Reasons to Custom Design Your Engagement Ring

Choosing the perfect engagement ring can be tough, but it doesn’t have to be. At Lauren B, we are known for our custom engagement ring process so that you can design the ring of your dreams with ease.


It Allows You to Stay Within Your Budget

When shopping for an engagement ring, your budget is a key factor in your final decision. It’s a common misconception that custom pieces will be more expensive, however that is not always the case. When it comes to custom design, you have complete control over the cost and can design a ring that fits your budget perfectly. 

While there are many ways to save money on an engagement ring, understanding your personal preferences is important. Knowing that your choice of center stone, setting, carat weight, and other design elements have an impact on the final cost will help ensure that you stay within your budget. For instance, choosing a lab-grown diamond over a natural diamond can significantly reduce the cost of your center stone. In similar fashion, selecting a lower carat weight or simpler setting, such as a solitaire band over a pave band, can also reduce the overall cost of your ring.


A Custom Ring Reflects Your Personal Style

The best part about creating a custom ring is that it’s uniquely yours. Creating a custom ring allows you to carefully select each design element, aligning perfectly with your personal style and preferences. From the shape and size of your center stone to the details of your setting, everything can be tailored to your liking.

While customizing your engagement ring, there are several ways to truly make it yours. You may want to consider engraving things like you and your partner’s initials on the band. For a more flashy look, you might want to opt for a halo setting that surrounds your center stone. Instead of going the traditional route and choosing a diamond, consider adding color with a gemstone such as a ruby, sapphire, or emerald. For an even more unique piece, you can also explore the possibilities of multi-stone rings, where you can mix and match different shapes and styles.

The close attention to detail will always result in an engagement ring that is truly one-of-a-kind.


Shopping Made Easier

With so many in-stock engagement rings to choose from, it can get a bit overwhelming looking for the perfect ring. If there are specific design elements you have in mind, starting from scratch might make shopping for a ring a bit easier.

Our expert design consultants are here to guide you through the journey of creating a personalized ring. However, coming prepared with a vision can help move the process along quickly. By knowing your preferences before your appointment, you’ll save some time, money, and ensure that the final product aligns perfectly with your expectations, allowing you to make your dream ring a reality.


Custom Rings Stand Out

In a world of loads of jewelry, engagement rings can start to look alike. A custom engagement ring would offer you the opportunity to stand out from the crowd and create a piece that no one else has. By choosing custom design, you’re creating a ring that combines your personality, love story, and preferences. Though engagement ring trends come and go, you’ll always have a piece of jewelry that is special to you.
