The Design Process

Creating a bespoke engagement ring with Simon Wright Jewellery is a highly personalised and exciting journey that involves creativity, expertise, and collaboration between you and Simon Wright, an engagement ring designer with 20 years experience.

Step 2: Once your vision is clear, the next step is selecting the gemstone for your custom engagement ring. Simon Wright will guide you through the four Cs of diamonds (cut, clarity, carat, and colour) or similar qualities for alternative gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, or rubies.
Step 3: Next, you’ll explore the different design options for your ring, focusing on the cut, setting, choice of metal, and any customisation options, including engravings, personalised detailing, or unique flourishes such as diamond accents or filigree.
Step 4: As the basic design elements are being discussed, hand-drawn sketches will help you to visualise how your bespoke engagement ring will look. This stage is highly collaborative, allowing for possible modifications or enhancements to make the design even more striking or personal.

Step 5: Using CAD software, a detailed 3D digital rendering of your ring will be created. This model offers a precise indication of how your custom engagement ring will look, allowing for further adjustments before physical crafting begins.

Step 6: Finally, a wax model of the ring is then created using 3D printing, giving you the chance to review and offer any further feedback in order to refine the design until it aligns perfectly with your vision.
