If you can’t decide on a specific engagement ring, then it’s time that you consider custom jewellery.
When you’re searching for engagement rings, there are usually two stages people go through. The first is joy: you’re about to get married and this ring is a huge symbol of that commitment. The second is stress because it’s hard finding the style you want to wear for the rest of your life. If you’re in that second stage, and you feel like you’ve exhausted all of your possibilities, Custom-made estate jewellery might be just what you’re looking for.
Vintage vs. Modern Rings
Modern jewellery is precision cut, so the piece looks perfect every time. Those who have an eye for estate or vintage jewellery might argue these pieces look too perfect. Some of the handmade imperfections in art deco rings, for instance, are the source of their unique charm. You can tell manufacturer signatures over time if you’ve seen enough jewellery.
Custom jewellery is completely designed from scratch, so the ring you’re purchasing might have had deep sentimental value to someone who painstakingly crafted the design. You’ll wear a unique piece, not just a shiny accessory.
However, modern rings aren’t completely without merit. Modern rings can be useful when you’re searching for something to replace a lost ring. You can browse a jewellery shop like Cynthia Findlay Antiques, and while you’ll find many curious and exotic pieces you’re not going to find the exact ring your grandmother was buried with. In those situations, a custom-cut ring can be your only solution.
Regardless of your vision, whether it be adding your own flair to some vintage engagement rings or enhancing the look of a worn memento, custom jewellery is the ultimate way to stamp your own personality onto a special gift, collector’s item, or surprise.
