(473 Words)
The love you have for your bride-to-be is one-of-a-kind, thus why not get a custom engagement ring to go along with it? When you get a custom engagement ring, there is no limit to what you can make. Take a step-by-step approach to make this perfect piece of jewelry for your intended bride.
First, you need to think about the design that you want. You might want something special that is meaningful to you and your bride. For instance, you might want a ring that somehow incorporates your initials into it. You might already have a vision. Just because you are getting a ring custom made does not mean that you have to come up with it all on your own, however. You might have seen a celebrity engagement ring and want to emulate that, or you might see something in a magazine that you like.
Once you have an idea in your mind then you should get it on paper. This is obviously easy if it is from a magazine. If it is from your mind then put in as much detail as possible. Think about both the size and shape of all of the stones, as well as how they are set.
Many engagement rings have a center diamond and you may decide to choose this first before getting the ring made around it. You do not need to use the same jeweler for the stone as the one who is going to make the ring. Jewelers as well as online sources offer diamonds. Think about the size, shape, clarity and price you need in a diamond.
Now you need to look for a jeweler who can custom make your engagement ring. Bring the diamond with you if you have purchased it in advance, as well as a description and your picture. Be very specific in what you want, such as the cut, size and clarity of all additional diamonds or gemstones.
Talk to not one, but a wide variety of jewelers in your search. Ask them how they would make it and see if they have examples of other jewelry that they have custom made. Find out exactly how much it will cost. Decide who you think will best fit your vision and make sure that you get the pricing written down. Make sure that he can get it done by the time you need it.
Work with the jeweler as he creates your ring. He may first create a wax model so that the bride can try it on and see if you’re happy with it. Make sure to tell them any time you are not happy with something about the ring; it is very important to get it exactly as you want it since it is such a special ring. Finally, you will get the perfect engagement ring.
