Congratulations! You've found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with and have designed the perfect engagement ring (Ethical lab grown diamonds or mined diamond rings? The options are endless!), and now it's time to pop the question. As you begin planning your epic proposal, you may be thinking about unique aspects to include in your proposal, and also may be wondering how you can make it truly unique. After all, you want this moment to be perfect. Luckily, we've got a great idea that will help take your proposal to the next level. Consider creating a custom engagement ring box!

Why a Custom Ring Box?

When you think about an engagement ring box, the first thing that probably comes to mind is a small, velvet-lined box that opens up to reveal the diamond engagement ring inside. While there's nothing wrong with this type of box, it can be a bit dull and uninspired. A custom engagement ring box, on the other hand, is unique and personal. It's a reflection of your relationship and will be something that you can treasure long after you've said "I do." Plus, it's sure to wow your partner when they see it!

How to Design a Custom Ring Box

There are endless possibilities when it comes to designing a custom engagement ring box. To get started, think about what your partner loves. Do they have a favorite hobby? Are they passionate about a particular cause? What's their favorite color? Answering these questions will help you zero in on a design that they are sure to love.For example, if your partner loves animals, you could have a custom engagement ring box made in the shape of their favorite animal. Or, if they are an avid traveler, you could design a box that looks like a vintage suitcase.Choosing to create a custom ring box also presents a unique opportunity to highlight your partner's dream ring that you have created. You can design the box playing up certain aspects of the ring (for example, if you have included pear shaped diamonds in your ring design you could make the box pear shaped, or ensure the box is yellow or white depending if you have chosen a yellow gold or white gold ring). It is an opportunity to showcase the center stone of your perfect ring, so play up to every aspect of it! Pro tip: you can even design a custom ring box for your wedding rings - a memory to last a lifetime!Once you have an idea of what you want the box to look like, it's time to decide if you want to put your creativity to the test and make the box yourself, or start shopping around for someone who can make your vision come to life.

How to Find a Custom Ring Box Designer

When searching for someone to design your custom engagement ring box, look for someone (or a design team) who specializes in custom work. You will want to ensure that the person or team you are considering to make your ring box is familiar with the material you want to use, as this way you can be confident that they will be able to create exactly what you're looking for. Once you've found someone whose work you love, reach out and tell them about your vision for the project. Once they provide you with a quote that you approve, and if they seem excited about it and are willing to work with you closely throughout the process (this is key as you want your custom ring box to be perfect), then you have found your match!
