Custom Engagement Rings: Is It The Right Choice For You?
November 17, 2011
For certain discerning jewelry buyers, what’s available from local or online jewelers just isn’t unique enough. The “perfect” engagement ring, for example, may only exist in their imaginations. The solution? Custom engagement rings are the best option for these discriminating consumers!

Many jewelers are true artisans, and jump at the chance to help bring an imagined design to life. These jewelers can lend their expertise to the original design, offering suggestions where needed. Custom made engagement rings may sound incredibly costly, but in fact, with today’s technology, jewelers have found ways to streamline the process to make it affordable.
Jewelers typically use a four-stop process to create a custom engagement ring from the bottom-up. Beginning with a 3-D computer aided design program, jewelers create and perfect the design before ever moving to the physical design. The computer then renders the design for the customer, showing them exactly what the physical ring will look like. If everything is as expected, a wax prototype is created, from which the final ring is assembled. The process is smooth and stress-free, resulting in a completely unique ring design.
Customize in Simpler Ways, Too
Custom engagement rings are not always just taking a design and building it from the ground-up. In fact, one can customize a ring in any number of different ways. The easiest and quickest – and probably cheapest – way to customize an engagement ring is to engrave something meaningful on the ring. One may choose a date, initials, names, or a short phrase. Engraving a ring can be a very intimate, special thing, since engravings on rings typically are done on the inside of the band.
Jewelers can also create custom made engagement rings by way of putting family gems into a new setting, or modifying a family heirloom for a more modern look. This method of integrating the past and the present is very popular, giving couples an opportunity to honor their heritage while still enjoying a gorgeous custom engagement ring.
Set Yourself Apart With a Custom Engagement Ring
Custom engagement rings and custom wedding rings are the ideal choice for the person who just has to have something singular and unique. The process is not as quick as walking into a jeweler and purchasing a ring, but it is certainly not an arduous, prohibitively expensive exercise either.
