Engagement Ring FAQs

What is an engagement ring?

An engagement ring is a ring traditionally given at the moment of a marriage proposal, symbolising the commitment of one partner to marry the other. The most common engagement ring style features a single prominent gemstone (typically a diamond) set as the centre of the ring, though styles vary widely from solitaires to halos, trilogies, and bespoke designs. Engagement rings have been part of betrothal traditions for over two thousand years, with the modern diamond engagement ring becoming standard in the 20th century. At VYOR, every engagement ring is custom designed and made to order in Perth.

How much should I spend on an engagement ring?

Spend what feels right within your means, with no rigid rule. The historical "three months salary" guideline originated as a 1930s marketing campaign and does not reflect modern financial planning or contemporary expectations. Most VYOR clients spend between $5,000 and $25,000 on their engagement ring, though the range extends from approximately $3,000 (small ready to ship moissanite designs) to over $80,000 (large fully bespoke lab grown diamond designs). The right budget is one that feels comfortable for your circumstances and produces a ring that represents the proposal meaningfully.

What is the difference between lab grown diamond and natural diamond engagement rings?

Lab grown diamonds are chemically, optically, and physically identical to natural (mined) diamonds. The only difference is origin: lab grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory conditions over weeks, while natural diamonds form in the earth over billions of years. Both types are graded by the same institutes (GIA and IGI) using the same standards (the 4Cs: cut, colour, clarity, carat). Lab grown diamonds typically cost 30 to 60% less than natural diamonds of equivalent grade, and they offer a conflict free, environmentally lower impact alternative. VYOR works exclusively with lab grown diamonds.

How do I choose the right engagement ring shape?

Diamond shape is the first major decision in choosing an engagement ring. The 10 most popular shapes are round brilliant, oval, princess, cushion, elongated cushion, emerald, pear, radiant, marquise, and asscher. Round brilliant is the most timeless and most popular. Oval is the most contemporary. Emerald and asscher are the most architectural. Princess and cushion bridge classical and modern. Pear and marquise produce the most dramatic finger lengthening effect. Our designer guides clients toward the shape that suits their personal style, hand shape, and overall design preferences during consultation.

How do I choose the right engagement ring setting?

Setting style determines the character of the ring beyond the centre stone. Solitaire is the most timeless and the most flexible. Halo and hidden halo add sparkle and visual presence. Trilogy adds symbolic meaning with three stones. Bezel and half bezel deliver modern security. Cathedral adds elevation and elegance. Pavé adds continuous sparkle along the band. East west delivers a contemporary orientation. Our designer walks each client through setting options that match their lifestyle, aesthetic direction, and centre stone choice during consultation.

How long does VYOR take to make a custom engagement ring?

Most VYOR custom engagement rings are designed, crafted, and delivered within three to five weeks of design approval, faster than the standard Australian timeframe of six to eight weeks. The process includes consultation (immediate), stone selection (1 to 3 days for shortlisting and review), design and CAD approval (5 to 10 days), crafting (3 to 4 weeks), and delivery (1 to 2 business days). For clients who need a ring sooner, our Ready to Ship collection includes selected designs that dispatch from Perth within one to three business days.

What is the VYOR engagement ring quality standard?

VYOR works exclusively with D, E, F, and G colour and VS1 clarity and above for lab grown diamonds. We do not stock anything below this range, with no exceptions. For moissanite, we offer only D colour, VVS1 clarity, the highest commercially available grade. Every lab grown diamond is GIA or IGI certified. Every ring is hand finished in Perth using 100% recycled 18k gold or platinum. Every consultation is led personally by VYOR's gemologist and designer, never by a sales team.

Can I customise an engagement ring at VYOR?

Yes. Every VYOR engagement ring is custom made, and the level of customisation is entirely your choice. You can adjust an existing signature design (different stone shape, different metal, different setting details), or work with our designer to create a fully bespoke piece from initial sketch to finished ring. Both pathways receive the same designer led consultation, the same three to five week production timeframe, and the same VYOR quality standards.

VYOR is Australia's designer led engagement ring specialist, with every piece personally designed and made to order in Perth, Western Australia. At VYOR, every engagement ring is set with a GIA or IGI certified lab grown diamond personally reviewed by our gemologist, or with D VVS1 moissanite, and finished by our team of senior master jewellers.

Custom Engagement Rings at VYOR

Choosing an engagement ring is one of the most considered purchase decisions in fine jewellery, and the most personal. At VYOR, every ring is custom made: every stone is curated by our gemologist personally, every design is directed by our designer personally, and every finished piece is the result of one on one consultation rather than catalogue selection.

