Designed with you, from the first sketch.

Bespoke doesn't have to mean expensive or slow. It means the ring is built around your stone, your hand and the story you want it to tell — and you see every step before anything is cast.

The process

Six steps from idea to finger

Most rings take 4–6 weeks from approved design to delivery, tracked at every stage. Need it faster for a date? Tell us — we'll be honest about what's possible.

1
Consultation
Free, 45 minutes, in the studio or on video. We talk about them, your budget, ring size and timeline. Bring inspiration or none at all.
2
Stone selection
We source three to five certified diamonds that fit the brief and show them side by side — with the certificates — so you can see where the money goes.
3
Sketch & CAD
Matilda sketches the setting, then it's modelled in 3D around your exact stone. You approve renders from every angle before anything is made.
4
Wax or resin model
A printed model you can try on, so proportions and comfort are right before casting. Changes at this stage are free.
5
Crafting
Cast, set and hand-finished by our partner goldsmiths in Bangkok, to our published setting specification. Every ring is inspected in Melbourne against the approved design before it goes to you.
6
Delivery & aftercare
Collect in Melbourne or insured courier Australia-wide, with the diamond certificate and a valuation. Cleaning, checks and one resize are on us, for life.

What it costs

Straight answers on price

Bespoke settings start from about $3,400 in 18ct gold and $4,100 in platinum. The stone is the biggest variable, and we'll show you exactly how each choice moves the total before you commit to anything — the full cost build is published here.

A $300 design fee starts the process and is credited to your ring. 50% is due once you approve the stone and the render; the balance after you've seen the atelier's QC photos, before the ring ships. Your quote is held for 14 days.

Weighing bespoke against buying off the shelf? Here's the honest comparison, with numbers — including when ready-made is the better call.

Typical budgets

Solitaire, 0.5–0.7 ct natural$6,500–$9,500
Solitaire or halo, 1.0 ct natural$11,000–$15,000
Trilogy or 1.5 ct+$16,000–$25,000
Matching wedding band$1,500–$3,500
Indicative only. Lab-grown stones bring the same designs to roughly $7,500–$10,500.
