Whether you’re choosing a personalized ring for yourself or a loved one, you’ll always want to get it right. Tailoring a gift to the recipient shows an extra level of care and appreciation that few other gifts can match. A carefully chosen personalized ring communicates to the recipient that they are very special and have instant heirloom potential. Here are 10 ideas to consider if you’re looking for a truly unique gift.
1. Choose a monogrammed ring. Monogrammed rings are a classic type of personalized ring, particularly popular with men. Choosing a block style font is the perfect choice for men, with its masculine look and sophisticated design. For women, a cursive script is classic and elegant.
2. Choose a name ring. Name rings are a hot trend in jewelry, and some of Hollywood’s trendiest trendsetters wear them on the red carpet. Name rings are ideal for teens and young women who love to express their individuality.
3. Choose a personalized promise ring. Promise rings are popular with older teens and college students who want to express deep commitment without committing. To make that ring extra special, consider engraving the ring with the couple’s names.
4. Choose a birthstone ring. Birthstones are not a new or revolutionary concept in jewelry and are sometimes overlooked in favor of newer styles. Each stone has its own individual look, and even semi-precious stones are beautiful.
5. Choose a family ring. This is a great option for moms, especially! You can have a ring engraved with the names of the children or grandchildren in the family, or have one set with the children’s birthstones.
6. Record a special message to always carry. Whether it’s a message from father to daughter like “Daddy’s girl” or a message from husband to wife “True love forever”, the message can have lifelong meaning for the user.
7. Personalize your wedding ring. One of the times in your life when you buy a ring for a specific function is when you select your wedding ring. Consider engraving your wedding date or names on the inside of the ring.
8. Reuse an old ring. We often inherit or receive as gifts rings that belonged to family members. If the stones are beautiful but the setting is not ideal, consider resetting it. A jeweler can design a specific setting for her tastes.
9. Design your own ring. Jewelry making clubs exist throughout the country. If you have a flair for creativity, consider joining a club to learn how to design and create your own ring.
10. Have a jeweler personalize a ring just for you. Whether you find a jeweler online or locally, many talented artisans are available to guide you as you create a custom ring design.
When looking for a truly unique gift, it’s hard to go wrong with a beautiful personalized ring. Consider these suggestions the next time you want that extra special gift.
