As diamond shape trends come and go in the world of engagement rings on the Sunshine Coast the Oval cut still reigns supreme. Modern yet timeless, elegant yet bold, the oval cut offers the perfect balance between style and symbolism. 

If the oval-shaped diamond has captured your heart, here’s why the oval is here to stay in 2025. 

Before we discover more about what makes Oval diamonds popular, lets take a look at —

The History of the Oval Engagement Ring :  Where It All Began

It's always interesting to know the background of where and how a stone became popular. The oval diamond cut as we know it was created in 1957 by a master diamond cutter named Lazare Kaplan. Building on the classic round brilliant cut, Kaplan designed the oval shape to retain the sparkle and brilliance of a round diamond—while giving it a longer, more unique silhouette.

His innovation wasn’t just about aesthetics. The oval shape cleverly elongated the diamond’s appearance, making it seem larger than its carat weight. It also had a flattering effect on the finger, something brides and designers quickly fell in love with.

Vintage Roots, Modern Appeal

Although the modern oval cut was perfected in the 20th century, elongated diamond styles date back centuries. Antique versions of oval and marquise shapes were favoured in Georgian and Victorian jewellery, often surrounded by ornate settings and handcrafted metalwork.

In the 1980s and 1990s, oval engagement rings had a quiet presence, often seen in family heirlooms or bespoke commissions. But the real resurgence began in the 2010s and has grown steadily ever since thanks to celebrities, custom jewellery makers, and a generation craving classic elegance with a modern twist.

Why the Oval is Loved Today

Fast forward to 2025, and the oval cut is a top choice for modern couples. Here’s why:

Elegant & Elongating: Its stretched shape flatters the hand and draws the eye.

Bigger Look for Less: Ovals appear larger than round diamonds of the same carat.

Endlessly Versatile: From minimalist solitaires to hidden halos and vintage settings, the oval plays beautifully with many styles.

Uniquely You: Slight variations in length-to-width ratio allow for personalised proportions—making each ring subtly unique.

Iconic Oval Engagement Rings

Some of the world’s most admired engagement rings have featured oval diamonds:

Princess Diana / Kate Middleton’s sapphire is an iconic oval (though it’s a blue sapphire, not a diamond!).

Blake Lively wears a stunning blush-toned oval diamond set in rose gold.

Hailey Bieber’s oval solitaire sparked a major trend in minimalist settings.

These rings helped place the oval cut firmly in the spotlight, loved for its understated drama and effortless sophistication.

Why the Oval Cut Diamond is leading in 2025

1. It Looks Bigger Than It Is

The oval cut has a stretched shape, which gives the illusion of a larger stone compared to a round brilliant of the same carat weight. In 2025, our clients  can get more visual impact without going up in carat size or price.

2. It's Universally Flattering

The elongated shape of an oval diamond makes fingers appear longer and slimmer—a flattering look for all hand shapes. Whether it's set in a sleek solitaire or surrounded by a hidden halo, the oval delivers a refined, feminine aesthetic that many brides are drawn to.

3. It’s Versatile and Modern

Ovals suit every style—from ultra-modern to vintage-inspired. Clients love pairing them with:

Minimalist bands

East-west settings (a rising 2025 trend)

Hidden halos or custom baskets

Chunky gold bands for a contemporary twist

At Morgan & Co Jewellery, Sunshine Coast leading bespoke engagement ring jeweller, we've seen oval stones in both lab-grown and natural diamonds flying out the door especially when paired with yellow gold.

4. Celebrities Love It So Do Millennials & Gen Z

From Hailey Bieber’s iconic oval diamond to Kourtney Kardashian’s minimalist setting, the oval cut has become the modern symbol of romance and understated luxury. It hits the sweet spot between timeless tradition and editorial edge and younger buyers are taking note.

Runner up Diamond Cuts for 2025

While the oval cut is leading the charge, here are a few other cuts growing in popularity that Morgan & Co Jewellery have noticed:

Emerald Cut: For lovers of clean lines and vintage glamour

Radiant Cut: Combines the brilliance of round with the shape of emerald

Pear Cut: Unique, elegant, and rising fast for non-traditional brides

Cushion Cut: A romantic favourite with soft, pillow-like edges

At Morgan & Co, nestled here on the Sunshine Coast, we have the profound privilege of crafting jewellery that transcends adornment — it becomes a tangible vessel for emotion, a silent witness to life's most significant moments. Behind every gleaming facet and carefully chosen stone lies a woman with a unique story, a personal journey etched in love, loss, hope, and resilience. This Mother’s Day, we pause with heartfelt reverence to honour the diverse paths our cherished clients walk.

Some step into our Buderim studio as daughters, their eyes filled with love as they select a piece to celebrate their mum’s strength, a presence that has shaped their world. Others arrive as mothers themselves — radiant with a love that knows no bounds, resilient in the face of life's demands, and seeking a meaningful way to mark their own chapter of motherhood, a testament to their unwavering devotion. We also share moments with those carrying the heavy weight of loss, daughters and children seeking solace and remembrance in a tangible piece that keeps their mother's spirit close. And then there are those who sit with us in the delicate space between hope and heartache, their hearts yearning for the day they will finally hold a child of their own.

In these deeply personal moments, jewellery transforms from a beautiful design into something far more profound. It becomes an integral part of their story, a quiet companion that walks with them through moments of profound joy, quiet longing, heartfelt celebration, and gentle reflection.

