Getting engaged is an exciting time in your life, and one of the best parts of it is that you get to go shopping for custom made engagement rings. You will need to think long and hard about the type of ring you want as there are many options available. However, if you are looking for something unique, your options are a little more limited, but you can still get what you want. Below are the choices you have available that you can consider for your engagement ring and help ensure you turn heads when you put the engagement ring on for the first time and are the envy of your friends.
Choose A Vintage Or Antique Engagement Ring
There is some beautiful vintage and antique engagement rings that you can choose for your engagement, and many of these rings are unique. If a ring is antique, it is 100 years old or older, which means the engagement ring will have been handmade by a skilled artisan. When you have handmade jewellery, even when two items are the same, they are slightly different and not a mirror image of each other. Buying a vintage or antique engagement ring is an excellent way to ensure that you wear something unique on your ring finger.
Choose A Custom-Made Engagement Ring Instead
Another excellent way to ensure your engagement ring is unique is commissioning a custom-made ring especially for you. Many people do not consider this option as they assume that it will be too expensive. However, the costs are similar when you compare the cost of a bespoke ring to the price of one from your average high street jewellery store for a mass-produced engagement ring. However, you will get much more value for money when you choose a custom-made engagement ring over one from the jewellery chain stores that have their jewellery made in factors. If this is appealing to you, more information about the process is below.
Deciding What You Want
Unique engagement rings Brisbane has are all handmade by skilled artisans. However, if you happen to live outside of Brisbane, look for a reliable jeweller near you such as Culet Jewellery in Sydney.

You will need to consider what you want in your engagement ring and sit down with the jewellery designer to discuss your requirements. They can help steer you in the right direction, so you get something suitable for your lifestyle and help you maximise your budget.
