Four Essential Tips for Choosing the Perfect Customized Ring

There are very few gifts that you can give someone that carry the same weight and significance than a ring. The symbolism of a ring – being a perfect circle, with no beginning and no end – tells the recipient that your love for them will also never end. And while anyone can walk into a generic department store and choose a ring off the shelf, custom-designing a ring creates a special gift that stands out in a sea of lackluster jewelry. Of course, picking out a ring can be more than a little bit daunting (especially if you’ve never done it before!), which is why we’ve assembled these four important tips for helping you create a ring that your loved one would be proud to wear on their finger.

Choose the Occasion

The right ring should match the occasion that you’re commemorating with the recipient. For instance, if the ring is for a graduation, then you may want to choose a more basic design. If it’s for a birthday or an anniversary, however, we have many elegant rings that feature stunning CZ stone inlays.

Know Their Style

Before you choose a ring, it’s important to know the style of the wearer. Do they tend to reach for more simple, basic jewelry? Then a simple band may do the trick for them. What if they like pops of color? Our gorgeous blue metallic edge ring may be what you’re looking for. No matter where their personal preferences lie, we have an amazing selection from which you can choose!

Determine Their Size

Trying to figure out someone’s ring size can be tricky. Of course, you can always ask them directly, but that runs the risk of spoiling the surprise. You can also enlist their friends for advice. If you feel bold, you can borrow one of their rings and have its size measured by a professional. (Psst -- even if you do order the wrong size, we stand behind our easy, 30-day return policy!)

Create Your Message

Finally, this is the fun part: where you choose the personal message that you’ll have inscribed on the ring. The message is up to you, but you may decide to share an inspirational quote, a heartfelt message, or even an inside joke. The choice is yours, as long as it fits within 20 characters!
