1. 4 Questions you should ask your jeweller when designing a bespoke engagement ring

2. Designing a bespoke engagement ring should be about more than just choosing from a selection of existing band shapes, metal colours and stone cuts and sizes. It should be a meaningful process that can result in a unique ring that represents your love and commitment, your story and personality. At Lizunova Fine Jewels, our bespoke process typically begins with an initial consultation, where we get to know you, your unique story, style, preferences and wishes. Some typical questions a jeweller could ask you could be your metal preferences, the type and size of coloured gemstone or diamond and your budget. Here are 4 questions that you should also ask your jeweller:

3. Is this ring design resizable? As this is a ring your partner will wear for many life seasons, whether or not your ring is able to be resized is an important question to ask.

4. Is this gemstone suitable for every day wear? Not all gemstones are suitable for every day wear and it is important to determine whether or not your chosen gem and setting style will withstand every day wear and tear.

5. Am I able to exchange the ring if it’s not exactly right? If you are planning a surprise proposal, it is important to clarify what the jeweller’s return or exchange policy is, if the ring is not exactly right.

6. What wedding band would go with this ring? hile you may want to leave the choice of the wedding band to your partner, it’s important to know that the engagement ring design allows plenty of scope to choose a wedding band to go with it.
