Engagement rings
One of a kind
I can design and handmake a unique engagement ring to perfectly suit your partner, from a traditional solitaire to a statement halo or cluster.
You can be involved in every step of the design to make sure it's exactly as you'd like, choosing the design, metals and gemstones used.
What to expect
Following an initial consultation to establish a design brief, I will sketch out some initial design ideas. These sketches can then be developed to reach a final design. You can decide which materials, stones, colours, textures and finishes are used to make the ring completely personal and unique.
A small fee of £100 is required for design sketches, which is deducted from the final cost of the commissioned jewellery. The design sketches make a lovely accompaniment to your finished item of jewellery. When you are happy with the final design and quote, your piece will be hand crafted. A deposit of 50% is required at this stage.
Once your ring has been made, it is sent to the Birmingham Assay Office to be hallmarked with my personal maker's mark, as well as the metal, purity and date marks. Your item will then be given a final polish, before being packaged in a beautiful presentation box.
Bespoke pricing
The price of a bespoke engagement ring will vary greatly depending on the materials used and complexity of the design. If you have a budget in mind, we can design your ring accordingly to make sure you’re happy with the final price.
Below are some examples of bespoke rings with guide prices. There are many variables which would affect the exact price, but hopefully it will be a useful guide.

FAQs
Hallmarking
Your rings will be hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office. The metal is tested and then marked with the corresponding hallmarks.
Read more about hallmarking here.
Engraving
A date, initials or short message can be engraved on the inside of most rings by laser at additional cost. Some designs are too slim or textured making them unsuitable. If you’d like engraving, a suitable width and design can be chosen. You can choose any font or your own handwriting can even be replicated.
What's your lead time?
I have a current lead time of 12 weeks for bespoke orders.
Making payments
A small fee of £100 is required for design sketches, which is deducted from the final cost of the jewellery. Once a final design and quote has been approved, a deposit of 50% is required. The balance, minus your deposits, is then due a few weeks later upon completion.
Please see my terms and conditions for more details.
Can you remodel existing jewellery?
Yes, I love to remodel jewellery. Please visit the Remodelling page for more information.

" When I first met Ellie I had no idea what kind of ring I wanted or know anything about diamonds. We sat down together and she explained everything and we went through a few ideas and worked out what I wanted. She then sent me a few sketches of different ring ideas and we narrowed it down to what I wanted. Ellie was very helpful and friendly through the whole process. Will be going back to her for our wedding rings. "

" I would definitely recommend Ellie for jewelry work. I went to her with a rough idea for a bespoke pendant for my wife to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I have had a great experience with her design, expertise and craftsmanship throughout the process and the quality of the finished article is just superb. It is so pleasing to have something made especially for you and I am very glad that I chose Ellie for this commission."

" Ellie is without a doubt the best jeweller someone could ask for. Her knowledge of designing, stones and metals is amazing, she works with your ideas (even with my poor explaining) to create exactly what you're after ..... if you're looking for a jeweller she is the one, especially to make you something bespoke ! Ellie will make your jewellery journey special and include you as much as she can/you want."

" Ellie designed my wedding ring and it is stunning! Better than I could have imagined would definitely recommend! Nothing is too much trouble and the quality is amazing. A very talented lady. "
