How to create a bespoke engagement ring

You are about to make one of the most significant purchases and ask one of the most important questions of your life. Although there are thousands of stunning, ready to wear engagement rings, bespoke pieces are the way to go if you want to tie the knot with a truly unique ring. Here are some ideas on optimising your budget and designing a bespoke engagement ring.

Add coloured gemstones

To optimise your budget or make a personalised piece, explore gemstone varieties and possible combinations. You could opt for your partner's birthstone, pick a gem for its symbolism or simply choose a stone you know they would love. Rubies are known as a symbol of power and passion, while blue sapphires are a symbol of friendship and loyalty. Another way to pick the perfect gem is selecting a stone based on its appearance - something she would love for its intense colour or femininity.

Add diamonds for extra dazzle

If you are looking to create a stunning engagement ring with brilliance, we recommend a custom diamond halo engagement ring design on a diamond set band. There are many ways to incorporate diamonds into your engagement ring design. For instance, adding a peekaboo diamond bridge adds extra sparkle under certain angles. A shoulder set band or a double or triple halo setting are another way to add a little extra sparkle to your fiancee's hand. It is entirely up to you how brilliant your engagement ring design is.

Optimise your budget

Since bespoke engagement rings are entirely the customer's creation, you have control over the final price. A clever way to achieve brilliance without breaking the bank is by giving up on a single large centre diamond and replacing it with many smaller ones. Cluster engagement rings are the ultimate statement ring your other half will love to wear every day. Another way to get the best value possible is by educating yourself on all aspects of purchasing engagement rings. Understanding diamond and gemstone characteristics is crucial to making your best purchase. For more inspiration, engagement rings designs and diamond guides, visit www.stevenstone.co.uk