Over the years, we’ve been honoured to create necklaces that whisper tales of a mother’s enduring legacy, engagement rings that sparkle with the promise of a new generation of love, and heirloom redesigns that breathe new life into cherished pieces once worn by those dearly missed, transforming them into contemporary symbols of enduring affection. We’ve also crafted countless bracelets gifted by daughters, tokens of appreciation offered with a simple, heartfelt “thank you, Mum” — no grand occasion needed, just pure love and gratitude expressed.

These are never just a transaction to us; they are deeply personal milestones, sacred moments of connection that we are privileged to witness and be a part of. We understand the weight of these occasions and approach each creation with the utmost care and intention.

This Mother’s Day, our hearts particularly go out to the daughters who have had to navigate life without their mothers for far too long. We have been humbled to create pieces for these incredible women, transforming their mothers' old, treasured jewellery into new, wearable memories. By carefully redesigning and reimagining these heirlooms, we aim to hold onto the sentiment, allowing a tangible connection to remain, a comforting presence in their lives. The stories behind these redesigns are powerful reminders of the enduring bond between a mother and child.

We have also had the joy of crafting engagement rings, wedding bands, and heartfelt "push presents" for couples transitioning from the early, exciting stages of married life into the transformative journey of becoming mothers and fathers. Witnessing their growing families and the desire to mark each milestone with a meaningful piece is a beautiful part of our work.

And for some, we’ve created rings that evolve with their growing families, adding tiny, precious birthstones with the arrival of each new blessing, a colourful and sparkling testament to the ever-expanding circle of love.

We have also sat with women navigating the quiet pain of loss, the yearning of those facing difficulties on their fertility journeys. Being a part of these intensely personal and often unspoken moments, both the joyful and the heartbreaking, is a profound responsibility that we carry with deep empathy and understanding.

So, this Mother’s Day, from our heart at Morgan & Co here on the Sunshine Coast, we see you. The mothers, the step-mums who embrace their role with open hearts, the grandmothers whose wisdom and love span generations, the cherished role models who guide and inspire, the beloved aunties who offer unwavering support, those who are grieving their child - the heartache that is unbearable, the women embarking on the incredible journey of giving birth, those gently grieving the absence of their own mother, and those holding onto the fervent hope of becoming a mother one day. Wherever you are on your unique and deeply personal journey, please know that we see you, we honour you, and we are here — to listen with open hearts, to design with profound intention, and to create something beautiful that will walk with you, a tangible symbol of the enduring strength and boundless love that defines the heart of a woman.

With Love,
Laura & Morgan xo 

By Morgan, Co-founder of Morgan & Co

When we first opened the doors to Morgan & Co here in beautiful Buderim, it wasn’t just about the sparkle of diamonds or the gleam of gold — it was about building something meaningful, something with roots that would grow deep and strong. What makes this business even more special, the very heart of it, is that I didn’t embark on this journey alone. I built it hand-in-hand with my mum, Laura.

She’s not just the co-founder of Morgan & Co; she’s the bedrock of our business. She brings the grounding force, the spirit, the years of dedication, and the wise heart that has helped shape every facet of what we do. We didn’t inherit a legacy of family jewellers stretching back generations. Instead, we forged our own path, driven by a shared vision, a passion for innovative design, a genuine love for connecting with our incredible clients, and a deep respect for the art of craftsmanship.

And just like any truly great piece of jewellery, building Morgan & Co has been a carefully considered process, layer by exquisite layer — each decision thoughtfully shaped by our core values and the unique tapestry of our shared story.

Now, as Mother’s Day approaches, the day carries an even richer, more profound meaning for me, viewed through the lens of motherhood to my two beautiful little girls. They are keen observers of everything we do. They witness the quiet resilience that fuels the late nights spent perfecting a design, the genuine joy that radiates when a client finds their perfect piece, and the immense pride we both feel when we hand over something that we know will be treasured for decades to come, becoming a part of their own family stories.

And that, I’ve come to realise, is the real legacy we’re building.

It extends far beyond the exquisite diamonds or the intricate beauty of our designs. It’s about demonstrating to the next generation, to my daughters and to all the young women who will follow, that women possess the strength and vision to build, to lead with conviction, to create with passion, and to hold space — both for nurturing others and for pursuing their own ambitions. It’s about shattering the outdated notion that motherhood and professional ambition are somehow opposing forces. It’s about showing them that working with genuine heart and integrity is just as valuable, if not more so, than sheer hustle.

At Morgan & Co, nestled here on the Sunshine Coast, we often say that our pieces are meticulously made to be worn, deeply loved, and eventually passed on, carrying stories and memories through generations. That very ethos extends to the business we’ve built. My deepest hope is that one day, my daughters will look back and see that we weren’t just designing and crafting beautiful jewellery; we were also shaping possibility. For them, and for every woman who walks through our doors, seeking a symbol of their own unique story.

This Mother’s Day, we pause to celebrate that enduring legacy. The quiet, stable, strength of women. The profound beauty found in the connections between generations. And the transformative power of creating something truly lasting, something imbued with heart and soul.

A Mother’s Wisdom: An Interview with Laura, Co-founder & Mum

To gain a deeper understanding of the heart behind Morgan & Co, I sat down with my incredible mum and co-founder, Laura, to reflect on her journey as a mother and grandmother. Here is what she said:

Q: What are some of your fondest memories of being a mum?

Laura — "As young children it was the way their faces lit up when they would spot me at school pick-up. As they grew up, it was the moment my kids confided in me like a friend — for the first time, and then over and over again.

