Though there are many ready to wear alternative engagement rings, sometimes the styles available just don't match your vision or preferences. Jewellery as special and important as your wedding jewellery should be just right for you. Having your engagement ring custom made to your taste and preferences is a great way to go. But why custom design a ring?
Benefits of having wedding jewellery custom made
There are many benefits of opting to have your wedding jewellery custom made. One of the greatest benefits is how personalised the final result is. When you choose to work with a reliable jeweller to dream up your perfect ring, you ensure the final ring feels like you. It makes the jewellery all the more special because it is completely unique and custom to you.
Another reason why having bridal jewellery custom made is a beautiful option is because you can incorporate family heirlooms into your wedding jewellery. If you have a family heirloom that isn't getting worn or a gemstone that's been passed down for generations, consider having it custom made into a wedding or engagement ring that holds extra significance and meaning.
There are many tips for choosing your wedding jewellery that you can use not only when hunting for your dream ring, but when you're designing it too.
What stones can you use in alternative engagement rings?
Though traditional wedding and engagement ring styles will always be around, alternative engagement rings have been gaining popularity in recent years.These rings feature a greater variety of gemstones, cuts and ring designs - giving people more freedom to find engagement rings that truly reflect the recipient in a beautiful way.
Here at Custom Jewellery Co, we make custom alternative engagement rings with any gemstone you love, but our favourites are the beautiful Opals and Sapphires.
Choose your opal
Opals are such a beautiful and unique stone. Their colours, patterns and sizes come in such variety so everyone can find an opal they fall in love with. When these gemstones are used in engagement rings, it creates a stunning one of a kind look that is just as unique as your love for one another. Choosing an opal or knowing what to look for in an opal can be tough, but rest assured, we only work with the best of the best opals from our ethical suppliers.

Choose your sapphire
Sapphires in engagement rings are a beautiful blend of tradition and alternative flare. Sapphire vs diamond engagement rings are often compared. Whilst sapphires have a similar twinkle to diamonds, they come in a wider range of colours ranging all the way from deep blues to vibrant pinks. They can be cut into beautiful shapes, making them a luxurious choice and a fantastic alternative to diamonds.

Why limit it to just one gemstone?
There is no reason why multiple different gemstones can't be combined together in your engagement ring design. Choose to compliment your gorgeous opal with a sapphire accent or your Sapphire with a diamond. The options are endless! Talking to a professional jeweller can be a great help to not only get a bigger picture on the options available, but also to work with them to bring what you have in mind to life.
