How To Make Your Own Wedding Ring
You found each other, someone proposed and someone accepted
, and now you have agreed to the wedding date. And you have had one more suggestion that will keep you out of trouble for the rest of your life, no matter how late you are on some days. You have suggested to make your own wedding rings instead of going with a custom engraved wedding ring. There are more options then there was a few years ago. You can make your own wedding rings to match the bride's gown.
There are several metals that you can make your own wedding rings out of: white gold, gold, silver, and titanium. In the United Kingdom, you can even make your own wedding rings from regular nickels. Cool, a five-cent wedding band! There is also tungsten, but that choice is not really recommended because steel cutters that most hospitals use will not get the ring off; so if your fingers swell, you are in trouble because that sucker isn't coming off.
Ringly Ideas for Your Wedding Hoops
There are also several choices of gems that one can choose when you make your own wedding rings. There is always the traditional girl's best friend, the trusty old diamond. Not to be out done by some shiny piece of coal is the luscious pearl, and the other family favorites of rubies, opals, or emeralds. If stones are not your thing, you can go without a stone.
When you make your own wedding rings, you can have engravings if you want to add them. Accent stones are perfectly acceptable, as are zodiac symbols. Professing ones undying love is also another great idea. The choices are endless except an old ex girlfriends name; that could get you into big trouble. You can also give the rings a brushed finish look.
Besides the creative plus to wanting to make your own wedding rings, there is also the fact that they are very budget friendly. The reason that they are so much less expensive is that you are not paying for the designer's name. If done right, the rings will become more sentimental as you grow old together.
Some couples choose to have the vows engraved into their rings, and some men are putting the dates into their bands for a reminder that will keep them from buying that expensive ring to get them out of trouble when they have forgotten their anniversary. Some couples have chosen to make rings out of bones. It may seem odd, but as the saying goes "to each his own".
