We recently had the pleasure of assisting beautiful couple, Roberta & Murray, with creating their new forever engagement ring, The Roberta Ring.

Read on for an exclusive interview, which details their special proposal journey and experience with our Morgan & Co Bespoke Team.

"Was there anything in particular that drew you to work with us?"

"We wanted to keep it local. And when we came to visit Morgan & Co, we found them very accommodating and passionate."

At Morgan & Co, we take pride in being part of the community and creating meaningful connections with our clients. Laura and myself have a genuine passion for designing and crafting unique and special pieces, especially engagement rings. Being part of this special journey means the world to us and we take it very seriously. 

"Which ring did you choose/design for your forever piece, and why?"

"Pear cut diamond with 3 side brilliant round diamonds. Wanted to keep it minimal, simple and unique."

Roberta came to us with an idea in mind - a petit ring, low set and unique to her taste and style. Working with Roberta and Murray to create The Roberta Ring was incredibly fun. This engagement ring is now a studio favourite!

"What was your favourite part of your Morgan & Co experience?"

"Their passion to strive for the best product for their clients."

When we meet with couples at this important and sentimental moment, we feel a great sense of responsibility to ensure each couple ends up with their dream ring and that the final product exceeds their expectations. We take this role very seriously and we never forget what a privilege it is to be a part of this journey.

"Tell us a little bit about your proposal."

"Murray first proposed when we were travelling Central America, in Guatemala. We did a sunrise trek to a volcano and he proposed here. It was a temporary ring. We came back home to look for a ring I would wear everyday. Long story short, we found Morgan & Co., had the ring customised and got a second proposal at our home in Mudjimba."

Roberta’s Testimonial 

“Grateful for the wonderful team, Morgan and Laura, for helping create such a beautiful engagement ring that I am soooo in love with. Thank you for such a pleasant experience. They made the whole design process enjoyable and easy. And the ring was way and beyond. You guys are awesome!!! THANK YOU!"

At Morgan & Co, we feel honoured to have played a role in crafting these meaningful moments. From the initial inspiration to the meticulous design process, our goal is to turn dreams into reality. As we celebrate the joyous unions created in our intimate studio, we're reminded that each engagement ring carries a tale of love, commitment, and the artistry that binds them together. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Roberta and Murray for sharing their experience.

Co-Owner, Morgan & Co

Embarking on the journey of marriage is an exciting adventure, and for some, the allure of tying the knot in a dreamy overseas location adds an extra layer of romance. However, amidst the excitement, it's crucial to understand the legalities involved in ensuring your marriage is recognised back home in Australia. In this guide, we'll navigate the intricate process of making your overseas wedding legally binding for Australians.

Researching Legal Requirements

Before you start planning your destination wedding, it's essential to research the legal requirements of the chosen location. Each country has its own set of rules and regulations regarding marriage, and understanding these beforehand will help you make informed decisions. Check whether the destination recognises foreign marriages and what documentation is required.

Legal Recognition in Australia

Australia recognises marriages performed overseas, but certain criteria must be met for the union to be legally binding. The marriage must comply with the laws of the country where it took place, and you'll need to provide evidence of a valid overseas marriage when registering it in Australia.

Obtaining a Marriage Certificate

After the wedding, ensure you obtain a legal marriage certificate from the relevant overseas authorities. This document serves as proof of your marriage and is crucial for the recognition process back home. Some countries may issue an international marriage certificate, while others may require you to obtain a certified translation.

Lodging Your Marriage Overseas with the Australian Government

To have your overseas marriage recognised in Australia, you'll need to register it with the Australian government. This involves submitting a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) form to the Australian embassy or consulate in the country where the wedding occurred. Be sure to check the specific requirements of the embassy or consulate to avoid any delays.

Witnesses and Legal Requirements

Ensure your overseas wedding complies with the legal requirements of the chosen destination. Some countries may have specific rules regarding witnesses, waiting periods, and other formalities. Familiarise yourself with these regulations to avoid any surprises on your big day.

