Celebrity Inspired Custom Made Engagement Rings


When designing your own engagement ring, it can be useful to look at the latest celebrity engagement rings for the most recent trends and ideas. This can be especially useful if there are celebrities out there who have a style you admire. While you may not have the unlimited finances of some celebrities, you can certainly adapt some of their engagement ring designs.

These recent and not-so-recent celebrity engagement rings are all worthy of a mention:

*Portia de Rossi is the latest celebrity to be wearing a sparkler on that finger. Yes, she and Ellen De Generes are planning on marrying soon. Portia's engagement ring features a central marquis diamond surrounded by pink diamonds.

*Ashlee Simpson has an engagement ring that is beautiful in its simplicity. Ashlee's ring is a square cut diamond (probably Asscher) with many smaller diamonds set around this to maintain the square style. The platinum band also is inlaid with multiple small diamonds. While Ashlee's ring is new it is certainly reflective of the growing trend for square settings and vintage inspired engagement rings.

*Mariah Carey has never made any secret that her favorite color is pink. Not surprisingly, her engagement ring from Nick Cannon features 58 intense pink diamonds coming in at a hefty 17 carats. The rumored value of this enormous engagement ring is $2.5 million. Mariah's ring is very much a vintage inspired setting with a square central setting surrounded by smaller diamonds. The pink diamonds give this almost Art Deco inspired ring a contemporary feel.

*Jessica Alba has a platinum set 4 carat solitaire Asscher diamond. The square setting and the platinum is a very elegant and classic design.

*Eva Longoria Parker. This desperate housewife has a far from suburban engagement ring. Her platinum engagement ring features 3 emerald cut diamonds in a very simple but contemporary design.

*Scarlett Johanssen has a unique sense of style. This girl has chosen a solitaire ring with a roundish stone set in a bezel setting on a gold band. No platinum or square settings in sight.

*Carmen Electra has a black diamond as her central stone. This makes for a very striking engagement ring.

*Katie Holmes may have been married for a while but her engagement ring is still worthy of a mention. Katie has a 5 carat flawless round solitaire diamond as her central setting. Interestingly, the diamond is set in rose gold which contrasts nicely with the platinum band. Around the central stone is a beautiful pave setting of smaller diamonds.

The latest celebrity trend for engagement rings are very much platinum, square settings, vintage inspired, and colored diamonds.

Designing your own engagement ring gives every girl the chance to feel like a superstar. Have a celebrity inspired engagement ring custom made at a fraction of the celebrity price tag. Find the celebrity engagement ring of your dreams and have your custom jeweler make it up for you in a more realistic price range. Your jeweler will be able to advise you on how best to replicate a celebrity engagement ring and keep within your own budget.

How Custom Celtic Engagement Rings Are Made


Custom Celtic engagement rings have an impact that many mass market rings lack. Many Celtic rings have to be personalized to the eventual ring wearer's size, taste and style. Other Celtic design elements may be chosen and a unique Celtic ring can incorporate a variety of enduring, yet popular designs such as Celtic trinity knots, spirals, and the Claddagh design.

The most common design element used for Celtic engagement rings are Celtic knots and it has become an important characteristic in many Celtic engagement ring designs. While there is little documentation on the intended meaning of the mysterious looping Celtic knots, the popular belief is that it brings eternity and interconnectedness to its wearer. This lack of documented history of the Celtic knot design in these incredible pieces of art only adds to the mystery and increasing appeal

The manufacture of a Celtic ring is a time consuming and delicate process. Each step is overseen by a Celtic jewelry specialist. There a four main stages to the creation of a custom Celtic engagement ring:

1. Ring Design: Established Celtic jewelers have in house jewelry designers who work on improving and creating new designs using inspiration drawn from old Celtic manuscripts. The process of designing a Celtic ring is an important step because proper planning and design ensures that the final ring comes out perfect and pleasing to the eye. Several considerations prior to integrating the ever popular Celtic knot design into a Celtic engagement ring are symmetry, diamond cut, and engagement band size. The final design is then the blueprint to create a ring cast.

2. Ring Assembly: Ring castings are assembled by the Celtic jewelry goldsmith. The three parts to assemble for the Celtic ring are the shank, the center mount, and the trinity shoulders. After securing the shank, each piece is carefully soldered onto the shank starting with the center mount. Soldering creates a discoloration in the metal and dipping the ring into a picking compound to cleans it off.

3. Setting the Diamond: The diamond is measured to ensure that the mount fits the diamond perfectly. A careful visual inspection by the jeweler of the diamond position is made to guarantee it is in perfect position. Next, the claws are pushed into place. In order to maintain a level position for the diamond set in the center mount, each claw is slowly pushed down individually. Each prong must then be filed down to ensure no gap exists between the ring and the diamond. Each prong is then rounded off.

4. Polishing: At this point, the gold still doesn't shine like those found in jewelry stores. Polishing is an important step to bring out the beauty and brilliance of the Celtic engagement ring. First, a mechanical polisher with a narrow bristle is used to refine the head of the Celtic ring. Second, a polishing buff is used to remove any rough spots found along the shank of the ring as well as smooth out the ring's head. Third, a firm felt is used to smooth out and flatten the sides of the ring. Lastly, a Rouge is used to bring out the true gleam of the precious metal.

While the Celtic engagement ring manufacturing process seemingly incorporates a few major stages, the jewelry lover must keep in mind that each step requires the skillful hands of a Celtic jewelry craftsman to bring out the glorious Celtic engagement ring. The care and attention to detail in each step ultimately brings out the beauty of these incredible objects d'art.

