Why and How to Get a Designer Engagement Ring

You have known this guy for eight months now. The relationship between you two has gone on very smoothly. He surprised you with a phone call earlier today, inviting you for dinner tonight. He is sitting beside you now at a cozy corner in your favorite restaurant. There is sweet and wonderful music on the background. It has been an enchanting evening, as moved on so magically, and you suddenly realize that the band of musicians is playing your favorite song.

As you turn your eyes towards your dinner companion, you notice that he is holding a jewelry box. Your heart starts pounding as he carefully opens the box to reveal a ring. Being a conservative guy, he stands up, walks over to you and begins to kneel on one knee in front of you.

Soon, he slips the ring into your finger while asking you for your hand in marriage. You reply “yes” straightaway and pull him into a tight embrace. While your hands are wrapped around him, you can’t help but to straighten your arm to admire your engagement ring. This is that very ring that you and he discussed about a few months ago – your exclusively designed engagement ring.

Every designer engagement ring is a work of exquisite craftsmanship – each piece is specially designed with the highest quality possible. Designer engagement rings are not produced in bulks, which means, they are not readily obtainable in a number of retail stores.

What makes a designer engagement ring unique is in the customization of a particular element of the ring – it could be a simply style ring or the mounting of a diamond on the ring. This particular manner in which the ring is designed is what distinguishes the ring from other productions, thus qualifying it to be a designer engagement ring.

Although this designer ring has its own distinctive characteristics, it may not be more costly than those you see in jewelry stores in your local mall. But because it is crafted with special thoughts of your relationship, it is filled with that special touch, and which no others have a share.

It is not always easy to find a local craftsperson to create your designer engagement ring. Despite this setback, tell yourself that it is worth every effort of it as you will eventually have a ring that represent the commitment and love that you both share.

The best approach is to find a locally-based jewelry designer. This enables you the freedom to work with the designer together with your fiancée. Moreover, you get to look into his portfolios to see the quality of his past projects.

Take the time to do some research on the designer by contacting your Better Business Bureau. Ask them questions about the jeweler’s business practices or if there is any complaint lodged against the jeweler. You may want to also contact the Jeweler Associations in your area to see if the jewelers you are considering are in good standing with these associations.

As mentioned before, the designer engagement ring may not be more costly than a ring you found in the store. However, the price may shoots up if there are additional requirements, such as placing precious stone like diamonds.

Whether you are paying more or less depends on the following factors: the setting, the metal chosen to construct the ring, the four C’s of a diamond (clarity, cut, carat and color) and the detail needed in constructing the ring. Most of all do not get distracted but to use the design that both you and your partner have earlier decided on to avoid paying more than what you really should.
