There are many reasons to have a custom crafted ring made for yourself or a loved on, and part of the appeal of your ring being custom made is that you can design it however you want.

While this is one of the best reasons to have a custom crafted ring made, many people often make mistakes in the design process that turns out a ring that is not quite what they expected.  Read on for some tips that will help you design the perfect ring for you.

First you need to remember that you are designing a ring, not a t-shirt or other large surface that can fit a large design. For this reason, you need to keep your design as simple as possible. Ideally you want your ring to be easy to read, even if someone is looking at it from a distance. You are doing this because you are proud of something right? If so, you want your ring to be easy to read and understand so that those who look at it can see what you’re trying to say. 

Less is more when trying to design something as small as a ring. Too many letters or words on the rings head turns out a ring that is barely readable, again defeating the purpose of your ring.

You also need to make sure all sides of your ring are balanced properly so that it’s not heavier on one side. If you have an intricate design on the left side, you need an intricate design on the right. Remember, the simpler the better though.

By following these tips, you are sure to end up with a custom made ring that you can be proud to show off, just as you’re proud of the achievement you are trying to commemorate.

The biggest appeal of creating a custom crafted ring to honor an achievement is that you can start with a blank canvas for design. You’ll end up with the perfect ring that no one else has, making it a true individual statement about you. 

Or course once you start looking at all your options, you may be overwhelmed at just how many choices you have, but coming up with the perfect design doesn’t have to be difficult. 

The first thing you’ll need to do is decide what you’re ring will be in honor of. This can be anything from a graduation to honoring a military service or even your family name. Whatever it is, it should mean something to you and be something that you are proud of.

Next it’s time to choose what your ring will be made of. It can be made of gold or silver, or even a two toned ring for those that can’t decide. For many people this is a personal choice; they like one better than the other, but cost is another factor. Gold will cost more than silver, but whatever you choose, it should represent you well. 

You’ll also be able to choose stones, colors, and font styles. While you can choose whatever you want to put on your ring, it’s important to keep it as simple as possible so that your message can be read. It can be easy to want to add everything, but too many words, stones or letters can make it impossible to read, even from close up. The best designed rings can still be read from far away, so this is what you should shoot for.

After you’ve chosen your design, ordering is as easy as submitting it to RingSource, so before you know it you’ll have a beautiful custom ring!

No matter what we go through, we know we can always count on our families. They are there with us for the most important moments, and with us always.

Family history is also something that many people cherish, and many people take the time to learn all about their ancestors and what kinds of lives they led. You may even be wondering about your family name. 

If you are proud of who you are and where you came from, the best way to celebrate that pride is not with a t-shirt that will eventually wear out over time, or a wall hanging that you only see when you are in a certain spot.

Unlike other heirlooms that you put on display, a family crest ring is something that you can wear proudly to always remember who you are and where you came from.  

Whether for yourself or a family member, or even an entire family, a family crest ring is the perfect way to celebrate who you are and where your family originated. Wear your ring and be proud of who you are.

You’ve probably always dreamed of the day when you got that job at the big company and all the hard work of going to college, studying and finally obtaining your degree paid off. You finally feel like you’ve made your place in the world; shouldn’t you be proud of the road you’ve taken and the work you had to put in to get there?

While it’s not exactly a high maintenance item, you should take the time to clean it and take care of it on a regular basis in order to preserve it’s beauty. If cared for properly, your custom crafted ring will make an excellent family heirloom and will last for generations to come. 

You should first get in the habit of polishing your ring once a month in order to prevent tarnishing that happens naturally over time. You can find polishing cleaners and cloths in jewelry stores or even your local supermarket. Use only a small amount of cleaner, and apply it to the cloth, not the ring itself. 

In addition, you should remove your ring if you are going to be in contact with abrasive cleaners, perfumes, chemicals, sprays and dyes. To keep your ring from scratching only polish it with the cloth that is intended for that purpose. Other types of cloths can scratch your ring. 

Keep it away from extreme temperatures for long periods of time and store it in a cool, dry place, either in an airtight bag or wrapped in a soft piece of cloth. 

If you’re going swimming or doing heavy cleaning with bleach, be sure to remove your ring beforehand as harsh chemicals like chlorine can damage the rings shiny finish. Salt water can harm it as well. 

If you remember these cleaning and care instructions, you’ll be amazed at how long your custom crafted ring will last you. You are proud of the achievement and want the ring to last forever; all it takes is a little tender loving care, and you’ll be able to show off your accomplishments forever.
