8 Custom Engagement Rings That Will Make Your Proposal Memorable
Here is the thing: Every committed relationship and the love shared between both parties is unique. To commemorate this, you should find an engagement ring that can perfectly represent that special love. Moreover, it should also fit the finger that will wear it, because it is meant to last a lifetime.
What that ideal custom engagement ring will look like will vary from couple to couple. Most of the time, the perfect ring is made by choosing and combining individual elements, such the gemstones (and their unique shape and size) with the band style and setting. This can lead to countless unique combinations.
To make it even more special, some may even add romantic engravings.
However, if you are stuck on what your unique engagement ring should look like, here are 7 customized rings we have made to provide some inspiration.
1. Three-stone Ring
The timeless Three-stone ring design is symbolic of the couple’s past, present, and future. The center stone, traditionally the largest of the trio, symbolizes the couple’s present whereas the two stones each represent their history and future. The choice of gems can vary from ring to ring and you can even pair diamonds and coloured gemstones in one design for a unique look.
This symbolism evokes images, memories, and emotions for many couples because having the stages of their love story woven into their custom proposal rings makes the final ring even more memorable and meaningful.
Choosing this ring style is the ideal opportunity to reflect on the unforgettable moments that you have shared in the past, the love you now share in the present, and the strong bond of love that will always be between you in the future.
2. Teal Hexagon Cluster Ring
This unique ring is representative of a cluster design which combines different gems to create an unexpected result.
In the center of this ring is a custom cut Teal Sapphire in a non-traditional Hexagon shape. The gems clustered around it represent the different birthstones of the wearer’s family, adding a special layer of meaning to the design and giving you ample room for customization.
In this case, the color teal is significant because it represents the endless sea and sky in Tibetan Buddhist tradition. You can see it as showing the bride how your love is endless.
This style suits a significant other who desires something one-of-a-kind and prefers a vintage aesthetic with a modern touch.
3. Teal Milgrain Bezel Ring
Often seen as intricate detailing across the edges of a piece, milgrain (French for “thousand grains”) is a traditional metalworking technique where tiny metal beads are created to accentuate certain parts of a design. This imparts an antique and vintage feel to a ring, especially when paired with a bezel setting as you see here, which holds the gemstone securely while showing off its beauty.
The skilled craftsmanship and precise work needed to execute this design makes it a special choice for the sentimental bride.
4. Green Tourmaline Ring
The word “tourmaline” is derived from the Sinhalese word turamali, “stone of mixed color.” Hence, as a gemstone for an engagement ring, it suits a woman with a colorful fashion sense or personality.
In particular, the Green tourmaline in this unique design represents the many wonders in life and the gifts that it can provide. Since the stone also carries protection and purification energy, it serves as a reminder that you will always be by her side in spirit.
5. Bellerose Morganite Pear Ring
Reminiscent of Pink Diamonds, Morganite is a gorgeous alternative to feature in your ring if your significant other loves pink.. Not only is it a stunning gem, it is also known to be the gemstone of divine love and compassion.
Morganite engagement rings tend to feel warm, feminine, and distinctive, drawing the wearer to an abundance of love. Furthermore, when cut in this rare Pear shape, it is the ideal silhouette to represent the unique style of its wearer.
The bonus of owning a Morganite is that its color goes well with many skin tones and pairs beautifully with Rose gold for a romantic feeling that’s one-of-a-kind.
6. Hidden Halo Ring
If you are looking for a ring that surprises from different angles, the Hidden Halo ring is right up your alley.
From the top view, it may look like a regular Solitaire or Pavé engagement ring. When thoughtfully customized, the hidden pavé diamonds underneath the centre stone provide a dash of unexpected sparkle, making this design stunning from every angle. This can show your significant other that you appreciate all sides of her, not just the ones that are obvious to others.
7. Snowflake Ring
The inspiration behind this ring lies in the idea that no two snowflakes are the same, just like how every woman has her own distinctive personality and style.
Delicate details are the focus here as we combine intricate milgrain goldwork with the stunning sparkle of classic Round diamonds. Women who love the dainty look and who appreciate the significance behind the little things in life will surely love this design.
8. Salt & Pepper Diamond Ring
Destined for a bride with extra flair and personality, the Salt & Pepper diamond ring has a unique charm that is fast winning the hearts of women all around the world.
The term ‘salt and pepper’ refers to the look of this diamond that features a mix of dark and icy inclusions which can sometimes create an unexpected speckled look akin to the spots on a Dalmation.
The symbolic meaning behind it is a worthy one - to celebrate the beauty in our flaws and recognize that these unique characteristics are what make our love special.