I've loved watching my son and daughter grow into themselves. Strong, clever, kind. Watching them take on challenges, chase their dreams, and still turn to me when it matters." 

Q: What are the biggest lessons motherhood has taught you that you’ve also applied to the business?

Laura — "Motherhood teaches you to slow down, breathe, and meet people where they are. The same applies in business, especially in the jewellery world. Clients need time to dream, to decide, to change their mind. Just like raising children, building trust takes time and it’s always worth it.

As a mum, I learned that sometimes the best thing you can do is just listen. That same quiet skill has been vital at Morgan & Co. Our clients aren’t just buying jewellery, they're sharing their stories, emotions, and life moments. It’s a privilege to hear them, and we honour that with empathy, not sales pressure.

Being a parent means learning to change course without warning. Plans go out the window. Emotions run high. You get creative. And in business, it’s the same. Motherhood made me resilient and taught me to expect the unexpected."

Q: How has seeing Morgan navigate motherhood while leading the business made you feel?

Laura — "Watching Morgan navigate motherhood while leading our business has been one of the most proud and awe-inspiring feelings of my life.

There’s a deep, quiet pride in seeing your daughter become a mother especially when you’ve walked that road yourself. But to see her do that while also showing up with strength and determination for Morgan & Co it’s overwhelming in the best way.

She’s juggling motherhood with the high-pressure demands of running a business and somehow she’s doing it with determination. 

Above all, it’s made me fiercely proud. Proud of the mother she is. Proud of the leader she’s become. And proud that together, we’re building something that shows women you can create a life that holds both love and legacy, family and fulfilment."

Q: What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a grandmother to Morgan’s two daughters?

Laura — "The most rewarding aspect of being a grandmother to Morgan’s two daughters is the pure, uncomplicated joy of watching a new generation grow with all the love, patience, and perspective that only time can bring.

There’s something incredibly special about being a grandparent. You get to witness all the magic of childhood again but this time, with more presence, more softness, and a deeper appreciation for how fleeting it all is. I get to love them with my whole heart, without the same pressure I felt as a parent. 

But the greatest gift? Watching Morgan be their mum. Seeing her nurture, guide, and pour her love into them knowing she was once that little girl in my arms is a full-circle kind of wonder I could never fully explain."

Q: What advice would you give to other mothers who are also pursuing their professional dreams?

Laura — "To every mother chasing a professional dream while raising a family:  there are many women pursuing the dream, you are more capable than you know, trust in yourself and your dreams. 

My advice, start by letting go of the notion that balance means perfection. Some days, the business will get more of you. Other days, your family will. That’s not failure that’s reality. You’re building two beautiful things at once, a life for your family and a legacy of your own.

Trust your instincts, both as a mother and a leader. You’ve already mastered multitasking, emotional intelligence, and resilience, qualities every great business needs. Don’t underestimate how much motherhood has prepared you for this.

Ask for help. Say yes to support. Whether it’s a partner, a friend, a team, or a community.  Showing your children what it looks like to follow your purpose is one of the most powerful lessons you’ll ever give them.

Q: How do you see the values of motherhood reflected in the way Morgan & Co operates?

Laura — "Motherhood teaches you to care, to be present and to make people feel seen. That’s exactly how we run our business. Every client who walks through our door isn’t just buying jewellery; they're sharing a moment, a milestone, often something deeply emotional. And we treat that with the same respect, gentleness, and attentiveness we’d offer our own family.

There’s also a deep sense of patience and adaptability  in how we work, something motherhood teaches in spades. Whether it’s guiding someone through a custom engagement ring or navigating a last-minute design change, we approach it with calm, care, and the understanding that every journey is different.

Motherhood instills a powerful sense of legacy building something meaningful not just for now, but for the future. That’s what drives us at Morgan & Co. We’re not just creating beautiful pieces, we're helping people mark their stories, and in doing so, we’re also writing our own. One rooted in love, family, and the values we hope to pass down for generations."

A Balancing Act: An Interview with Morgan, Co-founder & Mum

I asked Mum to write me a list of questions to answer, so I took a moment to reflect on my own experience as a mum to two wonderful young girls while co-leading Morgan & Co: 

Q: How has becoming a mother changed your perspective on working and balancing life with two young kids? 

Morgan — "Before children, my concept of "busy" was a pale imitation of reality. Motherhood has unearthed a determination and energy I never knew I had – my internal "battery" has significantly increased its charge. It's ironic to think that I once wrongly assumed hiring a young mother was a risk, believing her focus would always be elsewhere. How completely wrong I was. My perspective now is that a young mother is an invaluable asset. Faced with the constraints of time, her drive to accomplish tasks efficiently and effectively is unparalleled. There's a unique and powerful work ethic that motherhood cultivates."

Q: What are some of the joys and challenges of balancing motherhood with the demands of running a business like Morgan & Co?

Morgan — "The guilt of absence is a constant companion – missing soccer matches, those irreplaceable moments of connection, the kid's birthday parties they attend. It's a deep ache when I feel I've fallen short for my children. I understand that these situations can foster their independence and resilience, but that doesn't fully soothe the sadness I see on their faces when I miss something important to them.

It's a core value for me to show my kids that as a woman, building a successful career and nurturing personal well-being aren't mutually exclusive. I often think about the subtle distinction between encouraging them with "you can do anything" and also guiding them towards self-compassion and healthy boundaries, because the risk of burnout is always present."

Q: How do you hope to inspire your daughters through the work you do at Morgan & Co?

