The Wedding Band and Engagement Ring:
The good news is brides can now personalize a DIY wedding ring according to their preference of metal type, design and diamond shape. While ring options are aplenty, the feeling of owning one which truly represents you and your partner is quite wonderful.

Reasons Online Ring Retailers are recommended for DIY Brides:
(for example in Goldenet)
- They are more knowledgeable in custom made rings and can guide you through the step by step process of selecting the ring setting + diamond specification according to the conception you have in mind.
- Value for money: Quality of the ring is better than retail jewelers with the same amount of money paid. They have a larger inventory of certified diamonds and fine jewelry. Cost is lower as they are able to cut out the middlemen, eliminate mark ups and sales hassles.
- Gemological certificate accompanies all their diamonds.
- You have more time to choose, compare and decide on the perfect ring.
