Custom engagement rings, designed in Sydney - around the one person you're asking.
No two are the same. Every DÉSIR engagement ring is custom and made to order - drawn from scratch in our Sydney studio, set with a stone chosen for one person. Never off the shelf, never pre-made.
Most engagement rings in Sydney are chosen from a display. Ours are designed around a person - their style, their story, the moment you want to mark. A different ring, and a different way of getting there.
Designed specifically for her
We start with the person: how she dresses, what she values, what she'd never take off. The ring follows from there.
Every detail, approved by you
Stone, setting, silhouette, finish, weight. Nothing is final until you've signed off on every element.
One ring, made once
Custom designed specifically for you. One person, one moment, made to wear for life.
Where the design begins. Natural or lab-grown diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, or something we go looking for. We source to your brief and your budget - not to what's already in the tray.
How the stone is held, and how the ring reads on the hand. Solitaire, bezel, pavé, halo, east-west. Each one changes the whole piece, and we'll steer you to the one that's actually right.
Solid yellow gold, white gold, or platinum. Chosen for how it ages on the person wearing it - gold is meant to be worn, not stored.
Delicate or substantial. Architectural or organic. The silhouette is the ring's posture, and we shape it to the hand it will live on.
High polish, brushed, hammered, or worked across the surface. The quietest decision you'll make, and the one you'll notice most.
The difference between a nice ring and yours. A hidden engraving, a diamond set beneath the gallery, a detail worked in for only you to find. We focus on the small things most people overlook - they're what make a piece one of one.
A private appointment, in our Sydney studio or online. We start with your ideas, your budget and material preferences, with you or the person you're designing for at the centre - all before a single sketch.
Sketches, CAD renders and stone options, developed with you. Every detail refined and signed off before we begin crafting.
Designed in our Sydney studio and made to order in solid gold and high quality materials, set with carefully sourced stones. Made to be worn every day.
Collected in the studio or delivered to your door, in our signature DÉSIR packaging. Ready for the moment you've been planning, and the memories yet to be made.
Eight months out. He wasn't in a rush - he wanted to get it exactly right.
He knew her completely: how she moved, what she wore without thinking, what she'd never take off. He just didn't know where to begin. So the first appointment was about her, not the ring - who she was, the life they were building.
From there, a direction: quietly architectural, low enough for hands-on work, a stone warm rather than flashy. We designed a custom oval solitaire engagement ring in 18k solid yellow gold, set with a champagne diamond she'd never have chosen herself.
She knew the moment she saw it. He proposed on a quiet Sunday morning — she said yes before he finished the sentence.
For three years, a small velvet pouch sat at the back of a drawer. Inside, a round brilliant diamond, slightly yellowed with age - her grandmother's. She wasn't ready to let it go, but didn't know what to do with it either.
When her partner came in wanting something that couldn't be found anywhere else, she mentioned the stone. They both knew straight away.
We reset her grandmother's heirloom diamond into a custom engagement ring: a sash-waist bezel in 18k solid white gold that brought the stone closer to the hand and caught light in a way it never had.
The same diamond. A hundred years of history. A ring that felt new, and entirely hers.
Every custom engagement ring begins with the person it is made for. Tell us about her style, the pieces she wears every day, the details she notices, and the moment you are planning. From there, we design a ring that feels entirely hers.
For many couples, the story continues with wedding bands designed in the same language as the engagement ring.
A custom piece, designed with the same level of care as every engagement ring we create.
The DÉSIR Concierge Service is our bespoke custom jewellery design experience, where we work closely with you to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re dreaming of a diamond engagement ring, a sentimental gold bracelet, or a pair of unique earrings, our expert team collaborates with you every step of the way to craft a piece that reflects your personal style and celebrates life’s special moments.
Book an initial online consultation or email bonjour@desirstudio.com for any enquiries before starting the process. All consultations are complimentary and free of charge.
Perfection can take time. Following your initial consultation where we will discuss your vision and personal style, it typically takes 1 week for our designers to create the 3D render of the agreed design.
We'll then work closely with you to refine the details, allowing up to 3 iterations of the initial render.
Once you're happy with the final design, we'll place the official order and process payment.
Production timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the design. Typically, we recommend allowing at least 12 weeks to design the perfect piece.
During peak periods, such as the December and Easter holidays in Australia, delivery timeframes may take longer.
When ordering through Concierge, your pieces are thoughtfully packaged in refined Italian-made boxes, ensuring it arrives securely and beautifully.
Our Concierge boxes are crafted in Arezzo, Italy – the heart of Italy's renowned jewellery district.
Gift wrapping is also available upon request, adding an extra touch for any occasion.
Pricing will vary depending on your design. Our team will provide you with a quote alongside the render.
Your initial consultation is complimentary.
To begin the 3D render process for your custom jewellery piece, we require an upfront payment of $100 AUD. This amount is fully deducted from the final cost of your piece when you decide to proceed with the order.
Once the order is placed, we require a 30% deposit of the total price to commence production, with the remaining balance due upon completion of your design and prior to final shipping.
However, please get in touch if you prefer different payment terms. Our DÉSIR Concierge service is designed specifically for you, so our payment terms can be too.
