The perfect ring to make that promise
Engagement rings are an important and personal piece of jewellery. The ring represents a promise of marriage and symbolises your commitment to one another. Traditionally the main feature of an engagement ring is a diamond as it is meant to stand for purity and strength.
Although engagement rings are steeped in tradition, designing your own bespoke engagement ring means that you get the perfect ring to make that promise and can create your own special meaning. You can even design the ring together with your partner and create a truly unique engagement ring you’ll both love.
As with all our ethical engagement rings we add some natural river gold to your ring. You can choose the location of the river from which your gold was panned, from regions across the UK and around the world, adding special meaning to your ring. You can even join us on one of our gold panning experiences to find your own river gold which we can then include in your bespoke engagement ring.
If you think designing your engagement ring together would be special but still wish to propose with a ring in hand, then our Proposal Ring could be a great option for you.

Yes. Not all styles of engagement ring are suitable for everyone, particularly those with very active lifestyles or perhaps a physically-demanding job. We always recommend rings be removed before undertaking physical activities, but there are certainly some styles of setting and metal finishes that are better suited to people with active lifestyles or hands-on jobs. Contact us to discuss further.
Not necessarily, no. The cost of a bespoke engagement ring is the same as any comparable ring on our website, because we offer a free design service for all our rings. The only exception would be if you wish to pay for exclusivity – so that your design would be a one-off, and would never to be repeated – the cost of an exclusive design would be higher. All our rings are made by hand from molten metal, so the work required to make a bespoke design is the same as that required for an existing one.
Don’t worry we offer a free resizing service. We find it almost inevitable that you will need to resize the engagement ring if you are trying to keep the proposal a secret. Our resizing service can be done without the need to leave the comfort of your own home.
A couple of ideas which might get you close:
1) If they wear a ring on the opposite hand but the same finger, it is worth knowing the fingers on your your dominant hand are typically 1/2 to 1 size bigger than your non-dominant hand;
2) If you think you can use your ninja skills, we can send you out some ring sizing loops to slip over their while they sleep;
3) Gently wrap a piece of paper around their finger and draw a line where the two overlap (least accurate way); and
4) If you have no idea, a general description of their hands (small, medium, large, prominent knuckles, etc.) would give us a steer.
Worst-case scenario, it is always better to go larger than needed so you can slip the ring over her finger in that special moment. The ring can always be resized later.
