Why Make Your Own Wedding Rings?
1. Your Rings Will Be Personal To You
Your rings will be with you for life, so they should reflect your personality and style. By hand-carving your very own wedding bands, you are in total control of what you make. From classic styles with hidden details to organic shapes and textures with dazzling stones. Anything goes!
Finish with your own individual quirks and hidden details. Such as adding your partners’ fingerprint to the inside, a birthstone, or your wedding date engraved into the band as well as the option to add stones and engravings. However you decide to personalise your rings, you’re guaranteed to love what you make.
Personal to you, personalised by you. Does it get any more bespoke than that?
2. Your Wedding Rings Will Be The Only Pair In Existence, Ever
Perhaps the coolest part of what CAST do and it makes the process of making your own wedding rings even more special. You’re not only hand-carving your wedding rings together, but you’re also carving an entirely unique and sentimental heirloom. All at the same time!
Every wedding ring created is totally unique and exactly as you envisioned. Whether you want to make a ring that will fit perfectly around your engagement ring, or incorporate your own stones into a design. The ring that you create will be completely unique to you. One-of-one, 100% bespoke and utterly beautiful.
3. You Can Make Each Other’s Rings
Planning a wedding can be stressful at times and making your own bands together gives you and your partner a chance to take some time out to remember why you’re getting married. As well as celebrating your love for one another by creating something utterly unique and special.
It’s such a fun and creative experience that you can share together and also gives you the opportunity to learn a new skill and bond over a shared experience. However you decide to create your rings, the experience in itself is breathtaking and something to be shared together, forever.
4. Your Ring Can Fit With Your Engagement Ring
Finding a ring to fit around a uniquely shaped engagement ring is something that a lot of couples struggle with. The beauty of making your own wedding rings is that you can design and handcraft your ring so that the two sit perfectly together.
You can quite literally hand-carve the exact shape you want, no matter how obscure the design. Problem solved!
5. It’s Super Easy
The best bit? Is that anyone can make their own rings. You need ZERO skill or experience! It may sound daunting, but one of the best parts about creating your own rings is that you don’t need any experience, creativity or skill at all to make the rings of your dreams.
