Design Your Own Engagement Ring - Customize To Symbolize Your Love

Proposing to your girlfriend, asking her to spend the rest of her life with you, should take plenty of time and energy to plan, as this is the point your life will change completely. However, you want to make sure that the ring you do it with is enough to make her burst into tears.

You want her to be able to flash it, to show it off, to anyone who will look, all the way up until your wedding day. You want a ring that will make her say yes before you even get the words out to ask her to be your wife. You want a unique ring that nobody else has and you want one that the world has never seen. For this reason, you might want to just design your own engagement ring.

When you’re designing your own engagement ring, you want to make sure that whoever you get to make your ring is capable of making the one you see in your mind. You don’t want to tell someone what you want only for them to make something completely different. Jewelry design is no easy task and so you should only go to a professional or someone with a lot of experience. Because when you get that finished ring, you will have to pay for it, more than likely, whether you like it or not.

Ask friends and family where they got their wives their engagement rings and see if anyone can recommend a good jewelry designer. When you have that jewelry designer in mind, begin paying attention to any clues she may have laid down as to what she would like her someday wedding ring to look like.

Most women will throw hints that you may not even catch. She may point out a ring in a magazine, she may even point one out on TV or on the big screen. She may even go so far as to leave magazines open around your house showing an advertisement for a ring. It will be so subtle, she’ll leave a half-eaten donut and her coffee on top of it or something, but it’s there. It’s these hints and clues that you should take to your jewelry designer.

It’s best not to go too new age as she likely has an image of what she wants and if she’s told you before, even if it’s been subtle, and you get something completely different, she may accuse you of not listening to her. It’s not a good reputation to have when you’re asking her to be your wife.

Listen for those clues, and then design your own engagement ring. You can design your own engagement ring with special messages engraved into the band or you can customize it all, from the band to the rock that’s set into it.

Just make sure that whatever you choose, it’s something she’ll like. If she truly loves you, any ring you get her will be perfect, because it came from you. But just be on the safe side, as any married man will tell you, and design your own engagement ring with hints she’s thrown you. You may have to rack your brain to remember them, but they’re there.
