When selecting a Valentine’s Day gift for the special lady in your life, keep in mind that “It’s the thought that counts”. In actuality, the gift you give often serves as a demonstration of how you have taken time to know her interests, likes and dislikes. By taking steps to make a gift personal, like a handmade promise ring, it will be meaningful.

Handmade Ring Gift
Jewelry making now is one of the most popular areas of hobby hand crafts, and such kind of gift has been accepted by more and more people. For Valentine’s Day, it would be great creating her a promise ring. Well, since it is difficult to find the proper ring-making supplies and know how to use them, the making of promise ring is often less pursued.

Here, I would like to share some ring-making supplies.

Sheet Metal
You can use sheet metal to make handmade promise ring of any design you like. If you are in a limit budget, think about cheap metals like sheet silver, brass and copper rather than gold, diamond, or platinum.

Metal Clay
Well, metal clay can be a common material for making rings. It allows you to create the ring in customized size and shape. Silver, bronze, and gold clays are often used in making rings. Besides, you can use polymer clay to replace the metal clay.

Gemstones
Usually, gemstone beads, actually birthstones, have been used in metal rings. For Valentine’s Day gift, I suggest choose her birthstone in heart shape, and red or pink color. Adding the birthstone will make the promise ring look more thoughtful.

Promise Ring Etiquette
Why promise ring wonderful Valentine’s Day gift? It’s special meaning counts a lot. A promise ring is a spiritual commitment; it is traditional for the person to make the promise. What’s more, promise ring is not only used for romantic commitment, but also uphold values of friendship, and family.