Tying the Knot in Australia but Having Your Ceremony Abroad 

Some couples opt to have their marriage legally completed at the registry office prior to leaving, or on return, from their "wedding" overseas. They choose to have a ceremony and reception aboard, but finalise the legalities here in Australia to mitigate the complexities of obtaining the correct documentation for a marriage to be recognised in Australia if done overseas.

Seeking Legal Advice

Navigating the legalities of an overseas wedding can be complex, so seeking legal advice is a wise step. We highly recommend to consult with a family lawyer or legal expert who specialises in international marriages to ensure you've covered all necessary aspects and that your marriage is legally recognised both overseas and in Australia. 

While the allure of an overseas wedding is undeniable, understanding the legalities is crucial to ensure your marriage is not only a romantic celebration abroad but also a legally recognised union back home in Australia. By carefully navigating the legal requirements, obtaining the necessary documentation, and seeking professional advice when needed, you can embark on your international marriage adventure with confidence and peace of mind. Cheers to love, adventure, and a legally binding union!

Embarking on the journey of changing your name after marriage is an exciting step in the post-wedding process. If you're a newlywed navigating the bureaucratic landscape of updating your identity, this comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of changing your name in Australia seamlessly.

Step 1— Obtain Your Marriage Certificate

The first crucial step in the name-changing process is to obtain a certified copy of your marriage certificate. You can acquire this from the relevant state or territory's registry of births, deaths, and marriages. It's advisable to request multiple copies, as you'll need them for various official updates.

Step 2 — Update Your Personal Identification

Begin by updating your personal identification documents. This includes your driver's license, passport, and Medicare card. Visit the respective authorities, such as the Department of Transport for your driver's license, to initiate the name change process. Ensure you bring along your certified marriage certificate and any additional required documentation.

Step 3 — Update Your Banking and Financial Institutions

Contact your bank and financial institutions to update your name on all accounts, credit cards, and loans. Provide them with a copy of your marriage certificate and follow their specific procedures for a smooth transition.

Step 4 — Notify Government Agencies

Inform relevant government agencies of your name change. This includes the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), Centrelink, and the electoral roll. The ATO allows you to update your name online, while Centrelink may require you to visit a service centre in person.

Step 5 — Update Your Workplace Records

Notify your employer of your name change to ensure your workplace records, email address, and any official documentation reflect your new name. This may involve submitting a request to your human resources department along with your marriage certificate.

Step 6 — Update Your Utilities and Service Providers

Contact utility companies, telecommunications providers, and other service providers to update your name on bills and contracts. Some may request a copy of your marriage certificate, so be prepared to provide this information.

Step 7 — Update Your Social and Professional Networks

Ensure your name change is reflected on your social media accounts, professional networking platforms, and any other online profiles. This step is essential for maintaining a consistent online identity.

Step 8 — Notify Healthcare Providers

Contact your healthcare providers, including your GP, specialists, and health insurance, to update your name on their records. This ensures a seamless transition during medical appointments and interactions.

Changing your name after marriage in Australia involves a series of straightforward yet important steps. By following this comprehensive guide, you'll navigate the process smoothly, ensuring that your identity is updated across all relevant platforms. Embrace this exciting chapter of your post-wedding journey with confidence as you embark on the process of adopting your new name.

Your engagement ring is a symbol of love and commitment, a beautiful reminder of a cherished moment in your life. To ensure its everlasting sparkle, proper care is essential. In this guide, we'll walk you through the best practices for maintaining the beauty of your engagement ring, whether it's adorned with diamonds, coloured gemstones, or set in yellow gold, white gold, or platinum.

Cleaning Your Engagement Ring

Regular cleaning is key to keeping your ring radiant. For diamonds and most gemstones, a gentle solution of warm water and mild dish soap works wonders. Soak the ring for about 20-30 minutes, then use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. For coloured gemstones, be sure to check their specific care requirements to avoid damage.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Chemicals found in household cleaners, chlorine, and even some beauty products can be harsh on your ring. To preserve its brilliance, remove your ring before engaging in activities that involve exposure to chemicals, such as cleaning, swimming, or applying lotions and perfumes.

