    The most special, one-of-a-kind way to propose to your lover is by giving her a custom made engagement ring.  Customizing engagement rings is becoming increasingly popular but the way it is done will all depend upon what you consider custom.  You can go online to a website where you can pick a particular style, stone, and setting and add an engraving.  This may be customized enough for some but if you really want, you can even hire a designer to help you create the ring that you are envisioning in your mind. 
    Keep Your Budget in Mind
    Obviously it’s going to be a lot more expensive if you hire a jewelry maker to create a 100% custom made engagement ring for you.  You can save money by just going to a large jeweler, flipping through designs, and picking the one you want.  However, there are also jewelry companies out there with expert designers on their team who can incorporate your ideas into the design while maintaining a practical and realistic vision. They can also make a ring with your budget in mind. 
    In order to be able to create the custom made engagement ring of your dreams, you need to research your options.  Contact companies that make custom rings.They can let you know an approximate figure telling how much the it will cost in order to make the ring you want. 
    Of course you can save some money if you don’t get a custom diamond engagement ring.  Diamonds are notoriously expensive.  You can use your fiancé’s birthstone or another gemstone she likes instead.Also platinum is very popular but it is expensive.  You can save money by getting white gold instead. 
    Nowadays creating custom made engagement rings is a lot less expensive than it used to be due to advances in technology.  Companies can use jewelry design software to digitally design jewelry.  It is a lot cheaper as a result.  The greatest thing about design software is that you can see the end result without waiting nervously to see what it will look like when it is done. 
    Do yourself a favor and get a custom made engagement ring for your fiancé.  It is the best, most personal way you can propose.  You can create a ring that is one-of-a-kind and catered to your fiancé’s tastes rather than just purchase a ring that thousands of other people own.  There is no better way to add a personal touch to your engagement.
