Make a Unique Engagement Ring

How to Find a Unique Engagement Ring

When you first start shopping for a unique engagement ring you will find a huge selection of ready-to-wear engagement ring options. From the finest Italian designers to the best of New York designers. There are also major retail chain stores and big-box wholesale clubs offering a good selection of mass-produced engagement rings. However, despite the name brand or the discount prices, there isn’t much about these engagement rings that are unique or meaningful.

A Meaningful Ring

Famous actress Elizabeth Taylor once said, ” Jewelry has the power to be the one little thing that makes you feel unique”. This is incredibly true when it comes to an engagement ring. Nothing is more unique than a one-of-a-kind engagement ring that is made with love. Applying your own creative taste to a design, hand-selecting the materials, and being part of the production process will make a bespoke engagement ring like no other! There are two good ways to do this.

Custom Design it

Commission a jeweler, like Joseph the Jeweler at LaProng Jewelers, and have him help you custom design a meaningful & unique engagement ring. This will be a good way to find a unique engagement ring in that was made with love and meaning. You can sketch it out on paper or provide design inspiration OR you can make it yourself in the DIY Engagement Ring Workshop. In the end, the goal is to make a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.

Talk to a Jeweler

A unique engagement ring made by you is characterized by distinctive design and personal significance. Here are some elements that will also contribute to the uniqueness of an engagement ring made by YOU:

  1. Custom Design: Working with a jeweler, you can choose the shape, style, gemstones, and metal that reflect your personal taste.
  2. One-of-a-Kind Features: Adding unique details such as an unusual gemstone, or diamond, or adding engraving inside the ring can make your engagement ring stand out as a one-of-a-kind.
  3. Unconventional Stones: Consider using non-traditional stones, such as a lab grown diamond, sapphires, or moissanite instead of a classic earth-mined diamond. This choice can give your ring a distinctive and vibrant look.
  4. Symbolic Elements: Incorporating meaningful symbols, like birthstones, initials, or motifs that represent your relationship or shared interests, adds a personal touch and makes the ring more meaningful.
  5. Vintage or Antique Style: Opting for a vintage or antique-style ring can add uniqueness by showcasing timeless designs and craftsmanship from a bygone era.
  6. Alternative Metal Choices: Explore unconventional metal choices like rose gold, yellow gold, white gold, platinum, or even mixed metals to set your ring apart.

Remember, the most important aspect of a unique engagement ring is that it reflects your personality, style, and the special connection you share with your partner.

Talk to a Jeweler

Unsure of which method will be the best way to make a meaningful engagement. Book an appointment to talk to a jeweler. After a brief 15 – 30 minute conversation it will be easy to understand which path is best for you. Understanding your desired outcome, budget, and timeline will be important.
