Dream design: 3 must-read tips for the perfect custom engagement ring
- Written by NewsServices.com
You know it and we definitely know it: your engagement ring is important. It is the band that promises your hand in marriage, your unbridled dedication and commitment to stand by your significant other, or “SO”.
No pressure, but with that in mind, you really want it to be a good one. Why? Because presenting your SO with a design that really doesn’t represent them in any way shows that:
-
You put little consideration into your choice, and;
-
You haven’t thought about what your SO would love.
But we know that this won’t be the case, especially if you’re considering the most beautiful custom engagement rings Sydney could possibly offer!
Custom bands are the ultimate way to show your SO that you know what they love and are prepared to provide that for them (we’re not just talking about the band itself here).
But there are always some handy tips you can take on board to design the perfect custom ring for them, and these include:
-
Doing your research
Rule numero uno for designing your SO’s band: do your research! Even the most attentive and discerning partners can still falter on the custom design, and this is undertable, as after all, it’s not every day your SO has an engagement ring on their finger!
There are a few cheeky ways you can do this, including:
-
Check their Pinterest board to see if there are any designs they clearly love on the platform;
-
Ask their friends what they think they would like: their besties might have a better idea of what kind of style they would go for, and if they don’t they could always do a little subtle inquiring (given that they are subtle people, of course - you don’t want them asking, ‘so what kind of custom ring do you want “YOUR NAME HERE” to get you?’);
-
Ask the jeweller: custom makers have a lot of industry experience, and they can certainly produce stunning designs based on things like personality traits and your partner’s IG, for example. They would always run the design by you to ensure that you think it’s perfect for your SO - a design which you can even show your SO’s mares if necessary.
2. Start a Pinterest board with your SO
This will only really work if the discussion of marriage is no stranger to your relationship. After all, you don’t want to ask your SO to make an engagement ring-themed Pinterest board if they have absolutely no idea you are planning to pop the question - it could spoil the surprise long before it happens!
So, if your SO has already mentioned the thought of something round and engagement-y, there is no harm in starting a Pinterest board that can then be shown to your designer.
This will give your designer the ultimate idea of your SO’s dream band, and will take a lot of the pressure off you to come up with the perfect brief yourself!
3. Get going early!
At the end of the day, the more time you allot to briefing the perfect custom engagement ring, the more likely it will be that you will create the perfect brief. The more time you utilise, the more time there is to be sure of all the specs, the style, any particulars that could really make the perfect ring, and allows you extra time to budget for the dream band!
This is a super exciting time, and we can guarantee that with a little work put in, you are sure to create the band that your SO will adore.
