How to personalise your engagement ring

Posted on: 04/09/2025

Choose a metal that matches your style

The metal you choose for your personalised engagement ring is a strong base for your stone and influences the overall look and feel. Classic options such as platinum, white gold, and yellow gold provide timeless elegance that suits a variety of tastes.

Platinum, known for its strength and luxurious finish, is ideal for someone who loves understated sophistication. White gold offers a similar bright, silvery-white look to platinum but with a slightly warmer tone, while yellow gold is a classic choice that exudes vintage charm.

For those seeking something more modern or romantic, rose gold is a fantastic option. Its soft, pink hue gives a delicate, romantic feel to your custom engagement ring.

Whatever metal you choose, make sure it reflects your partner’s personality and will stand the test of time. Whether subtle or striking, the right metal will create an engagement ring personalised to perfection.

Add a special touch with custom engravings

Engravings are a beautiful way to make personalised engagement rings even more meaningful and unique. You can add a custom engraving, like a special date, initials, a heartfelt phrase, or a symbol that holds significance for you both. It’s a small detail that can make your ring feel extra special. 

Engravings are more than just decorative; they're reminders of moments that matter and can turn an already beautiful ring into something irreplaceable. So, if you're looking for a special way to make your custom engagement ring stand out, consider a personalised engraving that will make every glance at your ring a sweet reminder of the love you share.

Select a meaningful gemstone

While diamonds are often the traditional choice for engagement rings, opting for a custom engagement ring with a meaningful gemstone can make your ring even personal. Gemstones like birthstones, sapphires, emeralds and rubies each carry significance, making them a wonderful way to add a unique touch to your custom engagement ring.

Each stone offers a rich history and can represent something important to you both. Birthstones are a popular choice, and can signify the month you met or your partner’s birthday month.

Sapphires, known for their timeless beauty and symbolism of loyalty and wisdom, are a striking option. Emeralds, with their deep green hue, represent rebirth and love, while rubies stand for passion and strength.

Whether you choose a classic diamond or a vibrant coloured stone, the right gemstone will add a layer of meaning to your custom engagement ring, making it a lasting symbol of your connection.

Design a bespoke setting for a one-of-a-kind look

The setting defines the overall style of your ring. Whether you opt for a classic solitaire or choose a more intricate, custom engagement ring design, a bespoke setting ensures your ring will be one-of-a-kind. A personalised engagement ring isn’t just about the gemstone, it’s about how that stone is framed and showcased.

From elegant vintage-inspired designs to modern, minimalist settings, there are endless possibilities. Custom settings allow you to tailor every detail, from the band shape to the way the gemstone is secured, so every aspect is perfect for you and your partner.

Work with a jeweller to bring your vision to life 

Collaborating with an expert jeweller is one way to ensure your custom engagement ring is brought to life exactly as you envision. Working closely with a jeweller allows you to fine-tune every detail of your personalised engagement ring, from selecting the perfect gemstone to choosing the ideal setting. They will guide you through the design process, offering expert advice so every element of your ring delivers your style and preferences.

A jeweller’s experience ensures that your engagement ring, personalised to your specifications, is crafted with precision and care.