Protecting Against Scratches

Although diamonds are among the hardest substances on Earth, they can still be scratched. Avoid wearing your ring during activities that may subject it to rough surfaces. Additionally, store your ring separately from other jewellery to prevent unnecessary abrasions.

Maintenance for Yellow Gold Rings

Yellow gold is a classic and durable choice, but it can lose its luster over time. To restore its shine, gently scrub the ring with a soft brush and a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Periodic professional cleaning and polishing can also revitalise the metal. We offer complementary cleans on site at Morgan & Co - Sunshine Coast jewellers. Alternatively, we can arrange a polish and professional clean for your ring when required and the price is $100 per ring. 

Caring for White Gold Rings

White gold is often rhodium-plated to enhance its brilliance. Over time, this plating may wear off. Rhodium plating your white gold ring every 12-18 months can maintain its bright, white appearance. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth also helps remove oils and residues. The cost to rhodium plate your ring at Morgan & Co, Sunshine Coast, is $160 and the turnaround time is 2 weeks. 

Contact our professional team here to book in your complementary ring clean. 

Preserving Platinum Rings

Platinum is naturally resistant to tarnish and corrosion, making it a durable choice. However, it can develop a patina over time. Professional polishing can restore its original shine, or if you appreciate the patina, you can embrace it as part of platinum's unique character.

Gentle Care for Coloured Gemstones

Each coloured gemstone has its own set of care instructions. While many can be cleaned using the warm water and mild soap method, some may require extra precautions. Consult our team for specific care guidelines for your gemstone to ensure its longevity.

Regular Professional Check-Ups

If your engagement ring or wedding band was designed and made at Morgan & Co, Sunshine Coast jeweller, you are welcome to schedule regular check-ups to ensure the security of your ring's settings and to address any wear and tear. We can also provide a thorough cleaning and inspect for potential issues that might arise over time. We offer complementary yearly checks and cleans on any ring purchased through our Buderim studio. 

Conclusion

With a little love and attention, your engagement ring can continue to sparkle and shine for a lifetime. Incorporate these care tips into your routine, and your ring will remain a radiant symbol of your enduring love and commitment.

Budget 

At Morgan & Co you will find that we aim to help our clients stay within their budget. Our expertise in brilliant round diamond sourcing allows us to be able to find the best quality diamond within you price range. Sometimes a slightly lower clarity or colour grade can offer a significant cost saving without compromising beauty or sparkle. Our team are diamond graders and will individually select your diamond. 

When buying a brilliant cut round diamond, balancing these factors according to your preferences and budget, guided by Moran & Co, you will find a stunning diamond that suits your budget and your partner's needs. When selecting a brilliant cut round diamond for your beautiful engagement ring, Morgan & Co respect the several key factors that influence its brilliance, sparkle, and overall beauty. Here are some crucial considerations when purchasing a brilliant round diamond.

Cut Quality

The cut is crucial as it determines how well the diamond reflects light. At Morgan & Co, Sunshine Coast Jewellers, we look for excellent or ideal cut grades. A well-cut diamond allows light to enter and reflect back through the top, creating sparkle and brilliance.

Clarity 

This refers to the presence of internal or external flaws (inclusions or blemishes). Diamonds with fewer or no visible imperfections are graded higher in clarity and tend to sparkle more brilliantly. Morgan & Co do not purchase diamonds that have black carbon inclusions. 

Colour

Diamonds are graded on a colour scale. While colourless (D-F) diamonds are rarer and reflect light exceptionally well, near-colourless (G-J) diamonds can also appear quite white to the naked eye and may offer better value if budget is a consideration. At Morgan & Co, we tend to source D - G graded diamonds as we want our clients to have the most perfect, sparkling diamond, as you deserve. 

Carat Weight

This refers to the size of the diamond. A larger carat weight doesn’t always mean better quality. The brilliance depends more on the cut and quality of the stone rather than just size. When you come in to Morgan & Co, we make sure that the weight of the diamond is in the spread or the table not in the bottom or point of the diamond. 

Symmetry & Polish

These aspects affect how well the diamond interacts with light. A well-polished and symmetrically cut diamond will sparkle more brilliantly.

