If you are planning to propose to your partner and are ready to go ring shopping, you may have many things on your mind. One of those things might be making sure that the engagement ring you pick out is unique and perfectly suited to your partner's tastes and style. This can be a daunting task to undertake. However, there are ways that you can go about making the uniqueness factor easier to come by. Get to know some of the ways you can make sure your engagement ring is as unique as the love you have for your partner. Then, you can be sure you find the perfect ring for the perfect proposal. 

Look at Antique Jewelry

When you want something unique, elegant, and downright gorgeous for an engagement ring, one of the best things you can do is look for antique jewelry. Antique jewelry is often of the highest quality as it has lasted, in good condition, for many years. The settings, stones, and the like are also often quite stunning and unique. Rings from the 1920s, for example, can have an art deco setting style that you just don't see as often in rings made today. In fact, the high quality and stone clarity of these rings is something you just don't always see today unless you are shopping in the highest-end stores. 

Vintage and antique jewelry is very much in fashion. You will be showing your partner that you respect their uniqueness and want to give them an engagement ring that truly matches what they mean to you. As such, go to antique stores and look online at antique dealers. You will be guaranteed to find a ring that blows you away. 

Reset Antique Jewelry

Another option available to you is to reset or customize a piece of antique jewelry you find shopping. You will still get the uniqueness of an antique piece but can modernize it or fix it up a bit. For example, if you find a ring that you love but the setting is a little damaged, have the stone reset. You can even have the jeweler match the original style of the antique jewelry. Alternatively, you can take the uniquely cut stone and place it in a whole new setting. The possibilities are endless with antique jewelry for engagement rings.

Now that you know a few ways to make sure your engagement ring is unique, you can start looking at antique jewelry stores right away. Contact an antique jewelry service for more information.
