What to Know Before you Begin

When shopping for a ring, you probably have some general ideas about what you want. You might know that you want a specific cut or color of the diamond, or maybe you've got a few different metals in mind. Perhaps you've even got a particular design in mind.

But if none of those things are set in stone, then custom engagement rings could be the way to go. Custom-made rings are precisely what they sound like: they're made specifically for one person and no one else. And when it comes to engagement rings, it's important to remember that every detail mattersā€”and every detail can be customized.

So whether it's the diamond that matters most to you or the metal setting, we can help ensure your dream ring becomes a reality!

Diamonds

Diamonds are a girl's best friend and are the perfect way to tell your special someone that you're ready to spend the rest of your life with them. Custom made engagement rings are a fantastic option if you're looking for a unique engagement ring to make your loved one feel special.

When it comes to customizing your ring, there are many things you should consider. You first need to decide the type of ring you want to purchase. The diamond's cut will dictate the type of settings you can choose. A round-cut diamond is the most common type, but if you want something more unique, other options are availableā€”like princess cuts or emerald cuts.

You should also consider what type of metal would work best for your style and budgetā€”whether platinum, gold, silver, or even palladium (similar to platinum). And then there's color! Diamonds come in a variety of colors will match perfectly with any outfit or occasion.

The Four C's of Diamonds - Cut, Carat, Color, and Clarity

Cut, Carat, Color, and Clarity (aka the 4 C's) are the main characteristics that determine the value of a diamond and its appearance. These characteristics are fundamental to knowing when you're looking for an engagement ring.

You can find much information about diamond cut, quality, colors, metals, and general tips for customizing the engagement ring.

Every custom made engagement ring is unique, and it is essential to understand how each aspect will affect the overall quality of your ring.

Diamond-Cut

Diamonds come in many different cuts. The most popular cuts are round brilliant and princess cuts. Round brilliant is the most popular because it reflects light from all angles. Princess cuts are similar to round brilliants but have more facets, making them sparkle much more than round brilliants. There are other types of cuts, such as: emerald cut, marquise cut, pear-shaped, etc. These types of cuts, however, will be much more expensive than the round brilliant or princess cuts because they reflect light differently making them highly sought after.

The Carat Weight

Carat weight is the measurement unit representing a diamond's mass. It is calculated by dividing the total weight of the diamond by its volume. Since diamonds are not uniform in shape or size, this measurement is used to compare one diamond to another more consistently.

Each carat is divided into 100 points, and each point represents 0.01 carat (100 points = 1 carat). For example, a diamond with a mass of 6.00 grams has a carat weight of 600 points (600 x 100).

Carat weight can be significant when choosing an engagement ring because it indicates how much you will have to pay for your stone and how large it will appear on your finger. The larger the stone, the more expensive it will be per point.

That being said, if you want something that looks deceptively large without the higher price tag, you may want to choose a smaller stone with a lower carat weight. In contrast, you could splurge on an expensive stone that will need higher-quality materials and end up with a smaller overall appearance (such as marquise cuts).

The Color of a Diamond

When you're looking for a diamond ring, you want it to be perfect. The diamond's color is an essential factor in determining its value and beauty. Here's what you need to know about diamonds and their colors:

  • White Diamonds: These are the most common type of diamonds, and they're also the rarest. They will appear white or near-white when held up against the light.
  • Yellow Diamonds: These diamonds have yellowish tints ranging from soft yellow to deep gold. Yellow diamonds are prized for their striking appearance and ability to enhance other colors in an engagement ring setting.
  • Pink Diamonds: These gems have pinkish tints that range from pale pink to deep red. They're often used as accent stones because they tend not to be as bright as other types of diamonds.

Diamonds come in a variety of colors, from clear all the way up to yellowish-brown. The most popular and sought-after color is white because it looks clean and bright against any skin tone. However, consider pink or even blue if you're looking for something special for your engagement ring.

The Clarity of a Diamond

When shopping for an engagement ring, one of the most important things to consider is the clarity of the diamond. The clarity of a diamond refers to how flawless it is. The fewer visible inclusions (or flaws) in your stone, the better its clarity.

If you're looking for a diamond that will stand out in your engagement ring, you'll want one with high clarity. The best way to decide what type of diamond works for you is by looking at the diamond's color and fluorescence under magnification.Ā 

The higher the value assigned by GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or AGS (American Gem Society) for color and fluorescence, the more desirable a diamond will be.

However, if you want something more unique or unusual in your engagement ring, lower clarity diamonds may be right up your alley!

The Setting and Metal for a Ring

The setting and metal for a ring are often the first things you look at when choosing a ring. The setting is an integral part of the ring and should hold the gemstone(s) securely in place. The metal refers to the type of material used to make the band and prongs. When choosing an engagement ring, it's essential to know that many different kinds of settings and metals are available on the market today.

One type of setting is called a prong setting. This type can be seen on most engagement rings. Prong settings have four or six prongs securely holding each side of the diamond. They are often made of platinum or white gold because they are durable and easier to clean than yellow gold or silver.

Another type of setting is called channel setting. This setting contains grooves cut into its surface so that the diamond sits snugly in the channel. A good channel setting will hold the stone without allowing any slipping of the stone, even when worn throughout your everyday tasks. Many people save their custom engagement rings as a way to preserve a piece of their stories for future generations. That would be impossible if your setting fails.

Figure Out Your Partner's Style

Customizing an engagement ring is one of the most memorable parts of the process. It's an opportunity to make a unique and personal ring to you and your partner's style.

The first step is figuring out what type of ring your partner likes to wear. If you have trouble finding this information, don't hesitate to ask them! Most people will be happy to tell you about their style preferences, which will help you pick out something they love.

Once you know what kind of ring would look best on your partner's finger, start looking at different styles and designs until you find one that speaks to both of your hearts. If they want something in particular, such as diamonds or emeralds, make sure that these are included in your design!

Set a Budget Before you Begin Shopping

Before you begin shopping for a custom made engagement ring, set a budget. This will help you narrow your search to rings within your price range.

You should also ensure that you are clear on the style of ring that you want before going to a jeweler. A jewelry store can help guide you through all of the options available.

A good rule of thumb is to have readily available photos of rings you may have seen that you like or like portions of. This will give the jeweler designing your custom made engagement ring an idea of the look and feel you're going for in your finished product.

And finally, there are many different types of cut diamonds available on the market today. The cut is one of the essential factors in determining how much money your partner will spend on their engagement ring because it affects how much sparkle and fires the diamond has when it reflects light back at you! You should choose a cut appropriate for your budget so that both parties are happy with the final result!

Add Personal Touches Like Initials and Fingerprints

Engagement rings are a memorable and meaningful part of your wedding day. They should reflect your relationship and personality, so it's essential to choose the one you love! If you're looking for something truly unique, custom made engagement rings are a great option. Here are some tips for customizing the engagement ring.

Add personal touches like initials and fingerprints. You can use these to make a personalized design or add them to a pre-made ring. Some jewelers will even allow you to customize your ring's setting so it fits in with your style and budget.

Find inspiration from other jewelry pieces in your life (such as an existing necklace or bracelet) or nature (like flowers or plants). Your options are endless when it comes to finding inspiration for your new piece of jewelry!

Make Sure you Have a Trusted Jeweler Assisting you Throughout the Process

Custom made engagement rings are an excellent way to express yourself and your love for the person you are planning to marry.