Morgan — "I want them to see that passion and creativity can be the foundation of a fulfilling career. We built this business from the ground up, driven by a love for design and a desire to create beautiful, meaningful pieces. I hope they witness that dedication and understand that work doesn't have to be just a job – it can be an outlet for your talents and interests.

I want to show them that women can be both ambitious and nurturing. Running Morgan & Co while being a present mother is a constant balancing act, but I hope they see that it's possible to pursue your professional goals with determination while still prioritising family and connection."

Q: What are some of your favourite ways to connect with your daughters amidst the busy-ness of running a business?

Morgan — "I love stepping into my daughters' worlds. With Harriet, that's often through games like "Guess Who" and Charades, as well as our shopping trips and watching a series together. Cuddling on the couch and our bedtime chats about her day are also incredibly important to me.

I've learned that it's the quality of the moments, not just the quantity, that truly counts. And with my beautiful three-year-old Giselle, our connection is through drawing and puzzles – her greatest joys. She's just so adorable, I could stare at her all day."

Q: What’s one piece of advice you’ve received from your mum, Laura, about motherhood that has resonated with you?

Morgan — "To let go of control - although this is still a work in progress for me. One of the greatest gifts Mum gave me was her approachability; I always felt safe talking to her. I truly hope I can create that same open line of communication with my girls, although knowing them, they'll probably beeline straight to Lulu (Laura) for those conversations too".

Q: How do you hope the legacy of Morgan & Co will impact your daughters in the future?

Morgan —"It brings me such joy to hear Harriet talk about potentially working for Morgan & Co one day. Her creative mind is constantly buzzing, whether it's through imaginative games or her love for all things design. I can picture her creating beautiful pieces of jewellery. Of course, I want her to follow her own dreams, but if those dreams align with continuing the generations at Morgan & Co, we'd love that.

What I truly hope my girls take away is the understanding of how much dedication, love, and hard work went into building something we are passionate about and have made successful by being good at what we do and treating people with genuine care. Our clients entrust us with their most significant moments, and we are deeply grateful for that. For me, operating with integrity and raising kind, good-hearted daughters is what truly matters." 

Thank You

This Mother’s Day, as we pause to honour the enduring strength and wisdom of women, we also reflect on the profound beauty found in the connections that bind generations together. At Morgan & Co, our story isn't just about crafting exquisite jewellery; it's about the transformative power of creation with heart, soul, and the unwavering spirit of family. As we celebrate this special day, our reflections offer a heartfelt glimpse into the very essence of Morgan & Co – a business built on love, family, and the timeless beauty of connection.

Sometimes, the most beautiful beginnings blossom in the most unexpected places. For Monique and James, their love story began amidst the creative energy of a pottery class. From shared moments over spinning wheels to a heartfelt proposal during a glazing session, their journey is as unique and handcrafted as the art they create.

 Today, we're delighted to share Monique's experience of finding 'the one' and the equally special journey of designing her engagement ring with our team at Morgan & Co, a process that proved even more meaningful than she could have imagined.

Q — How did you and your fiancé meet?

Monique — "I was teaching a pottery class and James came along as one of the students. We started chatting during the session and found we had a lot in common. The conversation just flowed, and we really enjoyed each other’s company."

Q — Tell us a little bit about your proposal.

Monique — "James booked into one of my pottery classes — bringing things full circle to where we first met. Just before the class started, we were glazing some pieces together when he proposed. It was such a thoughtful and meaningful moment, and it couldn’t have been more us."

Q — How did you feel when you saw your ring for the first time?

Monique — "I felt a bit emotional, to be honest. It was so beautiful, but more than that, it really meant something — it was a symbol of our relationship and everything we’ve shared. It felt really special to wear."

Q — Tell us about your ring and the journey of creating it.

Monique — "I wasn’t sure what I wanted at all — I’ve never been much of a jewellery person and had no idea where to start. But the team at Morgan & Co made the whole process really easy. They explained everything clearly and helped me figure out what suited me and what I actually liked. In the end, we went with a marquise diamond on a yellow gold band — something I might never have picked on my own, but I absolutely love it. It feels so personal and really suits me."

Q —  How did you and your partner find the experience with Morgan & Co?

Monique — "We had such a great experience with Morgan & Co. Morgan and Laura were friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. They made what could have been an overwhelming process feel really easy and enjoyable. We felt listened to and supported the whole way through, and the end result was something truly special."

Monique and James's story beautifully illustrates how the journey of creating a custom engagement ring can be just as significant as the sparkling symbol itself. For someone who initially felt unsure about jewellery, Monique's experience with Morgan & Co highlights the importance of guidance, understanding, and a collaborative approach in crafting a piece that truly resonates. Their story, born from a shared passion and culminating in a perfectly personal ring, is a testament to the power of connection – both in love and in creation. We were honoured to be a part of their story and wish them a lifetime of happiness together.

With Love,
Morgan & Laura x

Every love story is unique, and so should be the symbol that represents it. Today, we're thrilled to share a glimpse into Kailani's engagement journey, a tale that beautifully captures a couple's individual style and story. From a surprise proposal on a dreamy Thai island to finding the perfect engagement ring with Sunshine Coast jewellers, Morgan & Co, Kailani's experience is a testament to the power of collaboration and personalised design. 

Kailani: "He was the drummer in my best friends partners band!"

Q: Tell us a little bit about your proposal.

Kailani: "He surprised me by popping the question in my favourite random island in Thailand on our family holiday (a dream come true)"

Q: How did you feel when you saw your ring for the first time?

