Engagement & Wedding Q&As
How long does it take to create a custom engagement ring?
Most bespoke engagement rings take 4 to 8 weeks from consultation to completion. This can vary depending on the design complexity and gemstone sourcing—but we’ll always work to your timeline, especially if you have a proposal date in mind.
What’s the difference between a custom engagement or wedding ring and a ready-made design?
A custom ring is handcrafted just for you—shaped by your story, your style, and the details that matter most. No two bespoke designs are ever the same, often featuring hidden gemstones, personal engravings, or meaningful flourishes that make them truly one-of-a-kind.
Matthew Ely's ready-made pieces are also individually handcrafted and often one-off designs. They can be tailored to suit your preferences, or simply serve as a starting point for your own unique creation. The journey is yours to shape.
Can we design matching wedding rings or a full bridal set?
Absolutely. We often create full sets—from engagement rings to matching wedding bands, and even eternity rings. You can also include subtle design elements that tie the rings together while keeping each one unique.
Do you create men’s wedding rings too?
Yes. From timeless gold bands to textured or gemstone-set designs, we create custom wedding rings for men that reflect personal style, profession, and lifestyle. We can incorporate family crests, fingerprints, or hidden messages inside the band.
Can you work with heirloom diamonds or gemstones?
We love reimagining heirloom pieces. If you have a diamond, gemstone, or sentimental jewellery item, Matthew Ely can incorporate it into a fresh design—honouring its legacy while crafting something new.
What materials and gemstones can I choose from?
We work with a wide variety of ethically sourced nautral diamonds and coloured gemstones—sapphires, emeralds, rubies, spinels and more—alongside 18ct gold and platinum. Every stone is hand-selected for its quality, rarity and individuality.
