When you propose you want it to be totally unique, original and special. You don’t want anything to go wrong. You don’t want your wife to be to show off her engagement ring and have it look like every other ring on all the other engaged women’s fingers. Having a vintage engagement ring setting evokes memories of a romantic time and strong feelings of how important marriage is. If were honest that is what many of us consider marriage to be about. By choosing an antique engagement ring design you are reinforcing this belief and commitment. First, you’ll have to find a jeweler who will be able to mold your ring into that special antique engagement ring design. Then, you’ll have to figure out how you want it to look. Then, all you’ll have to do is propose.
Finding a Jeweler
Finding a jeweler who is able to create your perfect ring is your next task. You could have to search through a few jewelers before you find one who can design your ring from a selection of antique engagement ring settings. Often jewelers work together in networks, so if one can’t help you they can usually recommend one that can. One thing to note is that a specially designed ring will be more expensive that if your purchased a ring that was already available from a shop. It’s worth it though when you finally get the antique engagement ring design you’re looking for because you know it will be one of a kind and that adds a great touch to your engagement and wedding.
One Off Design
Once you find your jeweler, you then have to decide which antique engagement ring settings you like. Your grandmother’s or great grandmother’s engagement ring can be a good place to start when looking for your design. Or, you could look through old photo albums or look up pictures on the Internet of old wedding ring designs and kind of base your ring design off of those. Incorporating several different designs into one design can be a great way to make your ring totally unique. Make sure, though, that if you have a jeweler specially make your ring and you find the vintage engagement ring setting you’re looking for, ask the jeweler to destroy the mold so that you’ll know your wife will be the only one carrying that ring on her finger.
