Custom-made engagement rings Vs ready made
Are there any advantages to a bespoke ring?
If you are wondering what benefits there might be to commissioning a bespoke engagement ring, rather than buying off-the-shelf, ask yourself this question:
Which of these would your other half rather receive?
(1) An engagement ring that was mass-produced in a factory, by semi-skilled workers using moulds; a ring that is absolutely identical to thousands of others, out of the same mould and offered in any number of jewellers all over the country.
(2) A unique ring that was individually created, specifically for her by a highly-skilled artisan, and that you actually helped to design?
Which do you think would delight her more? Which would make her feel more special?
Proposing with a bespoke engagement ring says so much more than a mass-produced off-the-shelf ring ever could.
Designing the ring together
These days it’s not unusual for couples to go shopping together for their engagement ring.
If you decide on this route, both of you can have an input into the design.
The excitement of designing your engagement ring together adds an extra dimension to the purchase, and is a shared experience you’ll remember forever.

Platinum vs Gold for an Engagement Ring: Which Should You Choose?
If your engagement ring does not have perfectly flat sides, it probably won't fit with a straight wedding ring.
If you want to know that what you are looking at is a real diamond, you need to be aware of the other materials that it could be.
If you want to ensure that the jewellery you buy is sustainable and environmentally responsible, you need to ask questions about the sources of the materials.
