Meet Morgan & Co Jewellery, Buderim

If you’re searching for sunshine coast engagement rings, you’ve found the local studio where ideas become heirlooms. Morgan & Co Jewellery is a family run custom jeweller in Buderim known for thoughtful custom ring design, curated stones (natural and lab-grown), and beautifully balanced settings that wear comfortably every day. From modern solitaires to three stone classics, each custom engagement ring is designed around your style, lifestyle, and budget never pulled from a tray.

Why we’re leaders in engagement ring design on the Sunshine Coast

• Design-first approach: We listen, sketch, and obsess over proportions so your ring looks amazing from every angle and sits beautifully next to a wedding band.
  

• Transparent stone curation: In-depth  comparisons of natural and lab-grown diamonds, with clear explanations of cut, colour, clarity, and carat so you can choose with confidence and understand why some stones are more expensive than others.
  

• See it before we make it: We provide  lifelike CAD/renders, so you can approve details (setting height, claw style, band width) before we craft.
  

• Australian craftsmanship: Your ring is made in Australia with precision setting and rigorous quality control.
  

• Heirloom remodelling: We respectfully transform family stones or gold into fresh, modern designs.
  

• Lifetime care: Cleaning and checks, resize options, and practical wear guidance are all part of the journey.
  

Our custom ring design process (simple, clear, personal)

1. Discovery (45–60 mins): Style mapping, lifestyle considerations (gloves, gym, little hands), timeline, and budget.
   

2. Stone curation: A tailored shortlist of natural and/or lab-grown diamonds (or coloured stones), focusing on excellent cut and eye-clean clarity.
   

3. Design study: Sketches and scale tests; select claw style (petite talon, V-prongs, classic prongs, or bezel), setting height, band profile, and width.
   

4. CAD & renders: True to life visuals from multiple angles; iterate until you’re thrilled.
   

5. Crafting in Australia: Master bench work and precision setting; smooth interiors and secure claws for everyday comfort.
   

6. Reveal & documentation: Insurance details, care plan, and a long-term service schedule.
   

Typical timeframe: 4–8 weeks depending on complexity and stone lead times (rush options can  be arranged).

Diamond engagement rings: natural vs lab-grown (curated for you)

We love both, our role is to help you choose what best fits your priorities.

Natural diamonds

• Traditional rarity and character.
  

• Wide selection to balance size, colour, and clarity to your taste.
  

Lab-grown diamonds

• Same crystal structure and sparkle as natural.
  

• Often allows a larger centre stone at a given budget.
  

What we optimise

• Cut quality first for brightness, fire, and scintillation.
  

• Colour/clarity “sweet spots” (often D–F, VVS–VS—tailored to your eye and budget).
  

• Setting synergy (bezel/east-west/hidden halo) to enhance how the stone reads.
  

Design styles we’re known for

• Modern solitaires: knife edge, cathedral, rounded or flat profiles, low set baskets for comfort.
  

• Three stone classics: oval with pears, emerald with tapered baguettes, radiant with half moons.
  

• Hidden halos & fine pavé: sparkle that stays refined and elegant.
  

• Bezel & east-west settings: sleek, secure, and snag resistant for active lifestyles.
  

• Heirloom transformations: honour the story, update the look.
  

Metals guide (quick help choosing)

• 9ct gold: hard-wearing, great value, subtle hue (not recommended for engagement rings).
  

• 14ct gold: beautiful balance of strength and richness excellent for delicate claws.
  

• 18ct gold: luxurious tone; perfect for premium finishes.
  

• Platinum: cool white, dense and durable, hypoallergenic; ideal for white settings.
  

We’ll recommend the alloy that best fits your tone preferences, lifestyle, and maintenance expectations.

Fit, comfort & longevity (the details that matter)

• Band proportions that keep your centre stone upright and comfortable.
  

• Secure claws (talon/V/bead) refined to your stone and design.
  

• Wedding band compatibility so your future stack sits flush.
  

Heirloom remodelling

Bring your diamonds or gold; we’ll assess condition, measure precisely, and propose layouts that feel fresh without losing sentiment. Many Sunshine Coast couples choose remodelling to keep a family story alive in a ring that suits their current style.

FAQs

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. They share the same crystal structure, hardness, and brilliance as natural diamonds; they’re grown rather than mined and can maximise size at a given budget.

Can you design for active lifestyles?
Absolutely. We tune setting height, claw profile, and band thickness for comfort and durability.

How long does it take?
Most commissions finish in 4–8 weeks, depending on stone sourcing and complexity.

Do you remodel heirloom jewellery?
Yes. We can reset your stones or refine existing gold into a design that feels current while preserving sentiment.

Can I see my ring before it’s made?
Yes CAD/renders let you approve proportions and details before we craft. We also offer a silver print of your ring so you can see, and try on, the real thing before proceeding. A silver print costs $350.
