gold finish. Commissioning an engagement ring means that you can discuss whether gold vermeil rings are best for you.

Demonstrates Commitment

Commissioning a ring takes more time then waltzing into a shop and choosing one from the display. It shows that you’ve studied your partner’s personal tastes, interests and style and considered how you can capture this through the art of jewellery. That you know them so well that you know they would prefer pyramid rings to diamonds. You’re communicating that you value your future together enough to commission a ring that no other person on the planet has. That means something to everyone.
