If you are getting married to your special someone, a standard wedding ring that you can purchase from even the most renowned jewellery store might not make the cut. You want to have something extra special for your special someone. You can wow your soon to be wife with a custom wedding ring design. Instead of simply picking a ring out of a stack of wedding rings you will let her know that you put time and effort into creating this custom design for her ring. This even works for wedding ring sets as you can make custom matching rings. Here are some ideas to get you started with your custom ring design.
The Elements of Design
The first choice to be made will be the metal to be used in the ring. Generally, wedding rings are made from gold, silver or platinum. It is possible to design a ring using different shades of gold. Yellow, white and rose gold are available. Platinum is known for its durability, it is a harder metal than gold. Some people chose sterling silver, as silver is less likely to cause allergic reactions. If you intend to wear the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger, it is best to chose the same metal for both rings. You can chose the same design or different designs for the man and the woman’s ring.
Accent Stones
If you have made the choice to design your own wedding rings, you will not want a plain gold band. You can chose the finish on the metal, shiny or brushed, and you can opt to have a design carved into the band. Native American wedding bands often feature tri colored gold with roses and leaves carved into the metal. You can also opt to have accent stones set into the band. Chose the accents stones with the engagement ring in mind. If your engagement ring features a white diamond solitaire you can chose from almost any precious stone. If you have chosen a non traditional stone for your engagement, like a sapphire, you should probably stick with the same stones for your wedding ring. If you chose not to have an engagement ring, you can make a real design statement with your wedding band using a combination of diamonds and your birth stone. You can also use a wider band for your wedding ring.
Whatever you do, you will be happy to know that your future wife will appreciate the hard work you put into making the custom wedding ring for her.
