How To Make Your Own Custom Engagement Ring

Creating a custom engagement ring is a special journey for any couple’s love story. While the process might seem daunting, it allows you to control every detail, from the ethical sourcing of the diamond to the intricacy of the setting, down to the very last detail.

How Much to Spend on an Engagement Ring?

The old "three months' salary" rule is a marketing gimmick and a thing of the past. Today, the right amount to spend is whatever feels financially comfortable for your specific situation. At Panther Jewelry, we believe in value over a price tag. Our experts help you balance the "4 Cs" (Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat) to ensure you get a stunning, prestigious handmade engagement ring that fits your budget perfectly without compromising on the looks and aesthetics. 

How Many Karats in an Engagement Ring?

When people ask about karats, they are usually referring to two different things: the weight of the diamond (Carats) or the purity of the gold (Karats).

For the Gold: 14k or 18k gold is the standard for engagement rings. 14k is the more popular and affordable option, while 18k offers a richer hue.

For the Diamond: While the 1.00-carat mark is a popular milestone, the right size is subjective. Choosing a slightly lower carat weight (like 0.90) can often save you significantly while looking identical to the naked eye. 

Where Should You Buy An Engagement Ring?

While the convenience of the internet is tempting, we urge you to never buy an engagement ring online without seeing it in person. Apart from the lifetime commitment, it is a high-emotion, high-value purchase that requires a physical touchpoint. You should buy from a reputable local jeweler, such as Panther Jewelry, who offers transparency and all the perks and benefits you search for in a ring supplier and jeweler. On top of it, buying locally in Montreal ensures you have a dedicated partner to care for the ring for decades to come.

Do Guys Wear Engagement Rings?

Absolutely! Male engagement rings are a growing trend worldwide. Whether it’s a simple band or a diamond-encrusted custom design, more men are choosing to wear a symbol of their commitment during the engagement period. We specialize in creating sophisticated custom rings for men that complement their personal style, no matter their preference.

How to Wear Engagement Ring and Wedding Band?

Traditionally, the wedding band goes on the finger first, followed by the engagement ring. Think of it this way, the engagement ring is closer to your heart because it symbolizes your eternal love. However, many couples are now opting for custom-contoured wedding bands designed specifically to nest against the engagement ring, creating a seamless, sparkling set.
