5 Reasons to Buy a Custom Engagement Ring
The folks at Whiteflash.com, and online jewelry store that offers Verragio, Ritani, Vatche rings and more, were kind enough to send us their thoughts on why you should consider buying a custom engagement ring. My own engagement ring is custom made, and I love it to pieces.
When it comes to choosing an engagement ring, the options are seemingly limitless. It’s almost overwhelming. But if you think about it, you really only have two choices: buy off the shelf or go custom.
Now there’s nothing wrong with buying a ring out of thecase at your local jewelry store or online (there are so many gorgeous designer engagement rings), but there are a few great advantages to getting a custom engagement ring.
1. She’ll get a ring that no one else has. Your bride to be is one of a kind, so give her an engagement ring that’s just as unique as she is – something in the world that nobody else has.
2. You can tailor the ring to fit her style. Every girl has her own sense of style and your significant other might not be inspired by what she sees online and in stores. Go custom and you can be sure she receives a ring that matches her style and personality. You will, of course, have to do some sleuthing if you’re planning on making the proposal and the ring a surprise.
3. You can also tailor the ring to fit your budget. This is a big one. It’s a big purchase and money matters. So when you custom design an engagement ring, you have the option select different grades of diamonds, bands and embellishments that fit into your budget.
4. You can let your creativity shine through in the design. If you’re the creative type, building a custom engagementring should be right up your alley. Work with your jeweler to create something truly unique and special.
5. You can add a personal touch to the ring. At the end of the day, it’s about taking that first step towards a lifelong commitment. Why not add a personal touch to it? Incorporate family diamonds or gemstones, engrave the ring or create something symbolic of your relationship.
It can be overwhelming, but it is exciting, especially when you can work with a jeweler who can capture your (and your future fiance’s) style and personality while working within your budget. Best of luck gents!
