The piece they will wear for a lifetime
Engagement Rings.
A ring designed around the stone, the hand it sits on, and the person who will wear it. We make engagement rings to commission - working with you on every choice from the diamond through to the final polish, all from our Rose Bay bench.
Section I
Three ways to begin.
Designed from scratch. A four-step custom process - consult, design, approve, make. You will see sketches, digital renders, and (often) a wax model before any metal is cut. Most of these take two to four weeks from first conversation to collection.
Around an existing stone. You already have the diamond - a family stone, a piece inherited, or one chosen from a separate viewing. We design the setting around it. Most settings take three to five weeks once the design is approved.
From the shop. A handful of finished engagement rings sit on our bench at any given moment. If one speaks to you, it can go on a finger that afternoon. Resizing is on us within the first six months.

The diamond comes first.
We source diamonds per consultation rather than keeping a fixed inventory. Tell us what you are after - shape, carat, colour, clarity, budget - and we will bring in a curated selection of three to five stones to compare in person.
We work with both naturally mined and lab grown diamonds, and we will talk you through the trade-offs honestly. Coloured stones too - sapphires, emeralds, paraiba tourmalines, and the occasional padparadscha when one finds us.
Section III - The setting
Styles we work in.
Halo
A central stone surrounded by smaller diamonds, making the centre stone read larger. Beautiful in pavé or hand-set bead patterns.
Three-stone
One central diamond flanked by two smaller stones. Traditionally said to represent past, present, future. Works well with coloured side stones.
Vintage
Drawn from art deco, Edwardian, and mid-century reference points. We hand-engrave gallery work and pierce by hand where the design calls for it.
Section IV - Cost
Budget set in the open.
Most engagement rings we make sit between $4,000 and $30,000, with the great majority in the $6,000 to $15,000 range. The cost is mostly the stone - a setting in 18ct gold with hand-set diamonds typically lands between $2,000 and $5,000.
We set a clear budget in the first conversation and never move past it without asking. If a lab grown stone gets you more for the same budget, we will say so. If a smaller natural stone holds more long-term value, we will say that too.
