Profess Your Love With Custom Engagement Jewelry In NYC

By

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 type of metal you use to make the band is very important, since your future betrothed will be wearing the ring each and every day. Go with what she generally wears or likes, as this is usually a safe bet. Some women like the classy and understated look of sterling silver or white gold, while others may prefer the more traditional yellow gold. If you want to think out of the box, consider titanium or even rose gold. Of course, you can always go luxurious and choose to make the band and settings out of platinum.

The stone is the centerpiece of any engagement ring, so it must be chosen carefully and thoughtfully. Again, you could look at what your intended generally wears and make choices based on that. A traditional white diamond is one really great way to go, but going for colorful diamonds like canary yellow or even black can add some interest. Then there are things like rubies and emeralds to give color without the cost of a diamond.

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.
