Designing Hand Crafted Engagement Rings
Designing engagement rings is an exciting time for the buyer and the designer alike. A hands-on process that involves stone selection, setting and material selection, drawings, and final CAD-rendered plans, every ring is brought to life through the craftsmanship of our expert in-shop team.
For those new to the market, our entire process traditionally looks like this when designing your engagement ring in our Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne studio:
1. Contact Our Team
Clients connect with one of our studios to book an appointment and begin the review and design process.
2. Confirm price point, ideal metals, and potential stones
We confirm your expected budget, potential stones, and materials. Among the most common metals used to create rings are yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, and platinum. Our master jewellers can review the benefits of each before you decide.
3. Review Recommended Settings and Diamonds
Based on these decisions, our team will present a select number of diamond ring settings, stones, and materials that meet your aesthetic vision and price needs.
4. Confirm stone grade and certification.
On closer inspection, some of our clients will want further information about their stone’s source, certification, or grade, whereas other clients will want to see several stone grades, carat sizes, and colours before deciding.
5. Review Design Plans
After material selection, our team creates a mock-up of the expected outcome, which the client reviews and confirms. From side stones to band engraving, we design dream rings by making them personalised for you and your loved one. Discover some of our recently completed rose gold and white gold rings handmade in the shop for inspiration.
6. Confirm Lead Time
The design process can vary based on your selected stone availability. If the chosen stone is in stock, our team will be able to schedule in studio time more quickly than stones that need to be sourced and secured. Your designer will be able to confirm lead time during the process once the final material selection has been decided.
7. See Your Final Engagement Ring in Real Time
Your ring is finalised and ready for review. The hard work is done -we welcome you to visit one of our studios in person or we can offer secure delivery for regionally based customers. With your ring in hand, we’ll sign off your project with the best care instructions and well wishes for the years to come.
8. Post-purchase Support Options
Need additional support post-purchase? Our craftsmen are always available for post-purchase support, best care guidance, and adjustments, if needed. Please speak with your designer about ring warranties, size adjustments, and care practices at the time of purchase.