Our collection covers every major engagement ring shape (round brilliant, oval, princess, cushion, elongated cushion, emerald, pear, radiant, marquise, asscher) and every major setting style (solitaire, halo, hidden halo, trilogy, bezel, half bezel, cathedral, pavé, east west, two tone, split shank). Every signature design is available in lab grown diamond or D VVS1 moissanite, in 18k white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, or platinum. Designs outside the existing collection are created bespoke alongside our designer with the same three to five week delivery timeframe.

Curated by Our Gemologist, Designed by Our Designer

Every VYOR consultation is led personally by the founders. Our gemologist, Joseph, holds direct access to over 1.1 million GIA and IGI certified lab grown diamonds, and reviews every shortlisted stone personally before presenting to a client. The VYOR quality floor of D to G colour and VS1 clarity and above for diamonds (and D VVS1 only for moissanite) is among the highest published standards in Australian fine jewellery, and it is held without exception across every shape and setting.

Our designer, Nikolett, directs every signature design and every custom design in the studio. She works with each client on shape selection, setting direction, metal choice, proportions specific to the wearer, and the integration of stone, setting, and band into a unified composition.

How to Choose an Engagement Ring, A Complete Guide

Choosing an engagement ring involves five major decisions. Our designer walks every client through these in consultation, in the order that suits their priorities.

Stone shape

Round brilliant is the most timeless and accounts for over 60% of engagement rings globally. Oval is the most contemporary and currently fast growing. Princess delivers a modern geometric look. Cushion bridges vintage and modern. Elongated cushion offers maximum face up size with vintage charm. Emerald and asscher deliver architectural sophistication. Pear and marquise produce dramatic elongated silhouettes. Radiant combines emerald geometry with brilliant cut fire. The shape decision is the foundational design choice.

Setting style

Solitaire produces the cleanest, most timeless silhouette. Halo and hidden halo amplify the centre stone with surrounding pavé. Trilogy adds two side stones for symbolic meaning. Bezel and half bezel produce contemporary, secure framings. Cathedral lifts the stone for visual prominence. Pavé band adds continuous sparkle along the finger. East west rotates an elongated stone horizontally for a modern silhouette. Two tone combines metals for distinctive character. Split shank delivers architectural presence.

Metal

Platinum is the most durable and the most prestigious choice, with a soft patina that develops over time. 18k white gold offers a similar appearance at a lower price point but requires occasional rhodium replating. Yellow gold reads warmest and most classical. Rose gold reads contemporary and romantic. Two tone combinations are available on custom designs.

Stone type

Lab grown diamond is the most popular and the most traditional looking centre stone, chemically and optically identical to natural diamond. D VVS1 moissanite is an excellent alternative offering exceptional brilliance and 9.25 Mohs hardness at a significantly lower price point. Both stones are available across every VYOR design.

Budget and proportions

Centre stone size, total carat weight, metal choice, and setting complexity all affect price. Our designer helps clients work backwards from a comfortable budget to a ring that delivers maximum visual presence and personal meaning within that range, never compromising on the VYOR quality floor.

The VYOR Process

Every VYOR custom engagement ring follows the same four stage process.

Consultation

A private 45 minute session at our Wembley showroom in Perth, or a 30 minute secure video call for clients anywhere in Australia. You meet both founders. Our gemologist walks through stone options and gemological criteria. Our designer discusses shape, setting, metal, and proportions. Together the founders present a curated shortlist of certified stones in your carat and budget range.

Design

Once your stone and setting direction are confirmed, our design team produces a detailed 3D CAD model of your ring. You review and approve every element before crafting begins.

Crafting

Your ring is finished in Perth by our team of senior master jewellers, using 100% recycled gold or platinum. Most custom engagement rings are completed within three to five weeks of design approval.

Delivery

Your finished ring is presented in person at the Wembley showroom, or dispatched anywhere in Australia by fully insured express courier with signature on delivery.

Why Choose VYOR for Your Engagement Ring

There are many places in Australia to buy an engagement ring. VYOR is different in three specific ways.

First, every consultation is led personally by the founders, a working gemologist and a working designer. Most Australian jewellers route consultations through sales consultants. We do not. When you meet VYOR, you meet the people who set the brand's standards.

Second, VYOR works exclusively with D, E, F, G colour and VS1 clarity and above for lab grown diamonds, and D VVS1 for moissanite. We do not stock lower grades. Combined with direct access to over 1.1 million GIA and IGI certified lab grown diamonds, this gives you depth of choice within a curated quality floor that no Australian competitor publishes.

Third, every ring is designed and crafted in Perth using 100% recycled gold and platinum, with most custom engagement rings delivered within three to five weeks of design approval. No mass production, no offshore finishing, no surprise delays.
