Why I’ve Created This Guide

Buying an engagement ring is often a first-time experience, and like any significant purchase, it requires careful research. This isn’t just an emotional decision—it’s also a financial investment you want to get right.

Many of my clients are surprised by the number of questions I ask when starting a ring order. After years of designing and crafting engagement and wedding rings, I’ve created this guide to share all the essential ingredients that make up the perfect engagement ring.

Client reviews

What our previous bespoke engagement ring clients have to say

From the start Amy has been so helpful and friendly. She’s helped to put my idea into a beautiful engagement ring that I could not be happier with. She always made the tiny tweaks I asked for without a fuss, was very responsive on whatsapp and always explained everything I asked in a simple way. Her prices are very competitive which was also part of my reason for choosing but mostly it was her customer service.

I can’t wait to design my wedding band with her too! Thanks again Amy!

Dani

Amy crafted an engagement ring that is simply stunning and tailored to how I wanted it to look. She was great to bounce around ideas with when we were perfecting the design. The end result was a ring both unique and elegant that would cost a hell of a lot more if it was sold on the high street.

The ring has 1 central diamond and 2 emeralds on either side with an intricate curved design. The build quality is immaculate as now 6 months of wearing everyday and its still a brand new ring.

Amy is very friendly and I highly recommend her!

Ben

I had the pleasure of working with Amy to create a completely bespoke engagement ring, and the experience was truly exceptional. I provided her with some images of rings I liked, and she skillfully sketched out designs, guiding me through an iterative process until we arrived at the perfect final design. Amy then 3D modelled the ring and created stunning visuals, bringing the design to life. The process took time, but every moment was worth it.

What truly set Amy apart was her patience and expertise. She knew when to gently guide me in the right direction while still allowing me the freedom to shape the design. She even sourced gems from Australia, ensuring the ring was as unique as the process itself. The end result was far beyond what I could have imagined—my fiancée loves the ring, and seeing her reaction made everything worthwhile. This was so much better than simply buying something off the shelf. I couldn't recommend Amy highly enough for anyone seeking something truly special.

I chose Amy because of the bespoke service she offered and the quality of her design and craftsmanship.
