Wove offers true custom rings, not combination rings. Most online jewelers who claim to be custom misuse this term to label their standing inventory. They offer clients different combinations of diamonds, settings, and bands, but aren’t able to create anything truly unique. While we produce our jewelry for a specific customer in mind, other jewelers mass source rings from overseas. At Wove, our in-house team of designers and craftsmen collaborate with you to create your custom ring. There is no limit to what we can create, and each one of our clients is delivered a unique ring that’s handmade for them.
Here are some things to consider when deciding between getting a custom-designed ring or buying a pre-made one:
1. Create a One-of-a-Kind Piece
Wanting a one-of-a-kind ring is the most common reason couples work with us to create their rings. You don’t buy the same clothing or home decor as everyone you know because you want to be unique and express your personality and style. This same concept of individuality also applies when you buy an engagement ring. More often than not, people end up with a very similar looking ring to their rest of their friends. When you create your ring design with us, your ring will be your own. With a custom ring, you don’t have to compromise on any aspect of the ring design. Everything from the type of setting to the band metal to the diamond size can be selected by you and combined to create your perfect ring.
2. Your Ring Reflects Thought & Care
There’s a big difference between having a ring custom made and getting a mass-produced ring from a big-box mall store. Whether you’re designing your ring together or the process will be done only by the proposer, the amount of care you put into crafting this ring reflects the importance you place on your relationship. If you’re the proposer, you want to go above and beyond to make your partner happy. If you’re designing your ring as a couple, it shows that you both cherish this relationship and shows your commitment to going that extra mile in your partner.
3. The Personalization Options Are Endless
When you create a custom ring, it’s easy to add meaningful, personal touches to your ring. Creating a custom design instead of buying straight from the shelf means that you complete control over the final look of your ring. Whether your taste leans more simple or elaborate, a custom ring means that you can express your style through every detail of your ring. Creating your own ring means that you can choose every design element of the ring, including any extra embellishments or accents you want to add. These personalizations can simply be style preferences, but can also be sentimental touches that you can infuse into your ring.
4. Have Control Over Quality and Budget
The quality of a custom ring is incomparable to that of a pre-made ring. When you design your own ring you can ensure that you use only the highest quality materials. When purchasing a pre-made ring, its quality may remain a mystery. The typical ring found in a big box jewelry store is made overseas by low-wage workers. By creating your ring with one of our designers you can rest assured that your ring will receive the closest attention to detail and unparalleled craftsmanship. Customizing your ring also makes it easy for you to work within your budget. When you buy a pre-made engagement ring, finding a ring that fits within your budget may get overwhelming. You may not be able to control every part of your ring so that it works together according to your budget preferences. However, with a custom design, your designer will work with you to mix and match different elements to create a final ring that will fit within your budget range.
5. Be a Part of Your Ring’s Story
The journey to creating an engagement ring can be a fun and exciting time in your life. For many, this process can typically feel stressful because you want to get it right. However, if done correctly, the journey you take to create your custom ring will be an exciting one that will be a wonderful memory to cherish for the rest of your life. With the help of our skilled jewelry designers, you'll not only enjoy the process, but learn more about the jewelry and diamond industries too. Being involved in the process means that you’ll be able to give your input and ideas, which will make the final design that much more special. Once your ring is complete you’ll be happy to not only have a gorgeous ring, but also have the story of how you created it to tell for years to come.
6. Get Expert Advice
Going through the custom process means that you’ll have constant, direct access to a jewelry expert! If you buy a pre-made ring from a store, you may get a pushy pitch from a salesperson, only to never hear from them again. When you custom design your ring, you get an industry insider at your disposal. Your jewelry designer will help you work through your ideas, make suggestions, and be there as a consistent source of support and knowledge. Your designer is invested in your ring creation journey and wants to provide you with an exceptional outcome. As part of our process, your designer helps you create an inspiration board of ideas, provides you with a ring sketch to review, works through any revisions you have, and helps you get your dream ring just right. Whatever standout style, distinctive setting, or personal touch you’re seeking, custom designing your ring will help you bring your vision to life. At Wove, designing your own ring means that you can create a personalized piece to ensure the highest quality all while telling your one-of-a-kind love story.
