Oh baby, the ring. Let’s face it– some girls are secretly more excited about the ring than the actual proposal. Of course it’s a big deal. After all, it is a symbol of your love, right? However, some girls don’t want just any ring that every girl and her sister has. She wants it to be special. She wants it to be unique. It’s enough pressure to make a guy’s head spin. Looking for some way to make your ring perfect for her and one of a kind? We’ve got you covered with these simple tips.

1) Design the ring your self
My cousin’s fiance designed the ring for their engagement through Blue Nile and it’s absolutely stunning.  Other guys sometimes seek out the diamond first, buy it and then find a jeweler to custom craft the piece for their lady in a way that has never been done before. Not only is it unique, this method of ring picking definitely shows your lady that you’re keeping her in mind.

2) Have it engraved
Maybe you can’t afford the custom route, but never fear! You still have options. Pick out the ring you think she’ll like and go the extra mile by having it engraved. The possibilities are endless of what special little message you can put on the inside of the ring. Maybe the date you proposed? Your initials? A Bible Verse? Or even a cute inside joke! She’ll feel like the ring is extra personal with this special touch.

3) Go the colored or gem stone diamond approach
Sure, diamonds are a girl’s best friend but that doesn’t mean that’s your only option. Black, yellow and pink diamonds are all very cool and extremely eye catching. Also gemstone rings are getting bigger now so maybe opt for that sapphire or ruby like some famous couples are doing these days. Don’t want to be too risky? Make the main diamond traditional and spice up the ring with colored stones on the side. It’s a beautiful setting that’ll have her feeling special for the rest of her life.
