If there was ever a time to splurge on a unique piece of jewellery, your engagement ring is it. And while your other half may prefer to surprise you completely, it’s not uncommon for you to get involved in the process (or drop some helpful hints!). But where do you begin? You’ve got some big decisions ahead of you.

Simple, diamond-dazzled engagement rings are classics - and stunning, just take a look at JLo’s engagement ring and Hailey Bieber’s engagement ring. *Swoon*.

I had the absolute honour of creating this beautiful ring recently, for one of my dearest friends. A surprise to celebrate the couple's recent tenth wedding anniversary, each stone held special significance to them both. I can't describe just how special it was to be asked, knowing it is to celebrate a truly special milestone.

It's a strange feeling giving my designs to someone else to make. @cemilgulasi.jewellery (Cemil) has been at 🌹 and 👑 for over a year now. His skills are improving through the roof! I'm proud of him and his achievements, he went through some seriously rigorous politics and tests to be recognised as a jeweller in Australia and I'm thrilled to say, "WOW, what a dedicated talent". It's an absolute pleasure passing skills onto people who listen and use collective knowledge. My designs are in ripper hands.
