This article offers the reader useful information about the process of designing and making an engagement ring.
When you finally meet your soulmate, you and your partner will at some point, make the union official and the perfect symbol for your undying love is the engagement ring. Rather than walking into a jewellery store, work out your budget and approach a leading custom jeweller, who can take your concept and turn it into reality. If you would like to learn more about bespoke engagement rings, we outline the process below.
What Is Your Idea Of The Perfect Engagement Ring?
Prior to talking to a custom jeweller, you need to think about precious stones and metal. If diamonds are your thing, you will no doubt want to have a central sparkler, perhaps in a halo setting. Consider whether you prefer white, yellow or rose gold, or maybe you like platinum, which does not tarnish. If you already have some idea what you want the ring to look like before you talk to a custom jeweller, then he has something to work with.
Choosing A Custom Jeweller
Now that you have a vision in your mind, search online for a craftsman that produces unique sapphire rings for women and make an appointment to share a Zoom call when you can discuss the many options. An informal chat would likely lead to some form of design and once the jewellery maker has the information he needs, he can create a 3D image for your approval.
Acquiring Gemstones
Whether diamonds, emeralds, rubies or sapphires, the custom jeweller has access to the wholesale gemstone market and can source the best quality stones on your behalf. The next step is to choose the cut of the gemstones – something the jeweller can advise you about. Once the custom jeweller knows your budget, he can show you gemstones that are within your price range and help you choose the right stones.
Approving The Ring Design
The design might be passed back and forth with some minor changes and when the client is happy with the design, a price is quoted. The jeweller gives you a date when the piece will be ready for inspection, and then he can get to work doing what he does best – hand-crafting exquisite jewellery. Using state-of-the-art graphics software, the jeweller can create hi-res 3D images of the ring, so you can experience every aspect of the ring before it is made.
Viewing The Finished Engagement Ring
Once the engagement ring is finished, the jeweller will invite you to the studio for a viewing, when you try on the ring to check the fit and if everything is to your liking, you can settle the account and the jeweller packages the ring, along with GIA certificates for all gemstones.
Book a table at your favourite restaurant and get ready to present the ring to your soulmate. Then you can start preparing for your wedding. Many couples prefer to have matching wedding bands and you can commission the custom jeweller to create matching wedding bands when the time is right.
