#1 – Use Good Quality Materials

Using good quality materials is the first step to create a long lasting engagement ring that will last forever. Good materials not only make the ring look good but also make it durable. Using durable precious metals, high quality diamonds and robust coloured gemstones will make your custom engagement ring beautiful for years.

According to diamond jewellers beauty and durability is the key for an engagement ring to be worn daily. Below are the materials that achieve this, precious metals, high quality diamonds and coloured gemstones.

Precious Metals

Precious metals affect the look and longevity of engagement rings, with varying levels of durability and tarnish resistance. Platinum and white gold are good options that are more durable and will keep their beauty over time and can be worn daily. Using platinum or white gold will make your engagement ring look beautiful and last forever.

High Quality Diamonds

High quality diamonds with good cut, clarity and carat will make your diamond engagement ring sparkle and last longer. For diamonds over 0.50 carats get a grading report from a reputable lab to verify their quality.

Coloured Gemstones

Durable coloured gemstones like sapphires and rubies add character and longevity, unlike traditional diamond rings.

These gemstones are not only beautiful but also durable enough to be worn daily, so they are a great choice for a custom engagement ring.

#2 – Smart Design Elements

A beautiful engagement ring is a balance of beauty and practicality to be worn daily. Talk to your jeweler about practical tips to create a durable and comfortable ring for your partner’s lifestyle. Secure settings, durable band and smooth edges will make the ring more durable and beautiful and comfortable.

Secure Settings

Secure settings will protect the center stone from damage. Prong settings with metal claws to hold the diamond allows more light to pass through the diamond and keep it secure. Bezel settings encircles the diamond with metal for a sleek look and extra protection from damage.

Whatever prong, bezel setting or other, the right setting is the key to the ring’s beauty and durability to keep the center stone secure and protected.

Durable Band

The band’s durability is important for an engagement ring that will last forever. A thicker band is more durable and less likely to bend or break. This is especially important for daily wear as the ring has to withstand daily wear and tear.

Go for a thicker band to prevent deformation and keep the ring beautiful for years.

Smooth Edges

Smooth edges in ring design makes it more comfortable and durable by preventing snagging on clothing, making it practical for daily wear. This design element also reduces wear and tear and prolongs the ring’s beauty and integrity.
