Get that Personal Touch – Design your own engagement ring

It is not easy for everybody to find the ring according to their liking although there are numerous options available in the market.



If you are a person who want to have a unique design in your engagement ring then you can design your own engagement ring. When you design your own engagement ring you have the option of selecting the stone and the setting in that ring.

Most of the jewelers who create custom engagement ring allow you to select the type of setting you need and the stone that has to be in that setting. Before placing the stone in the ring some people would like to have the ring designed uniquely.

Thus you can design your own engagement ring in a personal way.Another way to design your own engagement ring is to replace a stone on an existing ring that you have which has sentimental values.

Most of the jewelers will do this replacement if the stone fits into the mount of the existing ring.

Expenses vary with options

If budget is not a constraint to design your own engagement ring then you have a ring of your choice and a stone that fits your expectations. For example if you want a diamond to be cut to your taste then it would be an expensive design.

When you design your own engagement ring you can consider gems like cubic zirconia or moissanite which could serve as an alternative to diamond. Moreover the cost of such engagement ring would be well within your budget while you get the same look as that of a diamond ring.

As far as the strength and the looks are concerned you can opt for Moissanite which is much closer to diamond than the cubic zirconia.The durability of the stone is one that has to be considered while you design your own engagement ring.

Pearls and opals are soft and hence they are rarely used in engagement rings. If diamond is not preferred in the engagement ring then you can consider rubies, emeralds and sapphires to add color while you design your own engagement ring.

Some people think that white gold would be a cheaper alternative. In reality the amount of gold in an 18 carat gold ring and an 18 carat white gold band is the same. The alloy that is mixed makes the difference in it.

In a 75% gold ring copper and zinc is added while in white gold silver or palladium is added. The content of gold remains the same while the alloy is different.
