I and my wife recently got married and I would like to share how I got to acquire my diamond ring here in Singapore.
In essence, the details of the specifics will pretty much vary all because of a few factors. These factors include your needs, the jeweler shop you have chosen etc. But in general, here are a few things you will expect if, like me, you decided to go with a customised wedding band.
Draw it on Paper
If in case, like me, you have a clear vision of the design of the ring in your head, try to sketch it. Diamond wedding bands that are custom made will have a clearer goal if the whole team has the idea of the shape and vibe of the design you have in mind. When I did this, I was able to convey what I wanted for the wedding band.
What I had done was after crudely drawing out on paper the design I had wanted, I went online to get additional details when it comes to designs as well as colour and shapes. I had also went out and checked out physical stores all around Singapore.
All these things help in giving you the sort of unique design for the engagement ring you're searching for.
Go Online
Once I got my unique design of an engagement ring down, I went straight online onto the custom jewelry makers found all throughout Singapore. If you have a pal that you can trust that already has an online store that makes custom made rings, you've got it covered. I had none so, I had to start at the very bottom. But, thanks to the magic of the internet, it took no time at all for me to find a jeweler shop I can trust.
One advice I can give is that when you finally get to pick an online store, you ought to ask for previous samples of works. This will help you determine the quality of their work and the overall capability of their team to create specific custom designs.
Work Together
One of the fondest memories I had while collaborating with the custom shop was us putting all our ideas and vision together to create this special wedding band I would need to ask my wife to marry me.
Once the ball is rolling, you can still review all the coloured illustrations of the design, make sure all of the details are all in place and the planned direction for the project is being followed. If the online store has the resources available, you can have the design computerized. It was really cool for me to see my designs for the ring re-interpreted on CAD.
Lastly, Document
I trust the custom shop I had collaborated with, but, it really won't hurt if you did get a few sets of papers for the product.
Warranties and guarantees are important documentations. Put everything in writing. All from the elements you've both agreed on.
Lastly, insure the ring. That will always come in handy in the future.
