You found each other, someone proposed and someone accepted, and now you've agreed on a wedding date. And you have one more suggestion that will keep you trouble free for the rest of your life, no matter how late you go on some days. You suggested making your own wedding rings instead of custom engraved opal wedding rings. You can make your own wedding rings to match the bride's dress.
There are several metals from which you can make your own opal stud earrings: white gold, gold, silver and titanium. In the UK, you can even make your own wedding rings from regular nickels. Cool, a wedding ring for five cents! There is also tungsten, but this option is not really recommended because the steel burs that most hospitals use will not remove the ring; so if your fingers swell, you're in trouble because the suction cup can't be removed.
Ringly ideas for your Opal Necklace
There are also several gemstone options to choose from when making your own wedding rings. There's always a traditional girl's best friend, the trusty old diamond. Don't miss the glistening piece of coal, it's a seductive pearl and other family favorites rubies, opals or emeralds. If stones aren't your thing, you can go stoneless.
When you make your own wedding rings, you can have engravings if you want to add them. Accent stones are perfectly acceptable, as are zodiac symbols. Confessing undying love is also another great idea. The possibilities are endless except for the name of an old ex-girlfriend; which could get you into big trouble. You can also give the rings a brushed look.
Besides the creative plus of wanting to make your own wedding rings, there is also the fact that they are very budget friendly. The reason they're so much cheaper is because you're not paying for the designer's name. If done right, the rings will become more sentimental as you age together.
Some couples choose to have vows engraved on their rings, and some men put dates on their bands as a reminder to keep them from buying that expensive ring to get them out of trouble when they forget their anniversary. Some couples choose to make rings out of bones. It may seem strange, but as they say "to each his own".
