By Guest Author on Mar 8, 2009 in Wedding
You want your engagement to go perfectly and you want it to be different and unique. You want your bride to be to be proud of her engagement ring and not have it look like all other engagement rings. You should choose a vintage engagement ring setting.
This evokes memories of a bygone age where marriage was considered for life no matter what. Thats how marriage is supposed to be and you can add that special touch, and that unique look, by having your ring specially designed using antique engagement ring designs as a model.
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. Next, all you have to do is propose!
Jewelers
Finding a jeweler who is able to create your perfect ring is your next task. If one jeweler you contact can't help you I am sure they will be able to recommend someone who can as jewelers work together in a network.
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.
However, this cost is worth it as it will only make the occasion that much more special.
The One-Off Design
Narrowing down your choice of antique engagement ring settings is your next decision now you have found your jeweler.
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.
If you want to make your ring totally unique you could possibly incorporate various different design into one ring.
Once you have your ring make sure you request the mold from the jeweler. You have gone to a lot of trouble to make sure this ring is a totally unique antique engagement ring design, you would hate to think the mold would be used again and your ring would not be original.
