Have you ever given any thought to designing your own engagement or wedding ring? We didn’t design my engagement ring, but we did design our wedding bands. Designing any type of jewelry from gold stud earrings, to a personalized necklace to a ring can be a lot of fun, but a little daunting. This is because there are so many options to choose from, and you want to ensure that you get the ring that she will love (or you love, if you are designing your own). Here are some tips on how to design your engagement ring, as well as where to go to get the best deals on diamonds and settings!

Thanks to technological advances, creating a custom engagement ring is now possible without even stepping into a jewelry store. Instead, you can work with a jeweler from the comfort of your own home to design the perfect ring for you and your fiancee. If you’re interested in creating a custom engagement ring, here are a few things you should know:
- Choose a diamond or gemstone for your center stone. You can work with a jeweler to find the perfect stone for your budget and style. Once you’ve found the perfect stone, you’ll need to choose a setting. There are a variety of settings to choose from, so you’ll want to work with your jeweler to find the best option for your ring.
- Decide on the metal for your ring. Gold is the most popular choice for engagement rings, but platinum and silver are also popular options.
- Design the band. You can add engravings or other details to make your ring truly unique.
If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to designing your engagement ring, there are a few resources that can help. The Blue Nile is one of the leading online jewelers. They offer a Create The Ring tool that allows you to design the perfect ring for you. If you want to read up on them, here is this Blue Nile review to put your mind at ease.

Designing Your Ring vs. Buying one
When you buy an engagement ring from a store, you are limited to the styles that the store offers. If you want something specific or unique, you may have to special order it, which can take weeks or even months. Designing your ring gives you complete control over the style, materials, and budget.
Custom engagement rings can be more expensive than buying a ring off the shelf, but they are usually worth the extra cost. You get exactly what you want and end up with a unique ring no one else has. If you’re considering designing your engagement ring, start by researching to get an idea of what you want. Then find a reputable jeweler who can help you turn your vision into reality. You can even find a wide selection of secondhand rings at a great price point. This is a great eco-friendly alternative and can keep you within your budget.
Designing your engagement ring or a wedding ring can be a lot of fun, and you’ll end up with a unique ring that is exactly what you want. Just be sure to research and find a reputable jeweler to help you create the perfect ring!
