No. A custom-designed wedding ring used to mean that your ring was one of a kind. Now, many online engagement and wedding ring sites use the word “custom” when you are choosing from predetermined, generic components, almost like putting together a big-box-store kitchen. The ring may then be assembled overseas and shipped to Canada. A designer wedding ring is a more high-end option, created by a jewellery designer whose work, design process and aesthetic you can see, allowing you to choose a ring because the designer's point of view speaks to you.
