Custom engagement rings in fairfield, ia

At the start of your new life as a couple, building a custom engagement ring demonstrates your commitment to build something new together. Just as you construct your ring and select the elements you most desire, from the diamond to the metal to the setting, you create a foundation to explore, try something new, and start an adventure side by side with your partner's love and support. A custom ring is a symbolic testament to those sentiments that will endure forever. Whether you or your spouse-to-be chooses the design for a custom engagement ring or you embark on the journey together, you're sure to have built something special at the end of the day.

Exactly What You Want

If you or your partner has had a dream ring in mind for years, a custom engagement ring is the perfect way to get exactly what you want in a ring without having to compromise on any design aspects based on the available selection at your local jeweler. Combine elements of several designs you like and nix or alter parts you don't; when you build a custom ring, you get to choose every component, from the diamond to the number of stones, from the setting to the size. When building a custom ring at Don's Jewelry & Design, your local jewelry store in the Fairfield area, you will always have seasoned professionals and master jewelers guiding you with consultations and design sessions to ensure that your every need is met when designing your perfect, unique engagement ring.

The Diamond for You

Not all diamonds are created equal. When choosing a diamond for your custom engagement ring, there are many factors at play. Deciding and prioritizing your wishes for your ring is important to establish beforehand, as it will guide the ring design. Cut, color, clarity, and carat are all key components to consider when selecting a diamond. A smaller diamond that's priced the same as a larger diamond will be higher quality and showcase a brighter rainbow of colors. Larger diamonds are stunning from a distance but more likely to have microscopic flaws that alter their clarity and may have an undesirable color despite being a higher carat weight. Finding the right balance between quality and size will ultimately depend on your budget and your priorities, but keep in mind, there is no wrong diamond!

A Gemstone Rainbow

Your custom engagement ring doesn't need to only include diamonds. Play with color by incorporating other precious or semi-precious gemstones in all colors of the rainbow. Use your birthstone as an accent stone in a three-stone engagement ring, or if either of you has children, use their birthstones as a symbolic way of adding them into the ring and into your new family. Rubies, sapphires, and alexandrite are durable stones that will do well in an engagement ring built for lifelong wear, but topaz, which is available in a variety of hues, follows them as a slightly less tough but economical choice. Enjoy the many options that building a custom ring gives you, and have fun exploring the world of color!
