An Engagement ring is a very important piece of jewellery for every couple. It holds emotions, love and a promise to be together in all times. The easiest way to buy an engagement ring is to go to a local jeweller and select the one you like from his collection. But there are many couples who are not satisfied with the number of choices available to them. They want something unique and attractive. The best way to make her say 'yes' is by going for a custom designed ring. You can show how much your love means to you by designing your own ring considering in mind her choice.

Proposing her with a custom design ring would mean that you have given thoughts and considerations to present her with something which is special and unique only to her. Designing your own ring needs a lot of considerations.

Decide your Budget- The first and the most important thing to do is fix a budget and select metal and stones based on that.

Style - Select a style which she will prefer the most. Does she prefer simple or elaborate ring, classic, traditional or contemporary ring? You can get an idea of this by the type of jewellery you have seen her wearing. You can also take an idea by talking to her friends about what she will like the most. You can also go for a solitaire diamond ring, which is loved by every girl.

Metal- Another most important thing is to make the metal choice. Engagement rings are usually found in Platinum and yellow or white gold. Platinum is the most expensive but highly durable and hypoallergenic metal. Gold engagement rings can be designed in 18K or 14K. You can mold both these metals to create intricate and highly elaborate designs.

Diamond or Gemstones- No girl can every resist the charm of Diamonds. Engagement rings studded with Diamonds are the most popular of all rings. But if she is fond of coloured stones, then gemstone engagement rings are no less in style and elegance. You can make a choice from Sapphire, Emerald, Pearl or any other gemstone of her colour choice.

Shape of Stones- You can select a heart shape stone which will truly express your feelings. Other choices include round, emerald, cushion or square cut stones.
