Many women dream of their engagement and wedding for much of their lives, so it is important that their partner lives up to these dreams!

Choosing the engagement ring can be one of the hardest aspects of proposing to a lady. There are a massive variety of options out there, however the most traditional and popular is the diamond ring. This is a timeless and classic piece of jewellery that will be treasured for years to come and passed down through the family. The giving of diamond rings dates back to the Middle Ages. During this time it became fashionable for the very rich to give an expensive diamond ring to signify an engagement. In modern times diamond rings can be much more affordable, with a style and price to suit almost everybody.

However, what do you do if you want to give your partner something truly special and unique to mark your engagement? It is an emerging trend for men around the world to buy one or more loose diamonds and design a beautiful and unique ring for the woman in their life. The trend started to grow in popularity after it was revealed that actor Brad Pitt designed the rings for his highly publicised wedding to Jennifer Aniston.

Since then men from all walks of life have sought to make the special occasion even more special with a diamond ring of their own design. This is something that, with a bit of careful planning, you can achieve yourself. The result will be something that reflects your partner’s tastes perfectly, while also showing that you have an intimate knowledge of her personality and what she likes.

How do I go about designing my own diamond ring?

There are several ways you can approach designing your diamond ring. Firstly, you should decide what sort of diamond you would like in the ring and arrange to purchase it as a loose diamond. Those with design experience will probably find it easy to make their own sketches of the ring containing the loose diamonds. For those that have no design experience, the best thing to do is to take your idea to a professional jewellery designer and work with them to create the perfect diamond ring out of your loose diamonds.

A professional designer will work with you to create something that is a true reflection of your partner. Once the design is finalised and you are happy with the result, it is time to take it to a jeweller and have the loose diamonds set in your design. It is a good idea to thoroughly research the jewellers in your area to ensure that you take your design to the best person for the job. As with any industry, different jewellers have different specialties. Therefore you should confirm that the jeweller you hire has a lot of experience with setting the type of loose diamond you have and the type of diamond ring that you have designed.

The day that you propose to your partner should be as magical as possible. The result of you designing your own diamond ring using loose diamonds is that the proposal will be all the more magical, and your partner will be very happy indeed!
