Wedding Band for Unique ooak Ring

Meaghan, on January 11, 2020 at 11:21 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 8
So, I'm already married and the intent was that I would have a single ring because of how unique my engagement ring is. It turns out that I want all the shiny things and have been thinking of finding a wedding band that works. I'd like to avoid custom ring costs because I feel like I'm being a bit extra already. I'm not looking for anything matchy matchy. I want a sort of curated, asymmetric, carefully mismatched look anyway. But I'm at a bit of a loss of whether any typical wedding band (straight, curved, chevron, etc) will work. I'm hoping people more creative than I might have some thoughts.

And for fun, here are pictures of some of my inspiration pics with wedding bands (I know these are custom made to match). Any thoughts on what to start looking for would be appreciated as I just don't know what might work.Wedding Band for Unique ooak Ring 2Wedding Band for Unique ooak Ring 3Wedding Band for Unique ooak Ring 4

    I found this site www.custommade.com
    They are based in the States but I've been talking to a consultant and they've been very responsive... and the price seems pretty good, way better than I was fearing even with conversion. They can't do something that fits against my ring so they sent me sketches of a complementary ring. They work fast because they had sketches to me within 24 hours. I may go with them.
    This is my favourite of the sketches they sent me. I've asked for some revisions but I think this is close. Wedding Band for Unique ooak Ring 5

    I would suggest going to small jewelry shops and doing it custom but tell them you have a budget and see what they can work out for you

    As an update... I found an online jeweller that does custom work for pretty reasonable amounts. I like their work.
    So we've talked about what I'm looking for and they are going to do some sketches for me with quotes. Their base price is a lot better than I was expecting. We will see what they come back with.

    Thanks... I think I just needed a bit of a push to look at what I really wanted.

    You could also consider cheaper options for your band as well. If you went with lab created white sapphires and a low carat gold, you can save money and still have a ring that looks drop dead gorgeous to anyone who isn’t an appraiser.

    I would get a quote. It can't hurt anything. That way you know how much you'll pay for what you really want opposed to what you may feel is more affordable. The numbers may not be as far out as you think.

    Yeah, I know my engagement ring without any of the stones was $1500 so I've assumed a custom wedding band would start there and go up dramatically if I want diamonds, too. Maybe I'm wrong... I'm just not able to justify that right now. It seems so appealing to get something I like for a few hundred but that may not be possible either.
    I guess I could go where I had it made and just get a quote.

    Have you been to a custom ring place yet? It may be worth getting a quote. It is something you will wear everyday. It may be worth paying a little extra to really get what you want....since you are already married you can take as long as you want to pay it off.
