Forget about the price; it’s all about the character. The value of an engagement ring says a lot about your intentions, but it’s cosmetic. It’s a feature to boast about that doesn’t incorporate any real value.
Personality is different. A ring that’s full of your significant other’s character is something that will stand the test of time. Not only is it beautiful, like her, but it’s indicative of her as a person, and that’s unique.
The hard part is to find the perfect band that instantly makes you think of your SO. Thankfully, these cool and creative tactics are on hand to help.
Use Large Collections
For items that cost a lot of money, the rings at your disposal are often few and far between. If you can’t see a unique band in the store, then you’re out of luck. Sorry, try again later! The way around this is to use brands that are synonymous with large collections. As any Blue Nile review will highlight, Blue Nile revolutionized the market by placing diamonds directly from the wholesaler. As a result, it doesn’t need to order tons of them to make a profit, so the number it can market on its site will be larger. The bigger the collection, the greater the chance of finding an original ring!
Tweak The Setting
The setting is the part of the ring that holds the gemstone in place. It can also mean the band itself. A typical setting will be minimal and sleek so that it offsets the focal point of the ring – the diamond. However, classical may not be your SO’s MO, which means you should play around the design and style. The Knot lists ten types of trends, old and new that are ideal for every personality. Whether it’s a prong or a halo, you can match the setting to the love of your life!
Get It Engraved
Nothing adds character to an engagement better than an engraving. Actions may speak a thousand words, yet there’s no substitute for the words themselves. Plus, it only takes a sentence to remind your partner why there is nobody else in the world with which you’d rather be. Put some thought into the engraving if you want it to stand out. For example, it can be short, but it could incorporate a buzzword that only you two use or understand. Just make sure it’s suitable for public consumption!
Speak To Indie Designers
Independent suppliers often get a bad press regarding the time it takes to make a ring and the money you have to pay. Both are a little extra than usual, but that’s because the band is a one-of-a-kind, something you can’t find anywhere in the world other than your partner’s finger. Therefore, it makes sense to speak to an indie designer and see if you can negotiate over the price. They may be able to craft a unique wedding band and add an engraving for the same price of standard stone.
It’s not hard to tell which one your fiance-to-be would prefer!
