Engagement rings gallery

Many of our clients come to us when all else has failed – they’ve tried traditional jewellers, and even looked at jewellers who specialise in unique wedding and engagement ring design and drawn a blank.   Why?  Most jewellers still rely on hand drawn images to show you how your finished commission will look leaving a bridge between their drawing and your imagination.

Whilst we too can draw designs by hand, our state of the art CAD/CAM (computer aided design /manufacture) technology leaves nothing to your imagination – using our design knowledge and expertise we can create, with ease, jewellery that many master goldsmiths would find challenging or impossible – and most importantly, before we’ve even sat down at the jewellers bench to start work you’ll have seen beautiful photographic quality images of your piece which will only be bettered by the real thing.

You might think this sounds expensive, but actually it saves our time and resources and in turn saves your money.  Additionally, you might be told by some jewellers that CAD/CAM is not used by real jewellers – anyone who tells you that “CAD is great for companies that only use pre-cast parts” is simply trying to hide behind a veneer of misunderstanding and fear. CAD/CAM systems are used by many of the worlds major high quality jewellers. The learning curve to using this technology is very steep and these extremely complex systems do not use pre-cast parts – all of our designs are drawn, if you like, not using pencils but using a mouse, entirely from scratch.

 Things to consider when choosing your engagement ring include:

DESIGN:   An engagement ring will need to fit with your lifestyle and personality, as well as fitting your budget. Like clothes , jewellery is a statement of your personal style. Would you like your ring to be:

• Traditional – perhaps a symmetrical cluster head or prong/claw set solitare
• Modern symmetrical – a tension style set stone or perhaps a bezel set solitare
• Asymetrical : A pattern or stones scattered across your finger in a random style, or a single stone offset in an asmetrical band

METAL:   Another important consideration for your choice of wedding or engagement is metal. Your choice of metal will be down to colour preferance, durability and budget.  

GEMSTONES:   Here at Atelier, we have a great deal of knowledge about stones.  We can often show you stones that most jewellers don’t even know about, let alone source.  We have a wide range of trusted and experienced stone dealers whom we use to get you the best prices, and the best quality stones available whatever your budget.   If you want a ruby, we’ll find you at least four or five to choose from in varying shades within the price range you choose.  You want diamonds? Choose from white or “fancy” diamonds in yellow, pink, brown, black and orange.   Don’t like modern cuts ? – no worries – we have cutters who can produce traditional, more subtle rose cuts  – or be daring and choose an engagement ring set with an uncut diamond in its natural state.  We can show you a world of star sapphires and rubies, rough diamonds and other unusual and hard to source gemstones.
