Custom vs. ready-to-wear engagement rings: What’s best for you?

Learn if creating a bespoke ring or choosing a ready-made ring is the right decision for you.

Get insider bespoke jewellery tips & exclusive offers. Join the list.

Whether you will be the wearer or the proposer, choosing an engagement ring is a deeply personal journey.

 

Should you create a bespoke ring, or choose a ready-made expert-designed ring? Read on to decide which option is most aligned with your vision.

The charm of choosing a pre-set ring

Ready-made does not mean mass-produced. ‘Pre-set’ is a jewellery industry term that refers to a ring that has been expertly designed by a jeweller without any involvement from a customer. A pre-set ring is a treasure just waiting to be discovered - perhaps by you!

We carefully curate our stone and ring-setting pairings to create one-of-a-kind rings imbued with beauty and intention. Each signature Molten Store ring celebrates the unique qualities of the gemstone or diamond set within.


Choosing a ready-to-wear engagement ring is an ideal choice if you value:

1. Certainty

The beauty of hand-selecting your engagement ring is that you get to explore every detail of your ring up-close before you make your final decision.

 

By choosing an expert-designed ring, you can avoid having to imagine what your end result will look like, and instead compare different designs, gemstones and settings in real-time, making it much easier to find your perfect match.

2. Immediacy

For those on a time-crunch, or who simply don't enjoy waiting, opting for a ready-to-wear ring means you can skip the (sometimes lengthy) bespoke production times.

 

By opting for an expert-designed ring, you can take your dream piece home to wear or propose with, as soon as you've found The One

3. Serendipity

There's a certain fateful magic in finding an engagement ring that feels like it's been waiting just for you to discover it.

 

While going down the path of bespoke can give you the opportunity to put a personal touch on your ring, there is an extra-special sentiment in discovering a ring that embodies your vision and sparks an undeniable connection to you and your story.
