Wedding Ring Design Guide
Your wedding ring is one of the most important parts of the ceremony. Designing your own wedding ring can make it even more special, but also opens up the chance of it being a complete disaster! Don’t worry though, wedding rings are generally fairly easy to design.
The first thing you should do is set a strict budget. This is vitally important as it’s very difficult to start designing a wedding ring when you don’t have an idea of how much you can spend. If you want a jeweller to create a unique ring for you it will probably cost more because of the extra labour cost, so make sure you take that into account.
Your wedding ring must match or complement the engagement ring. In most cases getting the same colour as the engagement ring is the easiest option. If you go for a simple band then this makes it easy to design a ring, but if you want a more complicated design with diamonds or other gems then you must make sure they don’t clash with the engagement ring as they’ll be worn on the same finger.
Next, you need to work out which gems or jewels you would like in the design of your ring. This is often where the cost will be increased greatly! If you deicde on getting a diamond (which most women do), you need to work out which carat you’d like. Of course carat diamond is more desirable, but only if you can afford it.
Finally, always make sure that your partner likes the design before sending it the made. This will avoid disappointment on the day, and even if your partner doesn’t like it often a few simple changes made with their advice can make all the difference. A surprise isn’t always the best idea on a wedding day as they are prone to going wrong!
