Engagement Rings - art of making memories
Finding your ideal engagement ring has never been simpler with our build-your-own ring and diamond selection tool. Start by choosing your dream ring design and pair it with a natural diamond, lab-grown diamond, sapphire or any colour gemstone.
In Melbourne, our engagement rings stand as monuments to unparalleled craftsmanship and the personalized journey of bespoke jewellery creation. Each ring is special, telling a story of love and time. Sampson makes sure to use the best materials and pays close attention to detail.
Creating these special engagement rings and jewellery starts with a great idea. Like many talented craftsmen, Andrew Sampson finds inspiration in the world around him—nature, beautiful buildings, deep feelings, and the ideas his clients share. These inspirations are the starting point for his one-of-a-kind designs.
Andrew believes it’s really important to understand what his clients want. He adds details like what kind of metal they want (like gold or platinum) and what gemstones they prefer (like diamonds or sapphires). This helps bring their idea to life.
Top Tips for Finding the Perfect Diamond and Engagement Ring
Identify your partner’s preferred ring design (solitaire, side stones/pavé, halo, or trilogy/vintage) and narrow down to a specific style.
Learn about the 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, carat) of diamonds and match them to your budget. Decide between an earth-mined diamond and a lab-created diamond.
Aim for your partner’s exact ring size. We offer complimentary resizing within 1-2 sizes.
Visit our Melbourne showroom where our consultants will help you find exactly what you have in mind. Bring your partner along to make it a special experience.
Once you’ve selected the diamond and ring style, our team will craft the perfect ring for your big day.
