You probably already have a general idea of what kind of wedding band that you want to get him, but to ensure you know all of your options, take some time to really consider the style of ring he would like to wear. After that you can start the design process.

There are endless possibilities when designing your own ring. You can opt for both precious metals and alternative metals. Take note if he is allergic opt for a titanium ring.
One thing that
Jewelry by Johan is known for is their use of alternative metals. Including titanium, tungsten carbide, damascus stainless steel and ceramic. Along with these metals, they incorporate unconventional elements into their designs including
exotic wood rings,
dinosaur bone rings,
antler rings,
meteorite rings, and other naturally unique elements.
Living in Idaho there are lots of antlers around that are naturally shed around here. At Jewelry by Johan you can send them your found deer antlers and have a ring made out deer antler. Perfect for the outdoorsman.
After you determine the metal it is time to decide if you want a classic polished look or he is a bit more on the rustic side and would prefer a hammered or sandblasted finish.

If you know he would like a little bling, you could incorporate his favorite or your birthstone into your wedding his band.
After you’ve got a general idea of what you want, determine a comfortable price range. You’re probably wondering why this isn’t the first step, but there’s a good reason why. When you’re designing custom rings, there is a lot of flexibility with materials of varying costs that can still give you the look and style desired.

Fall in love with a ring style and THEN working with a jeweler who can make it happen. For example, if you love the look of platinum, you can craft a virtually identical ring with silver or titanium for a lower price WITHOUT sacrificing the design you want. Similarly, gemstones of similar colors are interchangeable; a white sapphire or moissanite can be used in lieu of a more costly diamond. Or, provide your own gemstone and cut your price down even more.
Once you have an idea of your ring design and your budget, bring your idea – sketch it or print out similar photos and mark them up – to a custom jeweler who can work with you to design your rings. You’ll want to find a jeweler who will listen and make you feel comfortable and confident that they are going to create exactly what you want.
The jeweler will help you determine your ring size and order your final masterpiece. Be sure to order your custom ring at least 2 months before you plan to propose or your wedding day. He will wear the ring you designed with pride, knowing that no one else in the world has anything like it. And it’s okay to brag to everyone and tell them that you designed a remarkable work of wearable art that represents your endless love.
