It has long been traditional for couples to visit their local jewelry store to choose a diamond engagement ring and while there is nothing wrong with that, there are better alternatives. We all want the best value for money when making such an investment and with that in mind, here are a few benefits you can enjoy when you have the engagement ring made by a custom jeweler.
- You have input on the ring design – The major components of a diamond engagement ring are the metal band, the gemstones, the cuts, and the setting. When you contact a custom maker of diamond engagement rings, the jeweler uses your input to design a ring that ticks all your boxes. Most custom jewelers use 3D imagery with computer software to create a high-definition 3D image of the ring before any work is carried out. If you would like to make minor alterations, this would be the time to do it.
- Reasonable cost – Some couples mistakenly think that commissioning a diamond engagement ring is out of their price range; simply set your budget before you contact a custom jeweler, and most can work to the client’s budget. The gemstones, for example, can be acquired at trade prices and precision cut by experts, which saves you at least 25% on the diamond cost. Custom jewelers understand that people are not wealthy, and they are dedicated to making affordable jewelry. Click here for an informative article on Sydney as a modern metropolis.
- Unique design – When the jeweler hands you the ring box and you open it, you are looking at something totally unique, there is not another like it in the entire universe! It is fitting that an engagement ring is a unique symbol of two people and their undying love for each other. Talk to a leading Sydney-based custom jeweler about your design concept and this would be the first step to creating the engagement ring of your dreams.
- Long-term investment – Regardless of the design, a custom diamond ring will appreciate in value over the years, not that you would every wish to sell it. When you leave your diamond engagement ring to your eldest daughter, the value would already be high when compared to actual cost.
- Wide choice of gemstones – You can add rubies, sapphires, emeralds and amethyst to the design, with a large central diamond. There are many designs and if you are a fan of emerald or jade, why not make this the statement piece. The jeweler can help you choose loose, uncut gemstones from the wholesale market, then the stones are sent to be cut and polished before being assessed by a diamond grading institution and a certificate issued. All gemstones should have certification of quality, using the 4C system; color, cut, clarity and carat.
