It’s easier than ever before to get an engagement ring that fits your personality and your relationship. A number of jewelers offer customization these days, and customization can make the ring just what you’re looking for. If you want an engagement ring packed with meaning and significance specific to you and the one you love, you can design it that way.
When designing a custom engagement ring, use these tips to help you get exactly what you want.
Don’t Forget Your Inspiration
The point of the ring is to commemorate your relationship and your commitment to each other. As you look at rings in jewelry stores or online to get ideas of what you like and don't like, think about your partner's style preferences and lifestyle. Think about what makes your partner so special to you and what you’d like to highlight about that.
Consider Your Materials Meaning
Think about matching meaning to the metal or the type of stone you want. Colored gemstones can make a ring more unique and colorful but they also add meaning. You’ve heard that diamonds mean forever. Did you know rubies symbolize passion? Emeralds symbolize new beginnings. Blue sapphires symbolize protection. What characterizes your relationship? Your gems can reflect that. You can also, if you like, include birthstones. Birthstones can add a personal touch and are often perfect, inexpensive accent stones to a diamond or other center stone.
Yellow gold symbolizes fidelity while white gold symbolizes purity. Platinum symbolizes strength. You can have two-tone rings as well. When you put stones and metal together, you get great combinations. Platinum with a diamond and emeralds means a strong relationship characterized by a lifetime of new beginnings and love and commitment that will last forever. Make it yellow gold with sapphires and a diamond and you have a marriage that lasts forever because of underlying fidelity and loyalty protecting the couple and their relationship.
I love how symbolism can work in wedding jewelry. If you need an engagement ring in San Diego, I hope you’ll give me a call. I’m a third-generation jeweler and there’s nothing I love more than helping a couple with an engagement ring. So, reach out or just drop by the La Jolla showroom. You’ll be glad you did.
