Why 3D print your engagement or wedding ring? It\u2019s no secret that these precious metals are some of the most expensive on the market – but when you 3D print with Shapeways, you\u2019re the designer. Which means that you can forgo the markup cost that comes along with big name brands, and you can focus on the item that is specially made for you and your loved one.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve deciphered some of the best things about our precious metals collection to help you pick the right material for your wedding ring.<\/p>\n

If your love is strong, beautiful and precious, than Platinum<\/strong> is the material for you. Known for its incredible strength and sparkle, platinum is a unique, high-quality engagement or wedding ring material that will be as everlasting as the love you share with your partner.<\/p>\n

Celebrate the softer side of yourself with a Gold<\/strong> engagement or wedding ring. \u00a0You can either stick with tradition with our 14K and 18K Gold, or select a more contemporary gold material, such as White or Rose Gold.<\/p>\n

We recommend:<\/strong> Prototype your design in detail plastics and then silver before taking the platinum plunge. In gold, consider printing your proof-of-concept in brass, bronze, or our plated precious metals.<\/p>\n

We also have Precious Plated materials<\/a>,<\/a> such as 14K, 18K, Rhodium and Rose gold. While these are not the best selection for your engagement ring or wedding band as they can tarnish or chip with constant, every day wear, they are a great choice for limited wear items, such as hair clips and matching accessories for your special day.<\/p>\n
