Walking into a high street jewellery store and buying a ring off the shelf has become very unappealing to most when it comes time to getting down on one knee and asking their future wives to marry them. Bespoke engagement rings are increasing in popularity with couples choosing unique and original rings over the traditional engagement ring.

First, it's important to remember that diamonds are the traditional and classic choice made when it comes to an engagement ring. Diamonds are traditional, but there are more options than you may be aware of, over and above the traditional diamond engagement ring, such as natural diamonds, for example, which are lower in price and unique.

Bold and bright stones are also increasing in popularity. Blue is often the preferred choice, but some prefer a rainbow of colours. Some women choose their engagement ring based on their birthstone or a mix of their birthstone and their future husbands birthstone. Sapphires, rubies and emeralds are increasing in popularity when it comes to the bespoke engagement ring design.

Once you have looked closely at the range of different stones ...
... available to create your bespoke engagement ring, it is important to choose the head. The head is what will hold your stone in place on your ring, showcasing it for all to see. The solitaire design offers more diversity with prongs and claws. Claws have up to eight prongs, which are carefully and evenly spaced, holding the stone in place, this is a very timeless style. Halo engagement rings, on the other hand, provide you with the opportunity to use a larger stone. This is the ideal choice for that vintage look.

The shape of the gemstone is a defining feature. You would have already chosen your stone, but this will now impact the style of the ring, along with its characteristics. This is your chance to get personal. You may have a brilliant-cut diamond, designed to sparkle, which uses symmetrical facets, which encourage light reflection. Step cut is styled with parallel facets, which ensures the clarity of the stone is noticed, over the sparkle. There are oval shapes, heart shapes, square and cushion cut engagement rings. Choose the one that best suits your personality and relationship.

The colour of the metal you choose is a big deciding feature, even though the stone you have selected will take centre stage. The metal that surrounds the ring is important and there are usually three contrasting tones you can make your selection from. There are silver hues, such as white gold and platinum, there are pink tones in rose gold and then there is yellow gold. The tone you choose should complement your centre stone.

In addition to this, you need to choose the band. Who said you have to have a plain band? You can add diamonds to your band, adding some additional sparkle, though this should be based on the style of the stone setting. Some settings are specifically designed to ensure maximum light reaches the stone. If you have chosen a more modern setting, such as a bezel or channel, then you can use gemstones to add colour and radiance to your ring.

The final step is to add some personal touches to your bespoke engagement ring. Work with your jeweller through the entire process, making all the design choices that make your ring unique, original and personal to you and your relationship.
