Designing Your Own Ring: Be Creative! (Angela Lockhart)

Your wedding ring should be unique. It should work with your lifestyle and it should define who you are. Designing custom rings has picked up in popularity for these reasons. Gone is the day of a few different shapes settings of diamonds and rings. Today, the sky is the limit.

Designing your own ring or Custom Jewelry Design Services allows you to create a ring that is uniquely you and you alone. You will see many different shapes of stones combined with many different settings. A solitaire round cut diamond will look very different in a plain gold band setting vs. a more intricate platinum setting. One may not be your style at all while the other may be completely "you."

In these days of technology, you can find many online jewelers that will allow you to design your ring completely online from the comfort of your own home. Often, this is a very good way to save some money. Online jewelers typically have less overhead because of more competition. As a result, the price of their stones and bands can be significantly less than that of your local retail jeweler. Make sure that any ring you design has the stones certified by the Gemological Institute of America. The GIA will verify the quality of your stone.


Start with the type of stone you like best. Some websites may give you ideas of different bands that will work best with that type of stone, but if you choose to go off the beaten path and design something completely different, that can be done, as well. Many companies will provide a sketch of what you're looking for before completing your order, to insure that the jewelry is exactly what you wanted. Once you have chosen your stone and setting and are satisfied with what you have chosen, you order your ring.

Designing your own ring or Custom Jewelry Design Services has never been more popular than it is right now. Do your research, make sure your stone is certified and work with a reputable jeweler. Most importantly, take your time. Don't rush this. This could be the greatest gift you'll ever give or receive to make it all you want it to be. The ring of your dreams can be had with your own unique flair. You've now created a ring that is uniquely you and that will carry on for generations to come.
