What to Expect During an Engagement Ring Consultation at Morgan & Co

5 min read

At Morgan & Co, we believe that creating the perfect engagement ring is more than just selecting a diamond and setting—it’s a deeply personal journey. That’s why we offer bespoke consultations to guide you through the entire process, ensuring your ring is a unique reflection of your love story. Whether you have a clear vision or need inspiration, our team is here to help you create a timeless piece that feels just right.

Step 1: Initial Consultation - Your Vision, Our Expertise

Your free consultation begins with a conversation about your vision. We’ll discuss your preferences, from diamond shapes and metals to your style inspirations. Whether you’re drawn to classic solitaires, intricate vintage designs, or something entirely unique, this is the time to share your ideas. Our bespoke team will offer insights based on your preferences, helping you discover what resonates most with you and your partner. We use this time for you to try on different diamond shapes. We believe that it is always best to see the shape on your hand to ensure it suits your finger size and hand shape. 

Step 2: Hand-Selecting Your Diamond or Gemstone

One of the most exciting parts of the consultation is choosing the centre stone for your engagement ring. At Morgan & Co, we pride ourselves on offering both natural and cultured diamonds, all ethically sourced and certified for quality. We also offer a stunning selection of coloured gemstones for those seeking something distinctive. During this phase, we’ll guide you through the different options, helping you select a stone that aligns with your values, style, and budget. We will bring in diamonds for you to view and hand select. This way you are choosing the size and shape that best suits you and your budget. 

Step 3: Designing Your Ring

Once your stone has been selected, the next step is to design the ring itself. During this stage, we’ll help you determine the right setting, metal, and design elements to ensure the ring is cohesive and complementary to your stone. We offer various design inspirations, from timeless classics to modern, avant-garde styles, allowing you to personalise every detail of your ring. Our team will provide recommendations, professional drawings and CAD designs to bring your vision to life. These drawings are complementary and can be altered until you are 100% happy.

Step 4: Crafting Your Bespoke Ring

After finalising the design, our master jewellers will begin crafting your bespoke engagement ring. Each piece is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring it reflects the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. This process typically takes several weeks, as we pour our dedication into every step to create a ring that will last a lifetime. We use recycled gold and each piece is made in Australia. 

Step 5: The Final Reveal - Your Forever Piece

Once your ring is completed and after we go through our vigorous quality control, we will schedule a final reveal, where you will see the finished piece for the first time. This is a moment to celebrate and is a truly special occasion. If your ring requires a resize, we offer this complementary.
