Design Your Own Wedding Ring

If you choose to design your own wedding ring, then you’re putting an investment in to a reminder of your wedding day that will always be with you.

Your wedding dress will end up for sale on eBay or stuffed in the back of your wardrobe. Your extra wedding invitation will be filed away in a scrapbook on your coffee table. Your flowers will eventually fade, and someday, pictures of your children will overtake pictures of your wedding day on your living room walls.

Your wedding ring, though, will be a constant, bright reminder of your wedding day and your marriage. Saving on your wedding budget is great, but for some it's important not to cut corners on your wedding ring.

If you have to design your own wedding ring to get exactly what you want, then you should do it. This information about how the designing process works can help you!

The benefits of creating your own ring

Most women and some men have a pretty distinct idea of what they want in a wedding ring. When you design your own, you can get everything you want and more. With most personalised ring companies, you’ll be able to choose the metal, the width, the design, the engraving, even the stones and settings that your ring has. Your ring will be like no other, and it will be exactly what you’ve always imagined.

Also, when you design or make your own ring, you’ll get lots of attention from the company who creates your ring. You won’t be just another customer ready to try on generic wedding bands until she finds one that happens to suit her needs. Whether you decide to design your own wedding ring or actually have a hand in making it, to get good service it's important to choose a good jewellery company.

How it works

There are a couple of different ways to go about this. You can simply design your own ring or you can actually help make it. Lots of companies have websites that will let you design your ring online. The jeweller will then either contact you by email or mail you a sketch of your finished ring before making it for you. When you design your ring online, you’ll be limited to a combination of different options, but you can still put them together in a unique way.

For even more control and flexibility you can meet with a jeweller and work on your ring design in person. If you do this, you’ll only be limited by your imagination and the jeweller’s extensive know-how. This might be a little more expensive than the first process, but if you have a totally unique ring in mind, it can get you exactly what you want and is a great opportunity for a jeweller to help with the practicalities of making your design.

A few jewellery companies actually let you make your own ring. With these companies, you decide on your design before hand, and then you go and witness the jewellery making process. Then, under the expert eye of a master jeweller, you’ll actually help melt the metal for your ring, pour it into a mold and polish it.

The way that you choose to design your own wedding ring will depend on your budget. Surprisingly, a custom ring might not be as expensive as you might imagine. Call around a few different companies before you choose the one that’s right for you. Then, get online and look around at different jewellery stores to get ideas for your gorgeous custom wedding ring.
