Most couples, who are just engaged, look out for unique diamond rings to commemorate the occasion. The choice of the ring obviously rests on the budget, but sometimes it is possible to pick up something which is of special significance to the couple. It could be bought in a town that has special memories for them, or has a personal engraving.
It could be bought on the first trip they take as a couple after they get engaged, which would make it a special and unique ring for them. A trip abroad, particularly to India, or any other country known for its fine jewelry, would give them a choice of many unique diamond rings – certainly not what they would see in their local jeweler’s store.
There are several jewelers who will make unique diamond rings to order. One has to create designs for them, and their craftsmen will work on them. The bride may be artistic, or the couple may have a friend who is good at designing; it is then possible to give the jewelers a design for a personalized ring.
Unique diamond rings could incorporate the couple’s initials entwined together. There may be old family gems that could be included in the design, to make a very special ring.
A clever idea is to include the couple’s birthstones too in the design. It would call for a lot of ingenuity to make it look good together, but it would certainly mean an unusual ring. These may cost more than rings that are readily available, but they would be unique diamond rings, specially made for and designed by the wearer.
Some designs for unique diamond rings make the stones look much bigger than they are, by having a cluster of tiny diamonds around a larger one. Other designs may have special settings to give the diamonds a more open look. In case this sounds confusing, there is a step by step method of accomplishing this
Design Unique Diamond Rings Online
Many jewelers now have websites and online catalogs. Others go a step furthers and help their clients design unique diamond rings online. It is a five step procedure, which begins with the choice of shape of the diamond. There are over seven types, ranging from brilliant cut and princess, to marquise, pear and oval. One can choose between round, emerald cut, and heart shaped too. Once the choice of shape has been made, one can choose the setting or mount. Each shape has a choice of several mounts that suit it.
One then moves on to choice of metal: yellow gold, or white gold of different carats, or platinum. The next step is to determine the ring size, after which one chooses the diamond. This is based on cut, carat, color, and clarity. The website gives a costing for the choice, and one can then proceed with the purchase!
