Bespoke Engagement Rings

Canberra

Engagement rings in Canberra should reflect your story, your partner’s style, and your confidence in choosing the right piece for such an important moment. That’s exactly why smart couples don’t leave this decision to chance.

At Burgundy Bespoke Jewellers, you’re not buying from a shop. You’re working directly with me, Michael Dransfield, a master jeweller with over 50 years’ experience creating bespoke jewellery. I’ll be your personal “Ringman Wingman”, guiding you through every step so you stop guessing, start saving, and make decisions with complete confidence.

We don’t carry stock. We don’t have a retail showroom. Every single engagement ring I create for Canberra clients is custom-designed from scratch, based entirely on what you want. Your ring is not selected from a cabinet — it is designed for you and made specifically for your partner.

Many Canberra couples come to me because they want to avoid retail markups, confusing sales tactics, and cookie-cutter designs. Instead, you get honest advice, expert insight, and access to a global online diamond platform that connects directly to dealers. This allows many clients to secure higher value diamonds than traditional retailers can offer, often saving a significant amount while increasing quality and size.

If you’re looking for an engagement ring that is truly one-of-a-kind and created with purpose, you’re in the right place.

Using screen sharing and digital design tools, you will gain a clear understanding of diamond characteristics, design possibilities, setting styles, and the sculptural elements that affect beauty and longevity. I present the most suitable stones within your chosen range and explain, in simple and transparent terms, why certain options offer better sparkle, value, or long term appeal.

Whether your vision leans toward an elegant oval solitaire, a classic round brilliant halo, a radiant or emerald cut, a trilogy design, a coloured gemstone centerpiece, or something entirely your own, you will receive step-by-step design guidance from start to finish. You are never pushed toward a choice that does not feel right.

I am not here to sell you stock. I am here to help you create the ring that reflects your story and your commitment.

Most people feel overwhelmed by all the information online — cut, colour, clarity, shape, carat, metal types, lab grown diamonds versus natural diamonds, and contradictory advice everywhere.

That’s where I step in.

When you book a Zoom consultation with me, you receive:

• One-on-one guidance, as I help translate your ideas, screenshots or general vision into a custom design tailored to your partner’s style and your goals.
• Access to my private online diamond platform, where you can view stones from under 1ct to over 5ct, sourced directly from diamond dealers — giving you exceptional value and transparency.
• Side-by-side comparisons of natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds, and other precious gemstones, including sapphires and rubies.
• Clear explanations of cut, clarity, colour, shape, and proportion, so you understand exactly why one stone is better value than another.
• Digital design visualisations of your ring concept during your consultation.

You don’t need to be a jewellery expert — that’s my job. My role is to make the process simple, guided, and stress-free.

Bespoke engagement rings generally take approximately four weeks to create, depending on design complexity. You will always receive realistic timelines upfront.

Popular design styles include:

• Solitaire engagement rings featuring round, oval, emerald, pear, marquise, radiant and cushion shapes
• Halo engagement ring designs for increased brilliance and presence
• Trilogy (three-stone) designs symbolising past, present and future
• Side-stone engagement rings for additional sparkle and detail
• Bezel or knife-edge settings for low-profile, secure, clean-lined designs
• Vintage-inspired elements, hidden details, double-claw settings and personalised motifs

I also create:

• Matching wedding bands
• Eternity bands
• Earrings, pendants, and bracelets
• Remodelled or heirloom-inspired pieces

Everything is designed based on what you want, not what’s “on display”.

Each diamond shape creates a different visual impact and personality:

During your Zoom consultation, I’ll walk you through shape examples and explain how each one will actually look on the hand — not just on a chart.

I’ll show you:

• How a well-cut stone can appear larger than a poorly-cut one with a higher carat
• How proportions impact brilliance and finger coverage
• How your partner’s finger shape and lifestyle affect the ideal size
• How to make clever selections that maximise visual impact and value

This is where expert guidance makes the greatest difference.

• Classic gold and white gold wedding bands
• Platinum knife-edge and polished wedding bands
• Eternity bands with a range of precious stones
• Three-stone and side-set designs
• Remodelled wedding rings made from family jewellery

All pieces are handmade in Australia and fully supported long-term.

• Gold – Available in yellow, rose and white
• Platinum – Naturally white, dense, hypoallergenic and extremely durable
• White Gold – Bright finish, enhanced with rhodium plating

I explain the real-world differences — not marketing language — so you choose based on facts.

If you’re looking for engagement rings in Canberra that offer real guidance, clarity, personalised service, and master craftsmanship, I’m ready to help.

You’re not just getting a ring — you’re getting over 50 years of expertise, honest advice from a master jeweller, and a calm, strategic partner to guide one of life’s biggest decisions.
