If you have any secret reasons or details that you want to be known by only you. You can ask the jeweler to put some details (initials or dates) into the ring's gallery (the part under the ring's stone). The gallery is a splendid area to have meaningful things in your life encrypted on, and only you and your loved one know about this. 

If you inherited an engagement ring and want to add some stone or design on it, you can discuss it with the jewelry designer. It is good to have a vintage ring that has sentimental value, and then incorporate some new designs to it so that it will have more memories when you use it again as your engagement ring. 

If you're a trendsetter and you don't want just another traditional ring, and you've been to a lot of jewelry stores but still weren't able that ring that you want. You can design the engagement ring that you have in mind using good computer software (or you can just sketch it on paper if you can draw) then presenting it to the jeweler. It is much better that you work with a jeweler that you trust or know about and admired.
