How important is it to have a custom design for your engagement ring that is unique and not readily available in stores?
Crafting an engagement ring with inherited jewellery offers numerous benefits, allowing you to create a truly one-of-a-kind ring that no one else will have. The combination of inherited pieces and new materials results in a unique and personalized piece of jewellery that serves as a beautiful statement about your relationship and the importance of your family's history or that of your loved ones.
Another main benefit of creating an engagement ring with inherited jewellery is the sentimental value it holds. Incorporating a piece of family history into the ring adds depth and meaning to the design, making it an even more special and personal statement of love. It's a way to honor your family's legacy while creating something new and unique.

How to get started with your unique engagement ring design!
The process of creating a custom ring using inherited jewellery is similar to that of a regular custom design, but with the added step of incorporating elements of the inherited pieces into the design.
💎Assess your inherited pieces: Take a close look at your inherited jewellery collection and decide which pieces you would like to incorporate into your engagement ring design. Consider the sentimental value of each piece, such as the history and meaning behind the jewellery, the stones or metals that hold significance, and any cultural or familial traditions associated with them. Think about how these elements can be combined into a design that is unique to you and your partner.
💎Find a reputable jeweller: Look for a jeweller who specializes in working with inherited jewellery and custom engagement rings. Do your research and ask for recommendations from friends or family who have created custom designs. Check reviews and ratings from previous customers to ensure the jeweller has a good reputation for quality and customer service.
💎Schedule a consultation: Once you've found a jeweller you trust, schedule a consultation to discuss your ideas and preferences. Bring any images or sketches you have to help the jeweller get a better idea of what you're looking for. During the consultation, the jeweller will evaluate the pieces you want to use and offer suggestions for incorporating them into the design.
💎Discuss the design: During the consultation, you'll discuss the design of the engagement ring and how you want to incorporate the inherited pieces. The jeweller will create a sketch or 3D model using Computer Aided Design (CAD) of the design for you to review and make any changes before the final product is created. Be open to the jeweller's suggestions and expertise, but also make sure the design reflects your personal style and preferences.
💎Determine your budget: Talk to the jeweller about your budget for the custom design. The cost will depend on factors such as the materials used, the complexity of the design, and the jeweller's labour fees. The jeweller can provide an estimate of the cost based on the design and materials used, and help you choose materials that fit within your budget.
💎Choose the materials: Work with the jeweller to choose the materials for the engagement ring, such as metals and gemstones. Consider using the metal from an inherited piece to make the ring even more sentimental. The jeweller can suggest additional stones or metals that will complement the inherited pieces and create a cohesive design.
💎Finalize the design: After you've approved the design and the estimate, the jeweller will need to measure your finger size to ensure a perfect fit for your custom engagement ring.
If you're creating the ring as a surprise for your future fiancée, you'll need to provide a ring that fits so that the jeweller can take the correct measurement.
The jeweller will create the final piece of your unique and one-of-a-kind engagement ring. You'll have the opportunity to review the finished product and make any final adjustments or modifications. Once you're satisfied with the design, the jeweller will present you with the finished product, a beautiful and meaningful engagement ring that honours your family's legacy and tells your unique love story.
