Custom-Designing Your Own Wedding Rings

There are many elements that go into the perfect wedding ceremony, such as the right dress, the right venue, the right decor, and so on. However, out of all the wedding prep that you need to do, the only things that will physically last your lifetime are your wedding rings. As such, you might want to make them a little extra special, and having your rings custom-designed can allow you to do just that. Here are a few tips on having your rings made bespoke for you and your big day.

Find the jeweler who can make it

First of all, you have to make sure that you have the jewel that can actually craft the rings that you want. There are plenty of custom ring designers that you can work with, but it’s up to you to check the reviews, as well as the options that they have available, and to make sure that they suit your needs. Of course, bear in mind that this type of jeweler is going to cost a little more than buying a ring that’s pre-made, as well.

Choosing the right metal

The metal of the band is, of course, going to be an important choice as it’s going to determine the overall aesthetic of it, as well as its practicality. For instance, you should compare the pros and cons of platinum, such as its durability and hypoallergenic qualities but its higher price tag compared to traditional options like gold, and slightly more budget-friendly metals like sterling silver. You may also find that some metals cannot be worked into certain shapes as easily as others. Palladium, for instance, is notoriously hard to work with, so you need a jeweler who is very experienced in making palladium rings to get good results from it.

Choosing the right gemstones

Most people who buy wedding rings are going to want diamonds in them. However, knowing your diamonds is vital. As well as things like the cut (be it brilliant round, emerald, radiant, or princess), you have to consider the quality of the diamond, such as vvs1 clarity diamonds. It’s not all about the diamonds, either. You can choose plenty of colorful gemstones, both valuable and otherwise, to give your ring a little extra sparkle. For instance, birthstone gemstones of both bride and groom are an additional way to make the rings feel more special to you and your spouse, in particular.

What kind of design do you want?

Of course, both options above are important to consider along with the idea of what kind of ring design you want in the first place. Some designs may not be possible with some materials and some gemstones may not work as well with some designs as they do with others. Take a look at some of the most popular ring designs and consider making a short-list, so that you can narrow it down to the best fitting option based on the other ring qualities you choose.

With the tips above, getting your wedding rings custom designed could help you enjoy your perfect wedding and keep ever-lasting souvenirs of that special day.
