Profess Your Love With Custom Engagement Jewelry In NYC

By Letitia Connell


There are many ways to tell someone just how much you love them, and arguably the biggest one is to marry them. Most traditional marriages include some kind of engagement ring, and eventually a wedding band on the day of the ceremony. You could buy a mass market set of bands, or design your own. Making your own custom engagement rings in NYC lets you get a unique set that you will always be able to treasure.

Once you have made up your mind that you are going to design a custom ring, you can take one of two paths to fulfilling this goal. The first is to sketch out your idea on paper, making what is essentially a rough draft of the final look. If you only have an inkling of an idea, your jeweler can give you ideas for a completed look so that you get a unique piece that only she will have.

Another route to go is to make the ring yourself, using your own two hands. Of course, most people don't have the equipment or experience, but you can sign up for classes, if available. This is a big commitment of time, since it will likely take several sessions to learn and do the actual crafting. You can always just design the ring though, and leave it to the jeweler to make.

The general look of the ring is just the first step in what will become several decisions. After you have the shape and overall look down, it's time to decide on the details, such as the material you will use for the band. If your intended loves gold, then that is likely what you should go with. There are many metals that look great as an engagement ring, of course. Platinum is very high-end and shiny, while sterling silver or white gold have a more classic and simple look. You could even try rose gold or another nontraditional metal for a change of pace.

When people look at your intended engagement ring, the first thing they are going to look at is the stone, so you should choose it wisely. You can never go wrong with a nice white diamond, as this is classic and timeless in look. But if she loves things that are a little different, considering going with a colored diamond, like black or pink. Then there are emeralds and rubies among other precious stones.

Then there is the size of the band, along with the thickness. Traditionally, and engagement ring is paired with a wedding band that matches it. If you go too thick, the actual wedding band may not fit properly, so keep this in mind when choosing.

In your desire to get the engagement ring done, you may overlook the groom's ring. Since it generally matches the bridal ring, this is something you should think about at this stage as well. Think about thickness, stones and other possible choices.

Finally, you can have any one of these rings inscribed to make it extra special. Usually this is done on the inside of the band, so only the two of you know it's there. Initials, a special message or a simple I Love You are all things you can get inscribed.
