How to make your own engagement ring your own
The winter season is a popular time for engagements. The holidays are one of the happiest times of the year, one that many people look forward to for months. There’s a magical feeling in the air, and couples are often surrounded by cherished family and friends. All of these are reasons why so many couples decide to get engaged around the holidays.
More and more, couples are opting to infuse more of their own personalities all throughout the engagement and wedding planning and processes. This trend extends to how couples get engaged, whether they shop for the engagement ring together and the ring they choose to buy.
While the traditional diamond ring is the most popular choice for engagements, it’s not the only choice, and there are many different ways to ensure the engagement ring you choose represents you.
Get it Custom Made
If your partner has specific tastes, or you can’t find anything in the jewellery case that speaks to you, consider getting a custom made engagement ring. Some people will be happy to choose their ring from the showcase. If you pick the right store to shop at, you’ll be able to choose from a wide variety that will appeal to different styles and tastes.
However, another option is to custom design your engagement ring, a service some jewellery stores in Toronto provide. Custom jewellery is an excellent option because it allows you to make a one-of-a-kind piece designed especially for you, your partner and your commitment to one another.
Bring your ideas to an experienced jewellery designer whose work you like, and they can help design your perfect ring, made just for you.
Engrave the Band
Another option to make your engagement ring more personalized is engraving the band. This can be done whether the ring is custom made or ready-made and whether it’s a traditional ring or a more alternative option. Engraving a special something on the engagement band is a wonderful way to celebrate your love. People often choose a special date, joke or term of endearment from their relationship to further symbolize their history, present and future.
Choose a Different Stone
Diamonds are the stone of choice for engagements, but there are people who aren’t in love with them. It doesn’t make sense to get a diamond ring just because that’s what most other people do. Instead, find an alternative.
There are different ways to approach finding the right alternative stone. You can pick a sapphire for its beautiful blue colour, or choose a red ruby, which symbolizes love and passion. If you have an heirloom stone in your family that you want to use, you can do that. Or, if you don’t want something new, you can find a piece of antique jewellery and repurpose the stone into a new ring.
If you’re planning to take the next step in your relationship this holiday season, think about what you want in a ring and find a way to make it your own.
