How To Design Custom Engagement Jewelry In NYC

By Letitia Connell


Romantic stories and poems tell many a tale of true love, and many of those stories end in marriage for the happy couple. That means buying an engagement ring for your intended. If you truly want to make the proposal special, it helps to design your own bespoke engagement jewelry in Manhattan. This allows you to control exactly how it looks and avoid your loved one having the same ring as everyone else, since it a one of a kind piece.

There are two ways to go about this endeavor. You can design your own ring and have someone make it for you. Any good custom jeweler can take your rough sketch, and, after asking a few questions, make the ring that you desire. You can even collaborate, allowing them to use your ideas as a jumping off point to make something similar yet better.

The other way is to take a series of classes so that by the end of the sessions, you can make the ring yourself. This is much more complicated, it involves paying for several classes and finding the time to attend them all. If you cannot make that long of a time commitment, then hiring a professional to do the actual crafting of the ring is a fantastic alternative.

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.

You should also remember that the groom's ring should match the bride's, so select a band thickness for that as well. You may or may not want stones or other embellishments on the groom's band, so those choices should be made as well.

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.
