1. Begin with your budget 

The first, and most important, consideration when buying an engagement ring is your budget. Having a clear idea of how much you would like to spend will help you to refine your search and give you a curated range of rings to select from. With our bespoke ring builder platform at TenSevenSeven, you have the option to set a price filter, which will refine the range of unique diamonds you can choose from and create a more effortless design process. 

Connect with our Diamond Experts for advice on choosing the best diamond and ring setting for your budget. 

2. Delve into diamond knowledge 

For many, the diamond is considered the hero of the engagement ring. Every diamond is unique, with its own blend of characteristics that make it one-of-a-kind. These characteristics are known as the Four Cs (cut, colour, clarity, and carat), and you can prioritise the elements that matter most to you to realise your dream engagement ring: do you want the most spectacular carat weight? Or is an expertly cut fancy shape more aligned to your style?  

At TenSevenSeven, our carefully curated selection of diamonds range from premium stones to the most exceptional, so you can find the one that feels perfect for you and be assured of its quality. Learn more about the Four Cs and how they each influence your diamond’s appearance.  

Another key factor in determining the overall look of your engagement ring, is the shape of your centre diamond – from the most classic round brilliant to fancy cuts including asscher, marquise, and radiant. Discover the different cuts and what gives each one its unique beauty, in our guide to diamond shapes.  

Finally, consider whether a natural or laboratory-grown diamond is right for you. A laboratory-grown diamond may be the perfect choice if your heart is set on the most luxurious stone quality possible for your budget.

3. Choose your engagement ring setting 

Hand in hand with your unique diamond, the setting of your bespoke engagement ring is key in designing the forever-piece that truly honours your, or your partner’s, personal style.  

Solitaire settings are the most popular, with timeless elegance that can be personalised by stacking with your choice of wedding and eternity bands, or with an unusual fancy cut diamond. A trio, halo, or diamond accent setting amplifies your centre diamond, and these styles may be perfect if you want to achieve a statement, diamond-forward look without the need for the largest centre diamond.  At TenSevenSeven, our small team of designers and artisans have meticulously designed 14 ring settings, which you can personalise with your unique centre diamond and your preferred precious metal.   

4. Experiment using our bespoke ring builder  

Better than choosing the perfect engagement ring, is designing one that’s authentically yours.

Our purpose-built bespoke ring builder at TenSevenSeven gives you full creative freedom to explore, experiment, and design your custom engagement ring – in your own time, from the comfort of home.

Begin with your unique centre diamond or with your setting; start with diamond shape or carat weight; or set your price filter and discover the multitude of options for your forever-piece. Pair your bespoke design with various precious metals, from rose gold to platinum, and save as many designs as you like until you refine the one that is perfectly, authentically yours.

5. Choose a jeweller that stands behind their pieces  

As well as deciding on the appearance of your engagement ring, consider the quality of its craft and materials to ensure a true forever-piece that you and your partner will love.  

At TenSevenSeven, our bespoke rings have been carefully designed by our small team of experts, and every piece is completely crafted or hand-finished within our Australian workshop by our team of master artisans. Our natural diamonds, laboratory-grown diamonds, and precious metals are responsibly sourced and backed by the highest industry standards. 

We exist to create luxurious, expertly crafted rings that honour your love story; so each piece is backed by our post-purchase promises to you. We offer a complimentary 10-Year Warranty and a complimentary Three-Year Care Plan. And if anything is not quite right, we also offer complimentary returns or exchanges. 

6. Ensure the perfect fit 

Once you have chosen the perfect engagement ring, further ensure it’s perfect for you – or for your partner – by tailoring it to the right fit. At TenSevenSeven, our rings are crafted to order, just for you, so you can request the ideal size. 

As part of our bespoke ring process, we offer complimentary, reusable ring sizers to help you find the perfect fit. Contact us to request yours. If you don’t get it quite right, we offer a complimentary resize within the first 12 months of your TenSevenSeven purchase.  

7. Allow time to receive your ring 

While some engagement rings are sold ready-to-wear, check whether your chosen ring is crafted to order or requires any adjustments such as resizing, and allow plenty of time between purchasing the engagement ring and your proposal moment.   At TenSevenSeven, your bespoke engagement ring is beautifully crafted upon order by our artisan jewellers. We suggest allowing four weeks to receive your ring, from the time your order is confirmed. We’re committed to ensuring every moment of your engagement ring purchase journey is exceptional, so we’ve partnered with a concierge delivery service and are here to assist if you need to request expedited delivery or other special delivery arrangements.   

8. Ask a Diamond Expert 

Do you need some extra guidance on the Four Cs of diamonds, help deciding between ring settings, or you’re simply unsure where to begin?