Certification 

Ensuring your diamond comes with certification from a reputable gemological institute, such as GIA or IGI, is paramount. At Morgan & Co, your Sunshine Coast jeweller, we ensure that each diamond we source is certified by a reputable company, This guarantees the diamond's quality and authenticity.

At Morgan & Co we have seen brilliant round diamonds come back into fashion in recent months. Brilliant round diamonds have always been a big part of our business as such we pride ourselves in specialising in brilliant round diamonds for engagement rings. We will now cover why specialising in brilliant round diamonds is a significant aspect of our Sunshine Coast jewellery business. 

Popularity & Versatility 

Brilliant round diamonds are the most popular shapes for engagement rings. They offer timeless elegance and versatility, suiting a wide range of settings and styles, from classic solitaires to intricate halo designs.

Superior Sparkle & Brilliance 

The brilliant round cut is known for its exceptional sparkle and brilliance. Its specific faceting pattern maximises the reflection of light, creating a stunning display of sparkle, fire, and scintillation.

Expertise in Cut Quality 

The brilliance of a round diamond heavily depends on its cut quality. We, at Morgan & Co, specialise in brilliant round diamonds. We are experts in selecting and offering diamonds with excellent cut grades, ensuring maximum beauty and light performance.

Halo Setting 

Surround the centre diamond with a halo of smaller diamonds or gemstones. This enhances the brilliance and size perception of the centre stone. The Veronica Ring, is a stunning halo white gold engagement ring, designed here on the Sunshine Coast. 

Three Stone Ring

Incorporate the round diamond as the centre stone flanked by two smaller diamonds or other gemstones on either side. It's symbolic and visually striking.

Pavé Band

Adorn the band with small diamonds set closely together for extra sparkle. This setting can complement the centre stone without overshadowing it. The Amy Ring, is a beautiful round diamond engagement ring with diamond band that we designed for a beautiful client recently. 

Vintage Inspired Design 

Opt for a vintage-style ring with intricate details, filigree, or milgrain accents around the diamond. Vintage designs often add a romantic and nostalgic touch. The Sophie Ring is a unique vintage design with a round diamond as it's feature. This stunning engagement ring is a unique vintage design. 

Bezel Setting 

Encase the round diamond in a metal rim for a sleek and modern look. It provides a secure setting while offering a contemporary feel.

Split Shank Setting 

Split the band as it reaches the centre stone, creating an elegant and unique design. This can add visual interest and emphasise the brilliance of the diamond.

Captivating Coloured Stone Ring

Coloured stone engagement rings are making a splash in the world of bridal jewellery currently. We are seeing a trend in engagement rings for 2024 that feature coloured stones. These enchanting rings depart from tradition by featuring vibrant gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, or rubies as the centrepiece. Coloured stones infuse personality and character into the ring, symbolising individuality and a love that radiates with colour. We created a unique flower inspired engagement ring recently for a beautiful couple - view The Laurel Ring here. This ring features an oval cut ruby as the centre stone and is surrounded by lab grown brilliant round diamonds and set in rose gold, which works perfectly with the red ruby coloured stone.

Chic Asymmetry for Modern Romance

Asymmetrical engagement rings offer a departure from symmetrical designs, presenting an unconventional yet captivating appeal. With off-centre stones, unique settings, or unexpected angles, asymmetrical designs symbolise the beauty found in imperfection, celebrating the uniqueness of your love story. We can source multiple gemstones that are shaped in asymmetrical designs, such as kite, bullet and coffin, to name a few. At Morgan & Co Jewellery store, Sunshine Coast, we have created some stunning salt and pepper diamond engagement rings that feature these asymmetrical shaped diamonds. 

East to West Set Engagement Rings

East-to-West set engagement rings defy conventionality by setting the centre stone horizontally across the band. This horizontal orientation, often featuring elongated cuts like oval, marquise, or emerald, deviates from the classic vertical setting, resulting in a striking and fashion-forward aesthetic.

