3 Ways to Personalize your Engagement Ring
Every bride wants their engagement ring and wedding to be one of a kind, but is there really such a thing as an original concept when it comes to engagement ring designs? Advancements in modern custom jewelry design, such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) and state-of-the-art milling machines and 3D printers, have made it possible for practically anybody to offer custom jewelry design and fabrication services, and extremely easy for jewelers to custom create rings for their clients that look very similar to the designs offered by other jewelers and jewelry designers… thus one of the best ways to ensure that your engagement ring is truly unique and one of a kind, is to personalize it in the following ways:
1. Mix and match center stone and accent diamond shapes:
Imagine that one of your best friends has a Brian Gavin Signature round diamond that is set in a halo setting from Brian Gavin that you just love… Halo settings are extremely popular right now, and you’d love to have a halo set diamond engagement ring, but you don’t want to look like you’re copying your best friend’s engagement ring.
Thankfully Brian Gavin offers an extensive selection of engagement rings and it features halo settings in a variety of design concepts that make it possible for you to order a halo setting which is unique, but your ring would be even more different if you were to select a Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamond as the center stone, because the shape is relatively new, we just introduced it last year!
2. Make your ring unique with Rose Gold or another alloy:
The majority of diamond engagement rings are made of white metals such as palladium, platinum, or white gold at the moment, with a smaller percentage of rings being made of yellow gold, but engagement rings made of rose gold, AKA pink gold, are rising in popularity because it is an easy way to make practically any ring design unique. Just look at how stunning this 18k Rose Gold halo setting from Brian Gavin looks! The contrast between the pink gold and the bright white diamonds is simply amazing, and the rose gold makes the ring unique without incurring any custom design costs. Changing the alloy that a ring is made out of, is an easy and cost effective way to customize any ring design!
3. Add a Splash of Color to customize any ring:
The majority of diamond engagement ring designs consist of a diamond center stone, accent diamonds, and a ring which is designed in either palladium, platinum, rose gold, white gold, or yellow gold; very few engagement rings feature color and thus one of the easiest ways to make your ring unique is to use colored gems to add a splash of color.
The Split Halo setting from Brian Gavin that is pictured to the left was customized by setting an electric blue sapphire as the center stone, the contrast between the blue sapphire and the white diamonds is absolutely stunning! The effect could have been reversed by using sapphire accent stones.
We also could have further customized the ring by alternating the accent stones with sapphires and diamonds… As you can see, the custom jewelry division of Brian Gavin Diamonds is capable of custom designing an engagement ring using practically any shape center stone and combination of accent diamonds that you desire, just imagine the possibilities!
