Custom-Made Engagement Rings in Cape Town
First up are our gorgeous, custom-made engagement rings, one of our most popular custom design requests. Custom engagement rings are a thing of beauty, each one telling a unique story about the couple it represents. The value of bespoke engagement rings lies not only in the exquisite design and craftsmanship but also in the emotional connection they hold.
When a couple designs a ring together, it becomes more than just a piece of jewellery; it becomes a symbol of their love and commitment to each other. And when this piece is passed down to future generations, it becomes a cherished family heirloom, carrying with it the love, memories and stories of those who have worn it before. Custom engagement rings are not just a symbol of your unique style, but a precious and timeless treasure that can be enjoyed for generations to come.
The Emerald Cut
Our clients came to us with a vision for a classic, timeless ring with a modern twist. We worked closely with them to create a design that combined a stunning emerald-cut diamond with a unique, horizontal setting. The result is a breathtaking ring that perfectly captures the essence of our client’s vision.
The 1.00ct Round Diamond Ring with Micro-set Band
1.00ct perfection – an exquisite 1.00ct round brilliant cut diamond, in a bespoke petal-inspired design. Handcrafted in platinum.
The Claddagh Ring
An incredibly special ring, custom-designed as a meaningful gift, in honour of love, loyalty and friendship.
The unique design of the Claddagh ring is a combination of three symbolic elements, with the heart representing love, the crown denoting loyalty, and the hands symbolising friendship.
Set with a luminous heart-shaped emerald and glittering diamonds, this bespoke ring is a melding of Irish tradition, crafted in South Africa, with the emerald in its centre representing the Emerald Isle, Ireland’s other name. Steeped in symbolism, it is a gift of love, luck and remembrance, for a talented young woman on her way from Cape Town to a new life in Ireland.
