A Custom Wedding Ring A Special Matrimonial Symbol Of Love

The problem with shopping in a retail jewelry store chain is that you will not find a personalized wedding ring but rather something that thousands of other people might have. If you want something original that represents your unique, loving relationship why not go for a custom wedding ring instead? You can rest assured that there are few, if any, creations like the ring you have chosen for you and your loved one for your wedding.

 Some retail jewelry store chains do offer custom wedding ring services but you have to ask about them as they typically do not advertise the fact. The big money is in jewelry that is already fashioned and ready for sale but that is not to say they would not accept a commission for designing a totally new ring for you.

 First of all, you should have an idea of what you want your custom wedding ring to look like so that there is a basic starting point. Do you have an idea of the gemstones you want to use as well as the precious metals and setting style? You should come armed with a basic plan of action so that the jeweler can work with you and let you know what is and is not feasible.

 Your custom wedding ring could also come from a jeweler's shop that accepts special commissioned pieces by local or national artisans who do not duplicate their designs and mass produce them. The internet has really opened up this avenue so you could find a custom wedding ring from a jewelry vendor half way around the world!
 If there is a school of design near your home that has a department for jewelry, you might try to commission a jeweler in training to create your custom wedding ring. With a little direction from you and a whole lot of creativity from them, you would definitely end up with a ring that is totally unique from what anyone else has.

 Advantages of Going Custom

 A custom wedding ring has several advantages beyond the fact that no one or at least very few people are going to have the same design. If you or your loved one has an allergy to specific metals or metal alloys, a custom wedding ring can ensure that you are involved in the entire process and know for a fact, the metal used is safe for the skin.

 Another reason why a custom wedding ring is a great option is if you have some loose gemstones you want to use, you could incorporate them in a new design. Perhaps you have an old-fashioned ring handed down for many generations with a beautiful stone in it. That stone could be popped out of the old setting and placed in a new one. Or, perhaps you visited a gem show and purchased a fantastic stone that you want for your own custom wedding ring. The bottom line is your ring will be something few, if any, have seen before and that makes all the difference in enjoyment and sentiment.
