Here’s a tip: Don’t get personalized wedding rings if you enjoy having your most special moments be exactly the same as a thousand other couples in your town. My newlywed wife and I have too many friends that shop at the same handful of jewelry stores in town; we know three women who all have their own carbon copy of a ring. Most of the fun in having jewelry is showing it off and feeling special, so having your most important possession be one in a crowd is heartbreaking. We decided to custom design both our rings, with spectacular results. The cost was similar to what it would be to purchase the rings off the showroom floor, but we are virtually guaranteed never to run across a couple with identical rings to ours. Plus, you can ensure your rings are exactly what you want to have on your finger. While a lot of the fun of flashy rings is showing it off, there is a lot of personal and sentimental value to the rings as well. Because of that, we decided to have both our rings engraved on the inside of the band. Put whatever means the most to you there - be it elegant roman numerals of the date of your anniversary, your new last name, or, in our case, certain pet names we have for each other. The rings mean so much more to us because they’re personalized, and I highly recommend making your own rings as unique as your love.