Kailani: "Head over heels obsessed! Everything I could have dreamed of."

Q: Tell us about your ring and the journey of creating it.

Kailani: "My partner surprised me with a gorgeous stunt ring which was a classic slim gold band and a oval diamond - this was actually my dream ring so when we visited Morgan & co to “design” my “dream” ring I went with the exact same shape and design and found the process incredibly easy and exciting!"

Q: How did you and your partner find your experience with Morgan & Co?

Kailani: "Beyond exceptional! Will be recommending to everyone."

Kailani's little interview is a beautiful reminder that the most cherished pieces are often those that are created with love, intention, and a touch of personal flair. If you're seeking a local Sunshine Coast jeweller to help you craft a custom made engagement ring that truly reflects your unique bond, let Kailani's experience inspire you to explore the possibilities for your own journey. At Morgan & Co, we believe that your ring should be as extraordinary as your love story.

Kailani, thank you so much for taking the time to share your beautiful proposal story with us. It was truly an honour to be a part of your journey and to craft the ring that looks perfect on you. We couldn't be happier for you both!

With Love,

The excitement of getting engaged is often intertwined with the sparkle of a brand-new ring. It's a symbol of love, a promise of forever, and a piece many envision wearing every single day. But what happens when the dazzling design you once adored starts to feel…off? Perhaps the trendy halo now feels overwhelming, or the once-coveted metal tone no longer aligns with your evolving style. You're not alone, and this feeling doesn't diminish the significance of your commitment. It simply means your personal style journey has taken a new direction, and your engagement ring should reflect that authentic you.

The Pitfalls of Chasing Fleeting Trends in Diamond Engagement Rings

The world of engagement rings is constantly evolving, with new trends emerging season after season. From the enduring popularity of diamond engagement rings with oval cuts to the allure of hidden halos, the sleekness of skinny bands, the ethical considerations of lab-grown stones, and the romantic charm of vintage settings – it's easy to get caught up in what's currently "in."

In the initial excitement, fuelled by social media feeds and glossy magazines, choosing a ring that aligns with the prevailing trends can feel like the perfect decision. Maybe the design looked stunning in carefully curated photos, or perhaps it was the style everyone in your circle was embracing.

But as time passes and your personal style matures, that once-loved ring can start to feel less like a reflection of your true self and more like a relic of a bygone trend. This realisation can be disheartening, especially considering the profound emotional weight an engagement ring carries.

It's Absolutely Okay for Your Style to Evolve (And for Your Ring to Follow)

Your engagement ring, much like your home décor, your personal wardrobe, and your overall aesthetic preferences, should be an extension of who you are. Just as these aspects of your life evolve and shift over time, so too can your taste in jewellery.

Acknowledging that your current diamond engagement ring no longer resonates with you isn't a sign of ingratitude; it's a testament to your personal growth and self-awareness. This significant piece of jewellery sits on your finger every single day, a constant reminder of your love story. It should evoke joy and confidence, not a subtle sense of disconnect.

Reimagining Your Symbol of Love: What Can You Do?

The beauty of jewellery lies in its potential for transformation. If your engagement ring no longer feels like "you," there are several empowering options to consider:

Redesign Your Custom Engagement Ring: Many couples on the Sunshine Coast and beyond are choosing to revisit their original custom engagement ring design years down the line. This could involve resetting your existing diamond into a new setting that better reflects your current style, completely redesigning the band for a more contemporary feel, or even embarking on a custom ring design journey to create an entirely new piece that speaks to who you are today. A skilled custom jeweller can guide you through this exciting process.

Enhance Your Existing Ring: Sometimes, a complete overhaul isn't necessary. The simple act of adding carefully chosen stacking bands or a custom designed wedding band can dramatically alter the overall look and feel of your engagement ring, breathing new life into the original piece without changing its core sentiment.

Refine and Personalise Your Treasure: You don't have to part ways with the ring that marked such a special moment. A consultation with a knowledgeable custom jeweller on the Sunshine Coast can help you explore subtle yet impactful modifications. This could involve adding meaningful engravings, updating the proportions of the setting, or integrating personal details that feel more authentically "you."

Embrace Personal Style with a Trusted Sunshine Coast Custom Jeweller

At Morgan & Co, nestled here on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, we understand that an engagement ring is more than just a beautiful object; it's a deeply personal symbol of your unique love story. We work closely with couples who desire more than a fleeting trend piece. Whether you're embarking on the exciting journey of designing your very first custom engagement ring or seeking to reimagine a beloved piece that no longer feels quite right, we are here to guide you.

We believe your engagement ring should feel considered, personal, and possess an enduring quality that transcends fleeting trends. From selecting the perfect diamond engagement ring to crafting a bespoke setting that reflects your unique style, our team is dedicated to helping you feel an unwavering sense of pride every time you look at your finger.

When you’re designing the perfect engagement ring, it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of centre stones, settings, and sparkle. But there’s one key detail that often gets overlooked: the wedding band. It may seem like something to think about later, but in reality, planning the engagement ring with the wedding band in mind can save you time, money, and stress — and make the overall look even more stunning. Many a time we see engagement rings that have been created without a thought to how the wedding band is going to look against it when the time comes.

Why It Matters

Your engagement ring and wedding band will be worn side by side, every day, for the rest of your life. These two rings need to not only fit together but also look like they belong together. Here’s why it’s worth considering both from the start:

Perfect Match

Designing both rings at the same time ensures they sit flush against each other and complement one another stylistically. You’ll avoid awkward gaps or mismatched styles.

