Handmade custom ring

A custom ring is a unique possession that has more personal value than an “off the shelf” ring. For modern engagement rings there is now a wide choice of stone, cut, metal type and design to make the ring more unique and abreast of current tastes. The advantage of choosing a custom designed wedding ring is that not only does it reflect unique personal taste, it fits perfectly around an engagement ring.

The traditional wedding or engagement ring is usually thought of as a gold band set with diamonds. However, modern designer goldsmiths work with a variety of metals and stones, each with their own colours and properties. Platinum, white gold and palladium are a few of the alternatives to yellow gold. Choice of metal not only depends on taste in colour and reflective qualities, it depends on choice of stone. Gold and silver rings resize fairly easily because they are soft metals, but some jewellers will not size platinum rings because they are too dense and strong. The ring that fits perfectly and has no flaws is one which has been custom designed and measured to fit.

When choosing a design for a new ring it’s best to seek out a qualified professional jeweller.
