How to choose an engagement ring that says more than words

How to choose an engagement ring that says more than words

An engagement ring may be the most personal jewel you will ever choose. It is not merely a stone and metal, but a promise worn every day. That is why our first question is never about budget. It is about the story.

The first decision is the setting. A solitaire allows one stone to speak for itself. A halo surrounds it with smaller diamonds and amplifies its presence. A trilogy represents past, present and future.

Our first question is never about budget. It is about the story.

For the metal, begin with the jewellery your partner already wears. White gold and platinum suit cooler tones, while yellow and rose gold bring warmth. Platinum is dense, hypoallergenic and made for a lifetime.

The most reliable way to find the size is to borrow a ring worn on the corresponding finger and bring it to the atelier. When that is impossible, we can discreetly adjust the finished ring as part of our service.
