Is a custom ring a good wedding gift?

I went through this exact decision last year.

What My Jeweler Said

My bench jeweler told me the main thing people regret is skimping on the setting. The stone itself is fine, but a weak prong will let it fall out. Spend a bit more on a solid setting.

Bottom Line

Yes, it is worth it for most people. Just buy from a known seller and inspect the prongs every six months.

Let me break this down clearly. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

Here is what I have found after researching for weeks. Yes, I have had mine for two years and it still looks great. Just clean it regularly with soap and water.

I went through this exact decision last year. I compared Etsy and Pandora before deciding. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.

Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.
