You might have been planning it for only a few months, or perhaps you’ve been mentally adjusting the details of your wedding for years, but chances are you didn’t simply see a wedding you liked and say, “I want that one!”
You want your big day to be special so you’ve taken the time to ensure that every detail is just how you want it. From the flowers to the food to the dresses and the decor, you’ve customised every detail of your wedding to suit your individual taste.
So what about your wedding ring?
Though the memories will be with you forever, your wedding only lasts for a day. Your wedding ring will be on your finger for the rest of your life; if anything should be custom-designed, it’s your ring.
Customized Details for Your Wedding Ring
When you order a custom wedding ring, you can control every detail of its design and creation to have a ring that not only has the perfect fit, but one which provides the perfect reflection of your love and your personal style.
It all starts with your choice of precious metals: weddings rings made of yellow gold once were very popular and remain a classic and subtly colorful choice. White gold and platinum have become common choices for custom wedding rings as well, and many prefer what they feel is a cleaner look.

With a custom wedding ring, the choice is all yours.
You also have your choice of finishes for whichever metal (or metals) you select. Polished to a high shine or brushed for a slightly textured and more subdued gleam, the finish you select for your custom wedding ring has a huge impact on its overall look and feel.
You can also elect to have gemstones added to your custom wedding band. From a halo of diamonds around your ring’s central stone to a gem-encrusted fanfare of jewels in all colours of the rainbow—and everything in between—you can go as basic or as bling as you’d like!
A Custom Inscription on Your Wedding Ring Seals the Deal
For a final touch that fully-customizes your wedding ring, nothing beats a personalized inscription. It might simply be your and your spouse’s initials. Perhaps there’s a line from a poem, song, or prayer that holds special meaning for the two of you. It could be a phrase you’ve created and share frequently as a couple to express your love, or something you’ve written specifically for inscribing on your ring.

Whatever you select, it will be a special secret between you, your spouse and your wedding band!
From choosing the raw materials to finalizing your custom wedding ring with just the right words, the process of designing your ring should be as personal and as meaningful as your wedding itself. There’s no need to settle for a design that you don’t love when the right ring is just waiting for you. In the end, you’ll have a ring that is more beautiful and more heartfelt than you could have imagined.
