In celebration of customization! Make your engagement ring as individual as your wedding

While there are common elements to the wedding of today, the modern couple wants to create a day that reflects their own style and tastes, creating a celebration as unique as they are. This is particularly the case as a generation of Millennials (those born between 1982 and 2004) proceed to tie the knot.

This is a generation accustomed to tailoring products. From designer cupcakes to handbags, the most important thing is to have a product that feels like the perfect fit for their life, tastes and requirements.

In fact, the wedding site The Knot suggests that over 2/3 of Millennials choose to have a less traditional and more customized wedding, and over 1/3 want to customize their wedding jewelry. Thankfully, the other great Millennial love- the internet- makes that process a piece of (wedding) cake, as research and even product design can be done online.

At Whiteflash, we have a team of highly skilled craftsmen who each have years of experience in designing custom engagement rings which can be combined with our stunning loose diamonds. They specialize in taking your ideas and translating them into a beautiful piece of jewelry that is unique and personal. To begin with, we ask you about your vision, and you can supply ideas and pictures that can be used as inspiration.

Not sure where to begin? Here are some inspirational ideas…

There is plenty of inspiration to be found in your own personal love story. Did you meet in Paris? Does your bride-to-be have Celtic roots? The heritage of your families and the places that are special to you can often be incorporated into the design of the ring.

Whether your theme is one of graceful elegance, over-the-top glamor or vintage styling, these are all elements that can be incorporated into an engagement ring design.

It’s not just weddings that many people plan for years in advance – the perfect engagement ring is all part of the story. Whether your fiancé has always known exactly what she wants, or the two of you collaborate to create the perfect design as a couple, this is a great occasion to dabble in the world of jewelry design.

But before you take to the drawing board, it is worth considering whether the perfect ring is already out there. A designer engagement ring offers the best of both worlds – limited edition, and designed by master craftsmen at the very top of their profession. These rings do not have to break the bank – by incorporating a more budget-friendly diamond, it is often possible to find something to suit a smaller budget, while still retaining that assurance of quality and exclusivity that comes with a designer ring.

The other advantage is that these rings are normally produced more quickly than designing a ring from scratch. Some designers even offer customization - the best of both worlds! With a Verragio ring, for instance, you can often change the type of metal of the smallest detail on the ring, from the lace to the beading. This creates something both unquestionably designer, while also being unmistakably you.

If you’re feeling inspired, why not take a look at the range of engagement rings available at Whiteflash – you might find creative inspiration for your design, or you might just find your perfect ring!
