Our experience with Maria has been the best! She is super lovely and attentive. She listened to what we were after and made professional suggestions to help along the way. We are both super happy with the ring, it turned out perfect! Thank you Maria!!!

A simply wonderful experience with Maria. I arrived with ideas for a pretty different engagement ring design, which ended up needing some changing due to practicality. Maria walked me through the different options, helped craft a new design and was patient while I let it settle, before helping craft the finishing touches to make it the perfect ring. It was a thoroughly enjoyable process and the result is outstanding, my fiancee is over the moon and as a result, so am I! Highly recommend for personalised service, and outstanding design capability and craftsmanship.

When my boyfriend and I decided to get engaged, I stumbled across Maria’s beautiful designs and became obsessed with them! ...As we live in the UK, we were initially wary about making such a significant purchase online but needn’t have worried. We had several online appointments with Maria to discuss the ring’s design and the whole process was very enjoyable. Maria was very professional and we were so impressed with her ideas and the all the amazing sapphires that she showed us. Maria also went to great lengths to account for the fact that we couldn’t visit the shop in person by sending us a mountain of photographs and videos of gems to help with the decision making process. We were both so excited to receive the product (both engagement ring and wedding band) and they exceeded our expectations! The design, workmanship and sapphire are absolutely exceptional and make the ring a truly special piece of jewellery. I don’t think my fiancée (!) and I will ever tire of looking at it and I’m so glad we chose Lizunova Jewellery.

Maria was amazing at helping guide me through the whole experience of designing a custom engagement ring for my fiance. The process from concepts through to design, modelling and finishing was a dream and the finished ring is simply stunning. I would definitely recommend Maria for anyone not knowing where to start in getting a one of a kind engagement ring made

Maria was fantastic to deal with, making my partner and I feel welcome and content at every step from our initial consultation to the delivery of the final products. Maria was rapid to respond to all our questions and kept us informed throughout the process, leaving my partner and I overwhelmingly delighted with both the design process and the final bespoke engagement ring and wedding bands. If you are after bespoke jewellery and ideal customer service then I cannot recommend Lizunova enough.

Reviews Sydney jeweller Lizunova Fine Jewels Chifley Square Fantastic service and sizing of one of your beautiful engagement rings. We're both very happy with it. Thanks again.
Shaun Kalajzic, Cadoux, Western Australia
The best customer service experience I've come across. It was a pleasure dealing with Maria who was patient and offered as many options as possible until we found the best ring for me. Having just had a bad experience with another jeweller, I couldn't believe my luck when I found Maria who was amazing and helped me choose my beautiful ring. Everything was done online - over one Skype meeting and numerous emails, so you definintely don't need to be in Sydney to get something from Maria. Thanks so much, I LOVE my ring 🙂

My husband and I got our bespoke wedding bands designed by Maria and we could not recommend her enough. We had a tight time scale due to a surprise honeymoon and she did everything possible to make sure they were ready for us. The service, quality and efficiency were all so above and beyond from the minute we first spoke to the final rings. She was an honest dream to work with for something so special, and her other products are so divine we will definitely be back!

I approached Maria with a loose concept of what I wanted for an engagement ring. She was wonderful to work with and took my ideas on board and it was a collaborative process made easy with her vision and approach; not to mention the number of incredible gemstones we had to work with! I'm really happy with the result, having struck a perfect balance of timeless elegance and contemporary design. My fiancé absolutely loves it and gets daily comments and compliments.

We use Australian ring size measurements, which are in an alphabetical range from A-Z.
As your fingers contract and expand due to the temperature, humidity, exercise, etc, your ring will fit on your finger tighter or looser. Your ring should fit comfortably and you need to find a balance between too big and too small. It is recommended that you should have to push your ring on tightly over your knuckle and it should spin slightly around the base of your finger. There should be some resistance when the ring is taken off – this will help to keep the ring on when your fingers are cold or wet. The correct size is the one that you feel the most confident and comfortable with.
We suggest that you size the finger you intend to wear your ring on at room temperature – this should provide you with a size that should be close to perfect most of the time.
Top-heavy rings can tend to spin on your finger, as the base of your finger is usually thinner than your knuckle. We suggest when sizing your finger for a top-heavy ring, that you err on the tighter side, rather than a loose fit. This will mean that the ring will stay on the top of your finger and it will ultimately be more comfortable to wear.
If you’re choosing a wide ring, you will tend to go up a size. There is more surface area on a wider ring and therefore more metal to grip to your finger.
If you are interested in a ring that is 5mm or wider, we suggest going up a size (one size larger than the sizing gauge). We suggest going up another size if the ring you are interested in is 9mm or larger (two sizes larger than the sizing gauge).
If you are buying a ring as a gift for someone, we recommend that you measure the inside diameter of a ring the person you’re buying the gift for, regularly wears on the finger your gift will be worn on.
If you do not know your ring size you can use this guide to obtain an approximate measurement.
Before measuring the finger on which the ring you’re purchasing will be worn, please ensure the following:
The number that lines up with edges of the opening is the ‘interior circumference’. Please note this number and then refer to our Ring Size Chart to choose the correct ring size.
If you do not know your ring size you can use this guide to obtain an approximate measurement.
If you have a ring that is worn on the finger you need sizing, print out the ring size guide (take care to print it at 100%), and place the existing ring over the circles. Measure the inside of the ring against the outside of the circle. If you can hardly see the black line which goes around each circle, you have chosen the right size. Compare the ring to the adjacent circles to check that you definitely have the right size.
You can then double check this measurement by measuring the inside diameter of the ring, and matching that against the ring diameter measurements shown.
Alternatively, if you don’t have a ring available, you can measure the finger itself to obtain an approximate ring size. You can do so by wrapping a piece of string or thin strip of paper around the finger on which you wish to wear the ring, marking it with a pen where it overlaps. Measure the piece of string with a ruler to obtain the circumference of the finger, and compare that to the European Size measurement shown on the chart. We would recommend that in order to obtain the most accurate measurement when taking your ring size in this way, you do so at the end of the day when the finger is at its largest, and not when your hands are unusually cold as this would lead to a smaller ring size.
If you require any further assistance in obtaining your ring size, please contact us and we will be happy to help.
