One-of-a-Kind, Custom Designed Wedding Rings
Shopping for an engagement ring is a lot like shopping for a wedding dress: You have to try on a lot of different options to figure out what you like. As you play with different styles, gemstones, and settings, you may find yourself loving specific elements of certain rings, but unable to find one that ticks all the boxes. For those with a unique vision, a custom engagement ring gives you the ability to design the ring of your dreams from start to finish.
The first thing you need to do is see what’s out there in terms of ring styles and materials. Not only is this important in helping you understand and define your style, but it helps us narrow down your design dreams which gives us a head start on making your perfect ring. So, go online and look at lots of pictures so you can get a good idea of what you like and don't like, then come sit down for your design consultation.
"When I work with custom clients we first establish a budget and any timeline goals," says Van Adams, owner of Van Adams Jewelers. "We also chat about initial design ideas to make sure that we are a good fit to work together. Then the real fun begins...designing your new ring."
While the process may seem arduous, according to Van, we've got this process down pat. "Normally, it doesn't take more than two meetings to get it right, and then we get to work," he says. "People know what they want nowadays. Plus, when you’ve been dating a long time, you don’t want it to take too long."