Cohesive Design Vision

Planning ahead means you can get creative with how the rings interact — maybe your engagement ring has a curved band or halo that fits a contoured wedding band just right. It’s a chance to tell one complete story through both rings.

Budgeting Smarter

Thinking about the wedding band early on means you can build it into your budget, rather than being caught off-guard later. Some couples even opt to purchase both rings together and take advantage of bundled pricing.

 Less Hassle Later

You won’t need to worry about finding a band months later that fits your engagement ring—because you already solved that puzzle from the start.

Why Do It With Morgan & Co Jewellery?

Morgan & Co Jewellery offers a bespoke experience that brings your vision to life, with the care and craftsmanship only a passionate team can deliver. Here’s what sets their process apart:

Collaborative Design Experience

Whether you're designing solo or as a couple, the team works with you to design rings that feel personal, meaningful, and perfectly paired.

Expert Guidance

Morgan & Co’s jewellers understand how to balance form, function, and beauty. They’ll help you make decisions about how the rings will wear over time, not just how they look on day one.

Ethically Sourced & Custom Made

Each piece is handcrafted using high-quality materials with a commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.

Seamless Fit Guaranteed

Because the same team designs and makes both rings, you can trust they’ll nest together flawlessly.

Time Investment

Creating custom rings with Morgan & Co does take more time than buying off-the-shelf. But if you're after heirloom-quality pieces, this level of care and attention is worth every second.

What to Do When Your Engagement Ring Doesn’t Fit a Wedding Band Properly

So you’ve got a stunning engagement ring, but now you’re discovering that a traditional wedding band won’t sit neatly beside it. Maybe the setting sticks out, or the band curves in a way that leaves an awkward gap. Don’t worry you’ve got options, and Morgan & Co Jewellery can help you navigate them beautifully.

Here’s how we can help you resolve and refine this situation:

1. Custom Shaped (Contoured) Wedding Bands

If your engagement ring has a unique silhouette or a protruding setting, the best solution is often a custom contoured wedding band. This is a band that’s specially shaped to curve around the exact outline of your engagement ring.

Pros of this solution? Perfect fit, elegant and intentional look and still allows stacking with future anniversary bands if designed carefully.

Notched Bands

Another subtle solution is the notched band — a straight band with a small, precise cut-out where the engagement ring setting sits. This preserves the overall straight-line aesthetic of a classic wedding band, but still allows the rings to nestle closely.

Pros of this solution? Works well with solitaire or low-profile settings and maintains traditional look with a smart twist.

Redesigning or Adjusting your Engagement Ring

In some cases, it may be worth modifying the engagement ring itself — especially if you want a flush fit or stacking set but the current design doesn’t allow it. This could include:

Lifting the setting slightly to allow a straight band to tuck underneath, changing the basket style (the metalwork under the stone) to create more clearance or reshaping the shank (the band) to allow a snug pairing.

If your ring is sentimental, don’t worry, we treat it with the utmost care and only make suggestions that enhance and protect its original beauty and sentiment. 

Wear Your Wedding Band on the Other Hand (Intentionally)

While less traditional, some clients choose to wear their engagement ring on one hand and their wedding band on the other, especially when the designs are bold or don’t pair comfortably. With the right styling, this can actually feel fresh and fashion-forward.

Morgan & Co can help you create a standalone statement wedding band that holds its own or ties into the engagement ring’s aesthetic even when worn separately.

Embrace the Gap — But Do It With Style

Sometimes, a tiny gap can actually look intentional, especially when paired with a unique or detailed band. We can guide you on styles like beaded, twisted, or gemstone-set bands that make the space a feature rather than a flaw.

If your engagement ring wasn’t designed with a wedding band in mind, you’re not alone—and it’s totally fixable. At Morgan & Co Jewellery, we’ve helped countless clients reimagine their ring sets in a way that feels thoughtful, personal, and beautifully balanced.

Whether you need a custom contoured band, a smart design tweak, or a fresh approach entirely, we’re here to create something that fits perfectly both in design and in meaning.

Final Thoughts

Designing your engagement ring with the wedding band in mind is one of the smartest ways to ensure a cohesive, timeless set that you’ll love for decades. With Morgan & Co Jewellery, you get the expertise and artistry to bring that vision to life —making the journey just as meaningful as the destination.

Thinking of designing a custom set? Start the conversation with Morgan & Co early, and set the foundation for a beautiful forever.

While winter might not bring snow to the Sunshine Coast, it does bring clear skies, crisp sunsets, and a calmness that makes it one of the most romantic times of year to propose. The air is fresh, the crowds are thinner, and the natural beauty of the region takes on a serene charm. Whether you’re dreaming of something low-key and intimate or a grand gesture against a stunning backdrop, here are some beautifully chilled-out ideas for popping the question this season.

1. Sunrise Proposal on Mount Coolum: A Breathtaking Beginning

There’s something undeniably powerful about starting the day on a summit, witnessing the world awaken beneath you—especially with a diamond in your pocket. Mount Coolum offers a rewarding but achievable climb, perfect for a pre-dawn adventure. Imagine reaching the top just as the first rays of sunlight paint the sky in soft pastel hues, the ocean stretching out like a shimmering canvas. This is the moment. As the golden light bathes everything around you, get down on one knee and ask the most important question of your life. Don’t forget a thermos of hot coffee or tea to toast your future together amidst the breathtaking panoramic views. The crisp winter air will only add to the magic of this unforgettable sunrise proposal.

