Create With Angara: 5 Easy Ways To Personalize Your Engagement Ring

You’ve got a unique love story. It’s time you told it with a personalised engagement ring. Okay, so you have you’ve scoured the internet like crazy and run yourself ragged through the jewelry stores, and still found everything too common. Too commercial. Nothing captured your relationship in a unique yet memorable way. We understand! With different styles of engagement rings available, it’s not always easy to find one that perfectly matches what you have in mind. Or maybe you found yourself loving specific elements of certain rings that spoke to your soul (the setting, the style or the gemstone?) but are unable to find “the one” that ticks all the boxes and has your one-of-a-kind love story etched all over it. If either of these two scenarios sounds like you, then we’d say it’s time to consider creating your own!

For one, the engagement ring will be unique and your fiancée will love knowing that you put the time and effort into making their forever adornment unlike any other. But more importantly, with a custom-created piece, you can get a ring that celebrates and reflects the beautiful aspects of your relationship… things that make your love story, YOURS! And, it’s much easier than you might think—especially with our latest offering—Create With Angara.

Eager to know how to customise your engagement ring? Right from selecting that all-important gemstone to choosing the little details of the shank, here are 5 creative ways you can personalize your engagement ring.

Design Your Personalised Engagement Ring

1. Pick A Centre Stone That Speaks To You

What made you fall in love with your partner? We bet it was because she’s different than anyone else you’ve ever met and she made you feel different than anyone else has made you feel. So, why not commit to ‘forever’ with an engagement ring that celebrates her individuality and matches the emotions you feel for bae? Enter: Coloured gemstones.

If she has a favourite gem (many women do!) or a colour, you already have a winner for your centre stone. Additionally, you can also pick a birthstone to make it more meaningful. Rumor has it, Ben Affleck chose a green diamond for JLo’s engagement ring because green is her lucky colour. Even Machine Gun Kelly proposed to Megan Fox with a diamond and emerald ring, i.e., both their birthstones.

There’s also nothing quite like telling your story through the brilliance of coloured gemstones. You can declare your enduring love with an emerald, pick a London blue topaz because it reminds you of the ski trip during which you realised she was the one for you or even get an opal to reflect the different colours she adds to your life.

The best part? We have an extensive library of gemstones – a stone in every hue you can ever imagine so you can bring your dream vision to life. You can choose from popular gems like ruby, sapphire, emerald, opal or take your pick from CWA exclusives like green amethyst kyanite, zircon, alexandrite and rubellite straight from our jeweller’s vault. And did we mention, most of them are GIA-certified too?

Want something spectacular without breaking the bank? You can always opt for a lab-grown engagement ring. And yes, we know what you’re thinking – is it the real deal? We promise you, it absolutely is! Lab-grown diamonds and coloured gems are optically, chemically and physically identical to their earth-mined counterparts. So, whether you choose a lab-grown diamond engagement ring or a lab-made coloured gemstone sparkler, you can be assured it’ll be swoon-worthy. Since red is the colour of love and passion, you could choose a lab-grown ruby engagement ring to add an extra dash of romance to your proposal. Is blue her favourite colour? Well then, she’ll fall for you all over again when she sees her lab-grown blue sapphire engagement ring. Does she adore all things green? Surprise her with a lab-grown emerald engagement ring.

Plus, we also have gemstones in different carat weights, so you can choose the perfect one as per your partner’s style. After all, the average carat size for engagement rings vary based on personal preference.

Plus, you can get a 360º view to see exactly what your chosen gemstone will look like. No surprises there. Made you go WOW, right?

2. Choose A Setting Unique To Your Relationship

Another way to personalize your engagement ring is by selecting a custom head or setting for your ring. This one’s a game changer, especially if you’ve loved the centre stone on one ring and the setting on the other. And yes, there are so many engagement ring settings to choose from!

If you’re feeling lost consider these two questions:

• What’s her personality like?
• What do you want your ring to say about your love?

If she favors simpler styles or doesn’t prefer to wear a ton of jewellery, your best bet would be to opt for a solitaire-style ring with a prong, bezel or peg setting. BTW, it’s also an incredibly romantic choice as it says: you’re the only one for me.

However, if subtlety doesn’t cut it for your S.O., you can consider a halo or vintage-inspired ring. We bet she’ll love the grandeur and the added dose of sparkle. PS: Halo is also a great way to let them know they surround your life with their love. Want to make it more meaningful? Go for a three-stone setting to showcase a love that transcends time.

Pro Tip: Pick a colourful accent gem (we have rubies, sapphires and emeralds apart from diamonds) to complement your main gem and make your ring even more unique.

 This is also a great way to personalize a lab-grown diamond engagement ring and add a pop of colour to your token of love.

3. Design The Shank To Suit Her Style

The next important decision you need to make is to select a shank that suits her style. Trust us, there’s nothing quite like showing the lady you love how well you know her.

If she’s a minimalist, you may want to go for a plain shank. It’s a classic! But if she favors bolder styles, you can select a split, tapered, knife, twisted or even a nature-inspired shank style.

PS: You can also add more sparkle to your shank (halfway or three-quarters way) with diamonds, coloured gemstones or even do a mix of both. Andddd (of course there’s more!) you can pick intricate motifs like leaf, feather, scroll or milgrain detailing for the top and sides of the shank. Designing an engagement ring for women is fun and super easy… right? Guess what? This is a super cool way to personalize a lab-grown emerald engagement ring if your lady loves both gorgeous hues and extra sparkle.

4. Add A Peekaboo Stone

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a ring that sparkles from every angle and not just from the face-up? Yes, we’ll let you do that too! Depending upon your ring design, you can add a signature stone (it’ll be more like a peekaboo stone – something that’s visible to only you and your bae) for a sweet element of surprise.

Need ideas on which stone to select? Well, you can choose a diamond as a reminder of your unshakeable bond, a ruby to symbolize the unending love you two share or a blue sapphire to promise your fidelity and commitment to each other. The choice is all yours!

A fun tip to personalize a lab-grown ruby engagement ring is to choose a peekaboo stone in a different colour for a truly unique touch.

5. Have It Engraved For That Extra Personal Touch

Yes, you can personalize your engagement ring even further with an engraving. In fact, this is *that* step that will make your ring a sparkler that’s 100% YOU.

This is a great way to personalize lab-grown blue sapphire engagement rings as well as other natural and lab-made sparklers.

What should you get engraved? You can get your and your bae’s initials, the date you first met or decided to tie the knot, a special message, a short quote, a symbol like a heart or infinity or even something as timeless as “I Love You”. The possibilities are truly endless!
