A look at how we create bespoke engagement rings

Making bespoke engagement rings is a process that starts with the design. We are proud to say we work with award winning jewellery designers on our team, designers who have achieved the pinnacle of success in the jewellery industry.

Our client will have liaised with our team and to develop a design. They will have seen the finished design we have created using the latest CAD technology. This process will have taken approximately 2 weeks. They may have visited us by appointment to see how their bespoke engagement rings are coming along.

The manufacturing process

It is worth knowing that if a client chooses 18 carat gold, it will be 75% pure. This is because gold is a very soft metal, and it needs to be mixed with an alloy to make it more durable.

We use only ethical diamonds, sourced from producers who maintain the highest environmental and social standards. These diamonds are chosen for their clarity, cut and colour and of course their weight, which is known as the carat. One carat is equal to one fifth of a gram. You can learn more about the four Cs on our diamond grading page.

Our goldsmith will cast the client’s ring, and when he is satisfied with the quality, the ring will be hallmarked at the London assay office. Only then will our setter work on the chosen diamonds, before the ring is polished and then boxed for presentation to the client.
