How to Design Your Dream Engagement Ring

Designing your dream engagement ring will allow you to express love in a unique way. Before you can envision your dream engagement ring, you will need to get to know a multitude of engagement ring styles to understand what you like and what you don’t like. Custom engagement ring designs enable you to bring your unique vision to life through a start-to-finish design process.

Personalised engagement ring designs allow you to choose your dream colour, shape, cut and clarity. In addition, you’ll have full control over the quality of the engagement ring, making sure that the finished ring tells the love story you have in mind.

What Goes Into Designing Your Dream Engagement Ring?

When designing your dream engagement ring, you will need to make a few different decisions, including: 

• Choosing the centre stone, either a particular diamond or gemstone
• Choosing the cut, clarity, colour and carat weight
• Sticking within your maximum budget

Before speaking with your jewellery designer you should have browsed a range of different ring styles and made a list of your personal preferences ready to discuss in depth with your designer.

Where To Begin in the Design Process?

Once you have had your first initial chat with the designer, they will offer you some design drawings to bring your vision to life. Depending on how long it takes to get the design perfect, creating your own custom engagement ring design can take anywhere from two weeks to a few months. Once you’re happy with the engagement ring design, the designer can begin finding the stone and making the ring.

Tips To Create The Perfect Engagement Ring For You

The main route to success when designing a custom engagement ring is to have a clear vision of what you are after, whilst also allowing your designer to offer suggestions to help bring your vision to life. 

Firstly, it is important to have chosen a diamond or gemstone shape. Engagement ring centre stones come in a multitude of different shapes, from the classic round shape to more unique shapes such as princess cut and pear. This tends to be the first thing someone will notice when looking at the ring, so it is a decision worth having some good thought over. 

On top of this, you should choose the carat weight, as this will impact the ring’s appearance and cost. The three C’s play a pivotal role in the appearance of your engagement ring. These three Cs are cut, clarity and colour. Think carefully about each of these and how your personal preference will impact the finished ring design. 

Another vital component to designing an engagement ring is to know your fiancé-to-be’s ring size. Personalised engagement ring designs are useless if the ring does not fit!
