Unique Diamond Engagement Rings

There is such a wide range of ‘unique-ness’ when it comes to custom engagement ring design, but it can usually be sorted into three categories– a small design change to a collection design, a customisation to a design and entirely bespoke ring design.

1. Simple design with a small personalisation

We offer a collection of ready-made engagement ring designs which you can choose from. If you find the perfect design but don’t want a ring the same as every other customer that has selected the same design before you, there are plenty of ways to make a small personalisation to your design to make it entirely unique.

For example, you could choose a traditional solitaire ring but have a small gemstone set inside the ring’s band. We include a signature ruby in each of our designs as a little secret between you and your partner. Many choose to set a different gemstone inside the band as a personal ode to their partner–either a favourite colour or a birthstone.

Or choose a pre-designed ring from our collection and make it entirely one of a kind by having a personalised engraved inscription with a special message, date, pet name or even emoji inside the band.

These small, yet poignant personalisations add a level of custom that ensures your design remains a unique engagement ring.

2. Customised design

The next category of “unique” engagement ring design is a customised design. This is taking an existing design, be it one from our collection or a design you’ve seen elsewhere, and making a change or customisation to an element of the design.

For example, this could be taking a halo engagement ring style you’ve seen and increasing the melee stone size-they’re the stones in the halo and on the band itself. This would mean perhaps increasing the thickness of the band and overall carat weight of the diamond melee. Or instead of increasing the melee stone size, change the centre stone from a diamond to a coloured gemstone, as shown on our Entwine design on the right.

3. Entirely bespoke

This category doesn’t mean your design is crazy out-there, although it can be. It can be a design combined of elements from lots of other designs, or a ring based on a sketch or moment, holiday or interest you’ve experienced together.

Browse through our gallery of custom engagement rings for inspiration and schedule your consultation where you can design an unusual or unique engagement ring of your own.

From the classic precious metal choices of yellow gold, white gold, rose gold and platinum–there are a multitude of ways that your metal choice can be finished, to enhance the uniqueness of your ring. You can choose a smooth, glossy polish, or go with a matte satin finish.

A diamond is a classic choice for a centre gemstone, but for those of us who love a pop of colour , a coloured gemstone would suit their engagement ring perfectly. A luscious emerald or a vivid blue, or pink sapphire could far outshine the beauty of a diamond. We offer high quality gemstones only-ones whose vibrancy doesn’t fade over time. For our customers that are looking for an original gemstone, we have a range of emeralds, sapphires in every colour, rubies and luminous, aqua paraiba tourmalines.

For those who are seeking added drama, why not go for a black diamond? A bold, unusual choice– black diamond engagement rings are for our edgiest tastemakers.

For those who love colour but can’t part from the intense fire of a diamond–not to worry, there are many options! Diamonds come in many colours, these are known as fancy coloured diamonds. Yellow and champagne/brown diamonds are the most common fancy colours, and are often quite affordable. Colours such as blue, pink, green and purple are very rare, and command a high price point.

The round brilliant diamond shape is the most popular diamond cut, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best. Diamonds come in an array of shapes–these are referred to as fancy diamond shapes. For the alternative bride looking for something rounded but unexpected, a marquise, pear or oval shaped diamond would be perfect. For a complete deviation from the round diamond, the elegant lines of an emerald cut, or the sharp princess cut would make a subtle statement.

Another way to incorporate interesting elements into your engagement ring is to add custom cut gemstones. Along with the centre stone, you can add side stones to create a trilogy engagement ring. The combination of three stones gives you more ways to be creative, with more options to choose from. A classic choice for side stones would be a pair of sleek baguettes, or a pair of rounded half moons. Another chic choice could be the unconventional shapes of a bullet cut diamond or a trillion cut. Depending on the centre stone, with your consultant you can choose which side stones that you would think would suit the ring best.