What sets East-to-West rings apart is their individuality. This unconventional setting not only showcases the centre stone in a refreshing light but also offers a modern twist to traditional styles. The horizontal placement of the stone lends an eye-catching and elongated look to the ring, exuding a sense of sophistication and uniqueness. Aside from their distinct visual appeal, East-to-West set engagement rings offer versatility. Their sleek design complements various lifestyles and preferences, seamlessly blending with both casual and formal attire. Their chic and contemporary allure ensures these rings stand out as a timeless symbol of love and style.

At Morgan & Co, we cherish the artistry of creating unique engagement rings that echo your distinct love story. Our collection celebrates individuality and craftsmanship, offering a diverse range of designs that speak to your unique style and preferences. We are in the unique position to source coloured gemstones and diamonds, both lab grown and natural, in an array of colours and shapes. Each gemstone is individually selected for you and is of the highest quality, ethically sourced and certified. We hold the environment, integrity and quality close to our hearts.

2024 Engagement Ring Trends: A Glimpse into Timeless Elegance and Emerging Styles

As the year unfolds, the world of engagement rings is set to embrace a fusion of timeless classics and emerging designs that resonate with modern tastes. 2024 heralds the continuation of cherished trends while introducing captivating new styles that promise to captivate soon-to-be-engaged couples. Join us as we explore the up and coming trends for engagement rings. 

Timeless Trilogy Rings

Trilogy rings, symbolising the past, present, and future, continue to reign supreme in 2024. This style is the arrangement of three stones, often diamonds or gemstones, arranged in a row to represent the journey a couple embarks upon together - past, present and future. The trilogy setting encompasses a sentimental meaning and who doesn't want more diamonds? Our stunning oval trilogy, The Ellise Ring, is a modern take on the trilogy setting. It is set in yellow gold with a larger centre oval cut diamond next to two smaller oval cut diamonds. 

Sleek and Modern Bezels

Bezel-set engagement rings are anticipated to gain traction in 2024. Renowned for their contemporary and secure settings, bezel designs encircle the centre stone entirely, ensuring both protection and a sleek, minimalist look. The Breeta Ring was a custom designed ring made by us at the end of 2023, at Morgan & Co we are at the forefront of up and coming designs, paving the way for what is new and popular, whilst remaining classic and timeless ensuring that these modern designs never date. 

Make your free no obligation consultation with our bespoke team and discuss your custom made engagement ring and our studio in Buderim, located on the Sunshine Coast. 

Emerging Diamond Cuts: Marquise Takes Center Stage

While classic cuts endure, 2024 introduces the rising popularity of marquise-cut diamonds. The elongated, boat-shaped silhouette of the marquise cut not only offers a vintage touch but also an illusion of greater size due to its elongated proportions. This cut's resurgence brings forth a blend of elegance and uniqueness, catching the eye of modern couples seeking distinctiveness in their engagement rings. View our bespoke collection of engagement rings here and in particular The Carolyn Ring and The Laura Ring - both feature stunning marquise cut diamonds, set in yellow gold and each has a different style to show the wearers individual style. 

Each of our rings can be custom made to suit you in 14ct and 18ct yellow, white or rose gold and in platinum. You can choose from a lab grown or natural diamond or any coloured gemstone. Each piece can be made within your price point. Book your consultation here to view our range and speak with our expert team. 

Sustainably Sourced Ethical Diamonds

Another ongoing trend in 2024 is the increased preference for ethically sourced diamonds. Couples are increasingly inclined to select rings featuring diamonds sourced through sustainable and ethical means, reflecting their values and commitment to responsible practices. Lab grown diamonds are a real diamond, come certified and are graded the same way as a natural diamond. There is no right or wrong choice between the two, it's a personal preference. Lab grown diamonds are a lot more affordable, allowing you to select a much larger diamond for your budget. 

Embracing the Future of Forever

At Morgan & Co Jewellery, we celebrate the beauty of timeless traditions and the excitement of emerging trends. Our collection for 2024 embodies a fusion of beautiful elegance and contemporary styles. From classic trilogy rings to the sleek appeal of bezel settings and the rising popularity of marquise-cut diamonds, our range encompasses designs that honour tradition while embracing modern preferences. 

Contact our expert engagement ring team here to make your studio consultation. We can't wait to see you at our Buderim studio and begin the journey of designing your forever ring.