Custom Engagement Rings - Key Considerations


Customer Engagement Rings are the ultimate symbol of love. They prove to your sweetheart that you have put in a great deal of time and effort to select the perfect engagement ring for them. The truth is that finding the exact ring you envision is no easy task. It is very common for people often visit countless stores, looks at countless rings, and still cannot seem to find the ring they are looking for. For many people, their vision of the perfect ring does not always match what jewellery stores have to offer and custom engagement rings are the perfect option to rectify this situation.

There are a number of key considerations that shopper must take into account before custom rings shopping. They need to understand the process of designing a custom ring, have an idea of the ring your loved one desires, and find a jewellery store that can design a ring to your specifications. Knowing this information will not only move the process along faster, it will also ensure you find the ring you want to present to your sweetheart.

The Process of Designing Custom Engagement Rings

• Custom engagement rings take time to create

• They involve considerably more effort than purchasing a normal engagement ring

• Time and consideration must be put into selecting the right combination of features in order to create the custom ring

• Spend time researching and developing a short list of features that you are considering before approaching a jeweller about creating your custom ring

Know the Ring your Loved One Desires

• Find out the ring features your loved one prefers

• Note the type of jewellery they frequently wear, the jewellery they have in their jewellery box, and listen for clues about what they do and do not like

• If you can successfully narrow down your sweethearts jewellery preferences in terms of:

- The type of metal they prefer (i.e. yellow gold, white gold, etc.)

- The shape and setting of diamonds or gemstones

- The color of the stone

Work with a Jewellery Store that can Design Custom Engagement Rings

• Find a jeweller that has the ability to design the custom engagement ring you want

• It is important that you find a jeweller you are comfortable with and can trust. You will be putting in a lot of time and effort into this process. The more trusting relationship you have with the jeweller the better

• Always have an idea of what you are looking for prior to starting the process. Take the time and look at multiple rings and custom sketches to get the ring you want

• Always confirm every detail of the ring before it is created. This is very important. The last thing you want is a miscommunication to occur resulting in details of the ring you did not request

Taking the extra time to create a custom engagement ring is a great way to show your loved one how much you care for them. However, customer engagement rings take more time and effort than simply purchasing a ring from the store. Be prepared by having an idea of the details your sweetheart prefers and be sure you select a jeweller you trust and can create the ring your seek. Proposing with a custom engagement is sure to win you brownie points because when she says "yes" she will truly have a ring that is one of a kind!

Creating Perfection With Custom Engagement Rings


Custom designed engagement rings can make a lot of sense for many couples in the engagement ring market. While some couples may well fall in love with a ring in a window or magazine or website, for others a custom jeweler maybe a better option for crafting your engagement ring.

But firstly, what is a custom jeweler? A custom jeweler is a jeweler who makes items of jewelry to specific requirements. These jewelers are able to look at a photo or drawing, or listen to a customer's preferences, and then create a wearable piece of jewelry. A good custom jeweler will provide you with sketches or computer drawings of the finished product before starting on the job.

Would a custom designed engagement ring be right for you? Here are some points to consider:

* Can be more cost effective. If you just have to have the same style of engagement ring as a celebrity, chances are that a custom jeweler will be able to create an excellent reproduction, usually at a lesser cost. A custom jeweler can guide you through the various aspects of costing allowing you to determine which, if any, of stone size and clarity, along with metals and settings, needs to be altered or compromised to meet your engagement ring budget.

* Reproduce vintage styles. Love vintage style rings, but don't love the thought of pre-loved jewelery? This is where custom jewelers come into their own. Be sure to take plenty of examples of the ring styles that you love.

* Combine many details. Love filigree, engraving, and fancy settings? Love your sister's worked shank, and your best friend's setting? In most instances, a custom jeweler should be able to marry up the various ring details on your wish list. However, having said that, don't forget that your ring has to be worn on your finger and has to keep the stones safe. If your wishes cannot be all accommodated you may want to listen for the reasons. If the design is just too intricate, then you may want to find a custom jeweler who has computerized equipment capable of creating finer work. If your design is unwearable, you will need to consult a little more with the jeweler.

* Heirloom gems and metals. You may have inherited a family heirloom. Sometimes after a few generations of wear, the family engagement ring can need reworking. Alternatively, you may be wanting to combine rings from both sides of the family to create your very own engagement ring. Either way, custom jewelers will be able to rebuild, overhaul, or convert the family heirloom.

* Unique one-offs. Those couples wanting a truly unique ring will be requiring a custom engagement ring.

* All the itty bitty details. A custom designed engagement ring allows a couple to make decisions about the tiniest details concerning claws, settings, engravings, side stones, etc.

* Can't find the engagement ring you want. You can picture the ring in your head, but you just cannot find it in reality. This is most definitely a job for a custom jeweler. Make sure you are clear with your wishes.

* Time frame. If you need your rings for tonight or tomorrow, then a custom designed ring is not going to be the solution for you. Allow the jeweler enough time to prepare the design, order in the stones, and manufacture the ring. This can vary from jeweler to jeweler.

* Don't forget that your custom jeweler will not be able to read your mind. Taking along drawings and images of all the things you want in your engagement ring is a great place to start. A quality custom jeweler will be able to provide you with drawings or computerized images of what your engagement ring will look like before starting on the work. This is a great time for any little misunderstandings to be ironed out.
