Frequently Asked Questions

How do I secretly find out my partner’s ring size?

Borrow a ring they wear on the correct finger to measure it or trace one onto paper and consult a jeweller. Another way is to compare the size of your fingers to your partner’s and see which one is closest in size – we can then measure your finger to find out your partner’s size. Friends or family can also help!

What if my partner doesn’t like the engagement ring I choose?

We offer an exchange option for our ready-to-wear rings that have not been resized for you.

To figure out what your partner might prefer, look for clues about rings she likes and talk to her friends or family. If she wears a lot of silver jewellery, she would probably prefer a platinum or a white gold ring, and if she favours yellow or rose gold, then choosing those metals would be a great option. Skin tone and overall style and colours of her wardrobe would also provide clues about her preferences. Opting for classic simplicity is often a great choice, as elegance never goes out of style.

If the ring is not a surprise, a custom engagement ring process can include your partner – this way you can’t get it wrong!

What’s the most meaningful way to customise an engagement ring?

Choose a centre stone that has meaning to you both and incorporate personal elements - birthstones, initials, or motifs inspired by your relationship. A bespoke setting lets your story shine.

What’s the most practical engagement ring for everyday wear?

Low-profile settings and durable materials like platinum offer lasting wearability. Bezel settings also protect the stone well.

Should I get a wedding band that matches the engagement ring?

Choosing a wedding band that matches your engagement ring can create a timeless, cohesive look, especially if you love symmetry and a clean aesthetic. Many couples opt for matching metals, styles or stone settings to create a seamless bridal set. However, mixing metals or incorporating contrasting textures or shapes can add personal flair and modern character to your ring stack. The most important consideration is how the two rings sit together — comfort, balance, and overall design harmony are key. Whether you prefer a perfect match or a more eclectic combination, we can help you find or create a wedding band that complements your engagement ring beautifully.

How can I make my engagement ring look bigger without increasing carat weight?

Choosing a halo setting, a slim band, or a high-quality cut helps to enhance visual size and sparkle.

How to choose the perfect engagement ring

Choosing the right engagement ring starts with picking the perfect centre stone, be it a diamond, a sapphire, or another gemstone. However there is a lot more involved – the process requires understanding your partner's lifestyle, taste, and the symbolic meaning you might like to imbue in the ring. Think about their daily routine – are they very active? Do they work with their hands? Are they drawn to classic elegance, modern minimalism or intricate designs? Whether you go down the path of exploring custom engagement rings or purchase a ready-to-wear ring, the perfect choice comes down to thoughtful attention to your partner’s style and preferences and the expression of their individuality.

Custom engagement rings vs ready to wear rings

Custom engagement rings give you the freedom to tell your love story through design. Whether it's a hidden birthstone, an engraving, or a bespoke setting designed completely from scratch, customisation ensures every element has personal significance. Explore our bespoke jewellery design process to learn how we can bring your vision to life.

How do I spot high quality craftsmanship in an engagement ring?

Look for the perfect finish, smooth edges, balanced, symmetrical prongs, and a secure, polished setting. Artisanal designer engagement rings often showcase superior quality diamonds and gemstones, individual touches and unique design signatures. Quality is seen not only in the materials but also in the artistry.

Sapphire vs. diamond engagement rings – which one is right for you?

Sapphire engagement rings are celebrated for unique range of colours, from the traditional blues to oceanic teals, forest greens, sunny yellows, feminine pinks, as well as oranges, purples, peach tones, Padparadscha and more! Sapphires carry wonderful symbolic meaning of loyalty, wisdom and eternal love. They are also durable, making them a practical as well as distinctive alternative. Explore our sapphire engagement ring collection and our handpicked loose sapphires available to be set into bespoke jewellery.

Diamonds remain a very popular choice for engagement rings due to their unmatched brilliance, beauty and enduring symbolism. From classic solitaires, to elegant trilogy designs and intricate halos, explore our diamond engagement ring collection.
