Engagement & Wedding Rings

Fifteen bands, each shown here as a finished ring. Every one is made to order in Hatton Garden, and every part of it is yours to choose: the stone, the setting that holds it, the metal and the size. Pick the shape you like and change the rest. Not sure of the size? Read our ring size guide.

Ready to Ship Rings

Finished pieces we hold rather than make to order, so they can be sized and sent far sooner than a commission.

Or start from the diamond shape

Each of these covers what the shape changes — how it sparkles, what it hides, the length-to-width ratio to ask for, and how it has to be set to survive being worn.

How a commission works

Every ring above is made from scratch once you have chosen it, at a bench in Hatton Garden. Nothing is cast until you have seen a design and agreed a price.

  1. 01

    Choose a starting point

    A style above, a photograph, a sketch, or a stone you already own. Nothing here is a fixed product — it is a place to begin.

  2. 02

    See it in CAD

    We model the exact ring and send it to you to look at, with the price. Changes at this stage cost nothing but a day.

  3. 03

    Cast, set and finish

    Cast in your metal, the stones set by hand, then polished. This is the part that takes the time.

  4. 04

    Hallmarked and yours

    Struck at the London Assay Office, whose counter is on Greville Street here in Hatton Garden, then sized and handed over or shipped insured.

What people ask before they commission a ring

How long does a bespoke engagement ring take?

It depends on the ring, so we give you a date when we quote rather than quoting a standard one. Casting, setting, finishing and hallmarking at the London Assay Office are each a real step. If you are working to a deadline, tell us at the very start — we would rather turn a date down than miss it.

How much should I spend on an engagement ring?

As much as suits you, and no more. The three-months'-salary rule was written by an advertising agency in the 1930s and has no other basis. What actually moves the price is carat weight above everything, then colour and clarity, then the metal — so the useful question is not what to spend but which of those to spend it on, and that is a conversation rather than a number.

Can I use a diamond or a ring I already own?

Yes — the ring builder already opens on starting from a sketch, an heirloom stone or a conversation. An inherited stone can be reset into something you will actually wear. Bring it in and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth resetting before you commit to anything.

Do you offer laboratory-grown diamonds?

Yes, on every setting here, and we do not steer you toward either one. A laboratory-grown diamond is chemically and optically identical to a mined one and graded by the same laboratories, and typically costs a good deal less for the same size and grade — which is why many people put the difference into a larger stone. Our guide sets out the whole comparison.

Can I come and see the diamonds in person?

Yes, and if you can, you should. Two stones with identical certificates can look quite different across a counter, and nothing on a screen shows you that. Book an appointment and we will put several side by side.

What if the ring does not fit?

Most rings can be adjusted a size or two either way, and we will tell you what that involves before you commission anything. The exception is a full eternity band, where the diamonds run the whole way round and the spacing cannot be altered — which is exactly why the size matters most on the rings that are hardest to change.
