Engagement Rings, Designed Just for You

The perfect engagement ring begins with understanding what truly matters to you and your partner. Don’t shop for an engagement ring until you see this, because the right guidance from Michael Dransfield, a trusted master jeweller can turn an overwhelming search into a confident, meaningful decision. Retail markups for engagement rings can be 300% — yes, really — and that’s why a fully bespoke, handcrafted approach often delivers far better quality, value, and long-term satisfaction than any mass-produced wedding or engagement rings in a typical store.

You deserve a jeweller who actually listens, supports your vision, and helps you design an engagement ring your partner will love—guaranteed.

At Burgundy Bespoke Jewellers, you work directly with Michael Dransfield, a master jeweller with over 50 years of experience creating bespoke jewellery. Michael is your dedicated guide through every step of the process — your “Ringman Wingman” — helping you compare options, understand differences in stones and settings, refine your vision, and make a confident decision without pressure.

We also understand discretion and are experienced in keeping the secret proposal a secret if we need to.

Whether you prefer a classic round brilliant diamond ring, an oval solitaire ring, a pear halo design, a cushion or emerald cut centre stone ring, a stunning sapphire, or other precious gemstones set in yellow, white, rose, or two-tone gold, your engagement ring should reflect your unique story and personal style. At Burgundy Bespoke Jewellers, we help you explore, compare, choose, and create engagement rings with confidence—Australia-wide via personal or online consultation—so you can find the one meaningful jewellery piece that marks the start of your forever.

In-Person & Zoom Consultations

In-person and Zoom meetings are available in:

• Brisbane
• Gold Coast
• Sunshine Coast

For all locations outside of Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast, consultations are conducted via Zoom only.

This allows you to access the same level of personal guidance, stone comparison, and design support wherever you are in Australia — from Sydney to Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, or anywhere in between.

There is no shopfront or retail store, and we do not carry stock. Every engagement ring is designed and made exclusively for the individual client. Jewellery designs can be viewed during your consultation, so you can see how your ideas translate into a finished piece before the ring is crafted.

You can also browse diamonds on our online diamond platform, with stones ranging from under 1ct to over 5ct if needed. This platform connects directly to diamond dealers, allowing you to view and compare a wide range of stones with transparency and flexibility— all with Michael’s expert help and advice to guide you toward the perfect choice.

Once your design is finalised, bespoke engagement rings take approximately 4 weeks to complete.

Your custom design begins with your inspiration — a collection of pictures, screenshots, ideas, gemstone preferences, lifestyle, budget, and the story you want your engagement ring to represent. We can source natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds. We can also source precious gemstones, comparing stones side by side so you can instantly see differences in quality and value.

Because each engagement ring is crafted in Australia, you receive transparency, ethical sourcing, and exceptional craftsmanship without unnecessary retail overhead.

You choose everything: metal colour, setting style, diamond type, cut, size, halo or solitaire, cluster details, wedding band width, and overall style. The result is an engagement ring created exclusively for you — never mass-produced, never generic, and always crafted with precision.

If you’re searching for inspiration, explore our collection of top handcrafted engagement ring designs. Our wedding and engagement rings are made to order, allowing you to customise the centre stone, metal, and setting.

Jewellery designs can be reviewed during your consultation, ensuring complete clarity on proportions, design, and how the engagement ring will sit on the hand.

Choosing the right diamond comes down to understanding the 4Cs: cut, colour, clarity, and carat.

• Cut: Impacts sparkle more than anything else.
• Colour: The less tint, the more desirable (D–G is ideal for white metals).
• Clarity: Choose visually clean stones; you don’t need “flawless.”
• Carat: Diamond size increases the price exponentially, not linearly.

Many buyers overspend on engagement rings because they lack guidance and focus only on carat size. During your consultation, stones are compared side by side so you can see real differences and make an informed choice without wasting money.

Carat size affects cost, finger coverage, and overall proportions. Your partner might prefer a stone that looks balanced, elegant, and refined rather than simply large.

For example, an oval or marquise diamond often appears larger than a round diamond of the same carat weight.

Approximate finger coverage guide:

• 1.00ct round – classic sweet spot
• 1.50ct oval – visually appears closer to 1.80ct
• 2.00ct emerald – bold, structured presence

We can compare options in AUD, GBP, EUR, and USD if required for international clients.

Each shape carries a distinct personality:

• Round – Maximum sparkle, classic
• Oval – Elegant, elongates the finger
• Pear – Unique, tapered lines
• Emerald – Minimalist, hall-of-mirrors glow
• Marquise – Bold, dramatic
• Cushion – Romantic, soft edges

Ovals are trending for 2025. Pears and marquise offer unique flair. Emerald cuts feel vintage or architectural. Round remains timeless.

Seeing each shape side by side allows you to understand how they work with bands, settings, and different skin tones.

Lifestyle also matters. If you work with your hands, a lower setting may be ideal. If you prefer maximum brilliance, halo or pavé bands may suit you best.

• Yellow gold – Warm, classic, luxurious
• White gold – Bright, modern, neutral
• Rose gold – Romantic, soft
• Platinum – Premium, hypoallergenic, naturally white

Comparing metals side by side highlights how each transforms the mood and personality of a design.

Both natural and lab grown diamonds offer:

• Diamond authenticity
• GIA or IGI certification
• Identical physical and chemical structure

Natural diamonds hold traditional rarity. Lab grown diamonds offer exceptional size and brilliance for the same budget. Viewing them side by side allows you to choose with total clarity and confidence.

Every stone presented is independently graded by GIA or IGI, ensuring:

• Transparent grading
• Verified cut, colour, clarity, and carat
• Authentic certification
• Long-term security and value

This is your safeguard against poor-quality stones and misleading information.

Selecting a ring for one of life’s biggest moments should feel thoughtful, personal, and inspiring. Whether you are beginning your wedding journey or exploring meaningful jewellery, this bespoke process helps you understand how different rings reflect your style and story.

Your engagement ring is one of the most meaningful pieces of jewellery you will ever create or gift. Don’t propose with something ordinary. Discover how effortless, personal, and value-focused the bespoke experience can be.
