It does not matter whether you want to surprise her at the proposal or shop together for the perfect engagement ring, at some point you will have a very clear idea of what you are looking for. This could be mostly her ideas of course, but do not be surprised if you start to get a real idea of the type of ring you want to gift her. At this stage, why not add the personal touch to the ring that you both hope will symbolise a lifelong intention. Why not design your own?

Here are five reasons why you should.

1 Individually Tailored
When you design an engagement ring, you can tailor it completely to her individual taste. So, if your fiancee would prefer the central stone in her ring to be a pearl, opal, peridot or some other gemstone, rather than the traditional diamond, she can have it. And you can specify which mounting you would like and whether you would prefer yellow, rose or white gold, or even platinum; whatever you want to create her dream ring.

2 Originality
The ring you build will be totally unique. No-one else will have exactly the same ring. And THAT will definitely make her feel very special, if not like an A-list celebrity!

3 Lifetime Investment
Apart from a mortgage and a car, a diamond engagement ring is probably the most expensive single item most men ever buy. It is more than just a ring. It is something that a granddaughter might wear herself, or a grandson might employ when he proposes. Designing it yourself makes it even more likely it will become a cherished heirloom for future generations.

4 Increased Sentiment
Creating the design for her ring and choosing which loose stones should be set into it makes everything personal, and she will treasure her ring even more. So even if her best friend turns up with a huge rock of a shop bought diamond engagement ring, your fiancee will still be happy that hers is much nicer.

5 Time Spent = Brownie points
When you design a ring, you put thought, effort and time into buying it. Do not underestimate just how much she will appreciate this fact. It is important because most men would rather visit the dentist than go shopping for jewelry! You are showing her just how seriously you take your future together. She will remember this romantic gesture, which will reap dividends later!

Designing her engagement ring, whether on your own, or together as a couple, makes it extra special for her. And who doesn’t want that for their bride?