2. A Private Picnic at Point Cartwright: Coastal Charm and Cozy Delights

Point Cartwright, with its iconic lighthouse and sweeping ocean vistas, offers a truly picturesque setting for a romantic proposal. Pack a luxe winter picnic, moving beyond the usual sandwiches to include gourmet pastries, artisanal cheeses, and perhaps even a warm, spiced mulled wine to ward off the gentle chill. Find a secluded spot near the lighthouse, with the rhythmic sound of the waves as your soundtrack. Time your picnic for the golden hour, that magical period just before sunset when the light casts a warm, romantic glow over everything. As you share delicious treats and soak in the stunning scenery, surprise your partner with a heartfelt proposal they’ll never see coming. The combination of the beautiful location and the thoughtful details of your picnic will create a truly cherished memory.

3. Fireside Proposal at a Hinterland Airbnb: Intimate Warmth and Rustic Romance

Escape the coast for a weekend retreat in the enchanting Sunshine Coast hinterland. Dotted with hidden cabins and cozy stays, the hinterland in winter exudes a unique charm. Book a getaway with a crackling fireplace as the centrepiece. Let the warmth and ambiance of the setting create the perfect intimate atmosphere. You could surprise them with the ring tucked into a vintage book you’re reading together, revealed during a quiet moment by the fire. Or perhaps incorporate it into a shared puzzle, with the final piece completing the question. The privacy and tranquility of a hinterland escape, coupled with the cozy intimacy of a fireside proposal, offer a wonderfully romantic and personal experience.

4. Champagne & Sunset at Noosa National Park: Natural Beauty and Golden Moments

Noosa National Park is renowned for its stunning coastal tracks and breathtaking lookouts. In winter, the crowds are thinner, allowing for a more secluded and intimate experience. Find a quiet vantage point along the coastal track—Tea Tree Bay or Granite Bay are particularly beautiful spots offering stunning ocean views. As winter brings earlier sunsets, plan your proposal to coincide with this magical time of day. Pop the champagne, soak in the vibrant colours painting the sky, and ask your partner to spend forever with you against this incredible natural backdrop. With the "yes" secured, you'll still have plenty of time to enjoy a celebratory dinner at one of Noosa's renowned restaurants.

5. Proposal with a Private Ring Design Experience: A Unique and Lasting Memory with Morgan & Co

For a truly unique and deeply personal proposal, consider starting your journey towards forever at Morgan & Co, a premier Sunshine Coast jeweller located in Buderim. Imagine surprising your loved one with a private appointment at their studio. Pop the question first in their elegant setting, creating an immediate and unforgettable moment. Then, with the excitement still in the air and champagne in hand, spend the morning together designing your perfect engagement ring. This thoughtful approach allows you to create a symbol of your love that is entirely unique to your relationship. Morgan & Co’s expert team will guide you through the process, ensuring the ring is not only beautiful but also a reflection of your shared style and story. This experience is not just a proposal; it’s the beginning of your life together, marked by a collaborative and meaningful creation. Morgan & Co understands the significance of this moment and is dedicated to helping you craft a ring that will be treasured for generations to come. Beyond the engagement ring, they are also there for all your future jewellery needs, from wedding bands to anniversary gifts, becoming a part of your ongoing love story.

6. Beach Bonfire & Blanket Proposal at Mudjimba: Stars, Waves, and Warmth

For a more relaxed and bohemian vibe, consider a beach bonfire proposal at Mudjimba. With the help of a few close friends acting discreetly behind the scenes, set up a cozy scene with a permitted fire pit (always check local regulations), warm blankets, and perhaps even some fairy lights to add to the ambiance. As the stars begin to pepper the clear winter sky and the sound of the waves provides a natural soundtrack, invite your partner to snuggle up by the fire. This intimate and magical setting is the perfect place to ask for their hand in marriage. You could even have your favourite song playing softly in the background. The combination of the crackling fire, the starry sky, and the sound of the ocean creates a wonderfully romantic and unforgettable atmosphere.

Closing Thoughts

Winter proposals on the Sunshine Coast aren’t about snowdrifts and frosty mornings; they’re about embracing the season’s unique charm – the clear skies, the vibrant sunsets, and the peaceful atmosphere. It’s about slowing down, being present, and creating warmth in your own special way. However you choose to ask the question, let it reflect your unique bond as a couple and make it feel like coming home. And remember, for a truly bespoke symbol of your commitment, Morgan & Co on the Sunshine Coast is there to help you craft an engagement ring and beyond that will tell your story beautifully.

Morgan & Co jewellery love hearing our clients' engagement journey. We have found that many times the man may need a subtle hint to get on the same page as his lovey lady. 

So yes, it’s perfectly okay to drop hints about wanting to get engaged, as long as it's done thoughtfully and respectfully. Many couples reach a point where discussing the future, including engagement, is a natural part of their relationship. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Why It's OK to Drop Hints

Opens Communication — Hints can lead to open and honest conversations about your future together. It ensures you're both on the same page about the direction of the relationship.

Helps Gauge Readiness —Dropping subtle hints allows you to test the waters and see how your partner feels about getting engaged without putting too much pressure on them.

Takes the Guesswork Out — Sometimes, your partner may be thinking about engagement but is unsure when the right time is. Hints can give them reassurance that you're ready too.

How to Do It Subtly

Talk About the Future — Mention your long-term plans as a couple in a casual way. You can talk about trips, buying a home, or other future milestones, naturally leading into engagement discussions.

