Consultation
This consultation isn't just about collecting data; it's also about education and making sure you're making an informed decision.
Remember - every detail matters when creating something as personal as jewellery.
Education on Diamonds and Understanding Your Style
The journey of crafting your perfect piece starts with an understanding of diamonds and coloured stones.
We at Morgan & Co provide bespoke services, focusing not only on the tailoring process but also educating our clients about these precious stones.
Factors such as cut, clarity, carat weight, and colour can help you make informed decisions during the custom manufacturing works for your ring.
Determining Personal Styles
Beyond diamond education lies another crucial aspect - defining personal style preferences.
This step includes personal bespoke fittings where we explore different designs and settings which align perfectly with your specifications. You can choose between conducting the consultation virtually or in-person at our Buderim studio.
Check out our collections of engagement rings, wedding bands, and other jewellery on our website to draw some inspiration.
In essence, this stage combines technical knowledge about diamonds along with creative exploration into individual styles - meaning they're bespoke in every sense.
Moving forward from here takes us deeper into the heart of our practices - sourcing your chosen stone or diamond.

Sourcing Your Diamond or Coloured Stone
Delving into the bespoke tailoring process, we find that sourcing your diamond or coloured stone is a crucial phase.
This isn't just about aesthetics; it's also an integral part of the custom manufacturing works involved in creating unique pieces.
Importance of Choosing the Right Stones
The right stones breathe life into any piece. They are what make each design truly unique and special.
In our practice as a bespoke manufacturer, this step holds immense importance because it lays down the foundation for all subsequent steps in our tailored process.
Steps Involved in Stone Sourcing
- We begin by understanding your specifications during consultations to identify your preferences and needs.
- Moving forward, we scour through various sources online - from reputed gemstone suppliers to auctions - ensuring every stone sourced meets strict quality and ethical standards set by Morgan & Co.
- To ensure transparency with our clients throughout this journey, we provide regular updates on the progress, along with images/videos of shortlisted gems before final selection takes place.

Crafting The Piece
At Morgan & Co, the crafting process is where your bespoke design truly comes to life.
- Creating Wax Models: the creation of wax models allows us to produce an accurate 3D representation before moving onto metal work. This practice ensures that every detail aligns perfectly with your specifications and requests.
- Metal Forming and Soldering: In this stage, we shape the metals into desired forms using traditional methods combined with modern techniques. This includes personal bespoke fittings for perfect alignment on fingers or wrists.
- Stone Setting: Once the form is finalised, we set the stone into its place on the ring. From the sparkling diamonds to the lustrous metals, every element of your ring is carefully chosen to ensure its beauty and durability.
- Polish, Buff, and Clean: This step ensures that your ring looks polished and clean, and ready to be worn forever!
- Quality Assurance: Before your ring is ready to be presented, it must pass a strict quality assurance process so that its craftsmanship and beauty are up to our exacting standards. We carefully examine every detail of the ring to guarantee that it lives up to those standards and is aesthetically pleasing.
