It helps to ensure that you are comfortable with the amount you are spending and that you can make informed choices about the design elements of your ring. A budget can also help guide the design process and prevent any unnecessary delays or disappointments.

Choose Materials

When designing a custom engagement ring, choosing the right materials is key to achieving the desired look and feel. At Wilson & Son Jewelers, we offer a wide range of metals, including classic options like platinum, white gold, and yellow gold, as well as more unique options like rose gold and mixed metals. We also offer a selection of gemstones and diamonds to incorporate into the design. Diamonds are a mainstay for engagement rings, but we also provide other gemstones, such as sapphires, rubies, and emeralds. The selection of materials ultimately comes down to personal preference, style, and budget.
