It is Easy to Design Your Own Wedding Ring

When you want the skies, nothing would satisfy, but the best. And in the case of wedding rings, if you haven’t found the perfect band, yet, how about it that you design your own wedding ring?

Think About It

It symbolizes the union of two bodies and two souls. It binds the couple with the cord of love and togetherness. A wedding band on the finger shouts out, “he is mine,” or “that pretty lady is my beloved wife.”

However, when you design your own ring, it should suit your style and personality. You should also ensure that it caters to your pocket. A unique style would be one that fulfills all this as well as matches with the ring of your partner. To design your own wedding ring, you could consider going for diamonds if your budget allows you too, or select a cheap wedding band option.

Some Tips

Once you do decide to design your own wedding ring, do not let anything change your mind. You are on the right track. Read these tips for some ideas.

* Hire a professional designer to make the most exquisite band for you. Your unique band should catch the eye of every person on the marriage day. As you known exactly what you want, give the designer the exact design and your approximate budget. Nothing is as satisfying as a custom made band.
* Personalize the design as much as possible. You could think up some innovative messages or symbols and get those engraved into your rings.
* Incorporating your favorite color or birthstone is also a good idea when you are out to design your own wedding ring. Consult friends or a known jeweler for some more tips in this regard.
* Surf through internet websites or read bridal magazines to get some ideas on exclusive designs. A Celtic or Titanium rings are currently quite popular. Check them out.
* Consider going for a matching set when you are so keen to design them yourself. This will cut down the cost further. Although there will be no designer label, but it will shine one in a million, just because you chose it and put your heart and soul into getting it made.
* Photos at the jeweler’s can also give some great ideas if you want to show your creativity. You could sip a cola and go through them to get some ‘bright thoughts’ to share with your designer.
* Finally and most importantly, when you are out to design your own ring, consider the metal for the setting, the shape, the color and most importantly, the size. When all these things are right with the right design, you have a superb ring in your hands!

You can say “forever” with just one ring – if you will make it a titanium wedding ring. “Forever” doesn’t come with gold and a diamond, certainly – gold doesn’t convey enough of the permanence the word was made to represent. Even if you leave the diamond for some other piece of jewelry – like a necklace, an earring or even a brooch, a single titanium wedding ring would speak of a lifetime commitment all on its own.

The chemical element Titanium (Ti) was named after the Titans, ancient mythological creatures who were more powerful than the Graeco-Roman gods. In fact, the Titans were supposed to have fathered some of the gods, who proceeded to grow in number. Think of titanium, then, as the father of all metals, which may be more popular than titanium… but at the same time inferior in integrity and strength.

The metal titanium is corrosion-resistant, even against salt water and chlorine, which wear away most other metals. Titanium also has a high melting point, which means it can withstand high temperatures and drastic weather changes without becoming tarnished or misshapen. For this reason, titanium is not generated by ordinary casting methods, but by powder metallurgy. It is also often used as a refractory metal. The supremely resistant properties of the element would make a titanium wedding ring basically indestructible.

In fact titanium is used for a variety of beauty and health care products. Some of the best eyewear in the world, for example, are made of titanium. These can be very expensive, but buyers will agree: the lifetime guarantee that comes with owning a titanium eyepiece is well worth every penny.

Zirconium is very similar in composition to titanium, hence zirconium-titanium combinations are used for many pieces of jewelry. A zirconium gemstone would make an attractive set for a titanium wedding ring, as its look is very similar to that of the diamond. In fact, the oxide of zirconium is processed to create the cubic zirconia, which creates the diamond.

Moreover, the titanium metal used for jewelry is hypoallergenic. Platinum and white gold are two other favorite choices for metals for the same reason. But if you’re shopping around for the best metals for a special gift, you just can’t go wrong with the strongest and most durable.

Many have said that titanium shapes the future of art. In fact a 150-foot (45 m) statue of Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, was made in Moscow, entirely of titanium! The ones who made the statue, as well as the ones who have gazed up at it, have no doubt that it will last forever. Your titanium wedding ring will certainly survive as long, and look no further if you want to prove that your love was made to last for all time