Drop Positive Hints About Friends’ Engagements — When a friend gets engaged, you could casually say something like, “That’s so exciting! I’d love that one day.”

Be Playful — You can add a bit of humour to lighten the mood, like playfully asking, “If you were going to propose, would it be a surprise or would you ask first?”

Discuss Values & Goals — Talk about the deeper aspects of marriage — commitment, partnership, and what it means to both of you. This helps align your goals and sets the stage for a natural conversation about engagement.

Mention Engagement Ring Preferences — As we discussed earlier, you can drop hints about your ring preferences. It can signal you're thinking about the next step, without being overly direct about the timing.

When to Be Direct

If you've been together for a while and feel strongly about getting engaged soon, a direct but calm conversation might be necessary. Open communication can help avoid confusion or frustration.

Ultimately, it's about respecting your partner's pace while also expressing your desires and hopes for the future.

Now that you are sure you are both on the same page in regards to wanting to get engaged. Here are some more subtle ways to drop hints about the engagement ring you want:

Leave your phone on the instagram page that highlights Morgan Co Jewellery: Strategically leave  the page open with your favourite rings.

Compliment Strangers’ Rings: If you’re out and notice someone with a ring  you like, make a positive comment about it in front of him. It’s an easy way to showcase your style preferences.

Alternatively, If your friend or acquaintance gets engaged and you don't like the shape or design, let your partner know your thoughts. 

Casual Conversations with Friends: When talking to friends in front of him, you can bring up ring styles you love or show your friends pictures of rings, knowing he’s listening.

Plan a “Just for Fun” Shopping Trip: Suggest going window shopping or make a diamond education appointment with Morgan Co jewellery, Sunshine Coast as a fun activity.  Casually point out rings you like, without making it too serious.

Create a “Dream List”: If you’re using a shared shopping account or wish list service (like Amazon or other gift registries), add a few rings you like. He may check it for future gift ideas!

Use Your Phone Background: Change your phone wallpaper or lock screen to an image of your dream ring. If he happens to notice, you can explain how much you love that style.

Talk About Celebrity Engagements: When discussing celebrity engagements or proposals, casually mention aspects of the ring that stand out to you, like the cut, setting, or metal.

Ask for “Style Advice”: Ask his opinion on jewellery styles when you're out shopping for other accessories, like earrings or necklaces. This might lead to a conversation about ring preferences.

Morgan Co Jewellery: Diamond education appointment 

Morgan Co, Sunshine Coast, offers a complimentary one-hour appointment to help couples understand the significance of knowing exactly what they are investing in when purchasing an engagement ring. This session provides valuable insights into the key factors that influence the value and quality of the ring, ensuring couples make informed decisions.

By bringing up  diamond and gold education can be a clever and natural segue into discussing engagement. It allows you to casually introduce the topic while sharing interesting information. Here’s how you can approach it in a light and engaging way:

How to Use Diamond & Gold Education to Lead Into Engagement Talks

Start with General Interest — Begin by expressing a curiosity or newfound interest in diamonds or gold. For example, you could say:

"I was reading about the different types of diamonds and it’s so fascinating how they’re graded based on the 4Cs—cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight!"

"Did you know there’s a big difference between 14ct and 18ct gold? Apparently, the higher the carat, the purer the gold, but it's also softer."

Talk About Ring Styles — Once you're discussing diamonds and gold, you can naturally transition into ring styles and preferences. You might say:

"I’ve learned that Old Mine Cut diamonds have such a vintage charm, but I also love how modern round cuts sparkle more. Which one do you think looks better?"

"I never realised how many options there are for engagement rings. Some people prefer yellow gold, others love rose gold or platinum. It got me thinking about what I’d choose if I had to pick."

Bring Up Friends’ or Celebrities’ Rings — Use a friend's engagement or a celebrity proposal to steer the conversation toward engagement rings and marriage. You could say:

"My friend just got engaged, and her ring is gorgeous! I think it’s a cushion-cut diamond set in platinum. Do you think cushion-cut diamonds are timeless?"

"I saw that celebrity X just got engaged with a yellow diamond in a rose gold setting. It got me thinking about how unique engagement rings can be!"

Ask for His Opinion — Get him involved by asking for his thoughts on ring styles, diamond cuts, or gold types. This makes the conversation feel more like shared interest rather than a direct hint. You could say:

"What’s your opinion on white gold vs. yellow gold? Which do you think would look better as an engagement ring?"

"I’m curious, if you were picking out a diamond, would you focus more on size or sparkle?"

Transition to Engagement — After sharing interesting facts and opinions, it can smoothly lead to a conversation about the future, like:

"It’s interesting learning about this stuff, and it makes me think about what kind of engagement ring I'd love someday."

"Talking about diamonds and rings has got me excited for when we’re ready to make that step."

Why It Works:

Casual and Non-Pressuring: Discussing diamonds and gold as a subject of interest keeps the conversation light and non-pressuring.

Builds Engagement Interest: Sharing knowledge shows that you’re engaged with the idea of engagement, but it allows the topic to unfold naturally.

Opens Dialogue: Once you’ve introduced the topic, it opens the door for deeper discussions about your relationship, future, and readiness for engagement.

By making it fun and informative, this approach allows you to express your feelings about engagement without it feeling forced.

These hints allow you to share your tastes and preferences without being overly direct, giving him the opportunity to surprise you with the perfect engagement ring.

The landscape of love and commitment is ever-evolving, and in 2025, we're witnessing a significant shift in how couples choose to symbolise their enduring bond: the rise of bespoke engagement rings.
