Together, we create a masterpiece that is meaningful, one-of-a-kind, and perfectly matched to your partner.
Guide to Customised Engagement Ring
Why Choose a Customised Engagement Ring?
Finding the right engagement ring for your proposal
Custom design allows you to bring your vision to life. Whether your inspiration comes from modern minimalism, vintage Art Deco, or a timeless classic, you can select the exact shape, size, style, and technical specifications you want. Most importantly, a customised engagement ring offers better emotional value, adds significance, and is simply extraordinary.
The Dilemma: Typically, the man is expected to pick the perfect engagement ring. Yet, walking through a street of jewellery stores can be confusing. After endless research and inquiries, many still cannot find “the one.” Sometimes, a thousand generic choices are simply not enough.
The Solution: This is where the magic of customisation comes in. Instead of the standard white gold diamond solitaire seen everywhere, a bespoke piece transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, creating an engagement ring that is truly unique.
- Quality and Craftsmanship: Each custom ring is meticulously handcrafted by our skilled master craftsmen, ensuring that every detail is executed to perfection. Unlike mass-produced rings, a bespoke design is an heirloom in the making. We believe that it should be a piece of jewellery passed down through generations, becoming part of your family heritage.
- Personalisation: Every aspect of a custom detailing reflects your partner’s personality, from the choice of gemstone to the design style. Whether your love story calls for a modern twist or art deco vintage, your engagement ring will be as unique as your connection.
Process of Creating an Engagement Ring
A well-thought-out plan is the key to perfection. We recommend a minimum of 12 weeks for the entire journey, starting from research and gem selection to the final handcrafting. It is a time investment that pales in comparison to the lifetime of joy it promises.
Step-by-Step Journey:
- Gemstone selection: We help you select the gemstone that best reflects your partner’s unique style and personality. From the deep Royal Blue of a Sapphire to the neon glow of a Paraiba Tourmaline, we guide you through colours, shades, and shapes to find the perfect match.
- Consultation: We sit down with you to understand your partner’s preference, design inspiration, and your comfortable budget. You can share mood boards, screenshots, or even rough sketches.
- Design Phase: Based on your design ideas, our designers will instantly draft a variety of unique concepts for your ring. We discuss setting options, metal choices (Platinum, Rose Gold, Champagne Gold, Yellow Gold), and personalised details.
- Digital Rendering: Upon confirmation, we create a detailed technical drawing and a 3D-aided rendering. This ensures you can visualise the exact proportions before production begins.
- Handcrafting: Once you approve the design, our artisans begin the forging process, meticulously refining every curve and prong.
- Final Touches: The ring undergoes a rigorous quality check by our master craftsman to guarantee uncompromising excellence.
- Presentation: The moment you have been anticipating. We present your bespoke creation which often even more stunning than you imagined. As part of the experience, we provide professional photographs and a video clip of your ring, capturing the memory forever.
Signature Finishes & Hidden Details
True luxury lies in the details that only you know about. Beyond the gemstone, we personalise the metalwork itself to reflect your style:
- Handcrafted Textures: From rustic hammer marks (Martellé) for a raw, organic feel to vintage filigree wirework (Millegrain) for Art Deco elegance.
- Hidden Engravings: We can craft your initials into the side gallery (profile) of the ring or laser-engrave a private message inside the band.
- Symbolic Prongs: We have created custom prongs in the shape of musical notes, pet paws, or even reversed hearts—subtle tributes that add a layer of secret meaning to your ring.
Unique Engagement Ring Masterpieces: Stories Behind the Sparkle
We believe that no two love stories are alike—and your engagement ring should reflect that individuality. GIOIA Fine Jewellery specialises in one-of-a-kind bespoke creations, crafting unique engagement rings that are personalised to your story and exceptional with precious gemstones.
Every custom ring at GIOIA is a narrative woven in metal and gemstones. Here are some of the iconic unique stories we have had the privilege to craft.
The “Moon & Star” Ruby
Inspired by the celestial night sky, this ring was crafted for a couple who wanted to capture the vastness of their love. The vibrant unheated Ruby represents passion and energy, serving as the sun or a bright planet, while the unique “Moon Crest” setting and scattered diamonds create a poetic reminder that she is his moon and stars.
- The Gem: A vibrant unheated Ruby (her birthstone) represents passion and energy.
- The Setting: A Rose Gold band features a “Moon Crest” cradling the ruby, with scattered diamonds representing the constellations.
- The Meaning: A poetic reminder that she is his moon and stars.
The “Musical Note” Paraiba Tourmaline
A symphony of love captured in a ring. For a partner who lives for music, we crafted custom prongs in the shape of subtle musical quavers, holding a rare Brazil Paraiba Tourmaline. It is a perfect example of how a hidden detail can turn a beautiful ring into a deeply personal tribute.
The “Proposal Necklace” Idea
Not every engagement requires a ring on the finger. We designed a bespoke Padparadscha Sapphire Necklace for a surgeon who could not wear rings in the operating theatre. This elegant, twisted Rose Gold pendant allows her to keep her engagement symbol close to her heart every day, without compromising her profession. It is the ultimate example of practical, personalised luxury.
Planning Your Unique Proposal
Proposing is one of life’s most exciting milestones. But how do you choose a ring that is truly “her”? Here is our guide to uncovering her dream design without spoiling the surprise.
Inspiration: Match Her Eye Colour
For a deeply personal touch, choose a gemstone that mirrors the colour of her eyes. Imagine a sapphire that reflects her captivating blue eyes or a mesmerising green emerald reminiscent of her vibrant gaze. This thoughtful design adds an intimate layer of meaning and ensures her unique proposal ring is unlike any other.
How to Bring Up Proposal Rings Gently
Timing is key. Start by casually talking about the future. You could ask subtle, open-ended questions like, “Do you think it’s more fun to shop together or keep it a surprise?” These kinds of prompts help you understand her preferences without ruining the magic. Pay attention to her jewellery style today—does she wear gold or silver? Vintage floral or modern geometric? These clues are the foundation of your customised engagement ring journey.
Endless Possibilities: From Sketch to Sentiment
At GIOIA, the freedom to design your own custom engagement ring goes far beyond simply choosing a gemstone. It is about translating your abstract memories into tangible luxury. We do not rely on standard templates or catalogues. Instead, we start with a blank canvas, ensuring your ring is the only one of its kind in existence.
Our bespoke process allows us to incorporate deeply personal themes, including:
- Architectural Tributes: We can replicate the silhouette of a significant location, such as the Paris Eiffel Tower or a favourite city skyline, directly into the ring settings.
- Nature Motifs: From ocean waves to floral wreaths and mountain peaks, we sculpt organic forms that symbolise your shared adventures.
- Hidden Sentiments: True luxury is personal. We can hide miniature silhouettes (like a pet rabbit or cat), engrave fingerprints, or create secret prongs shaped like musical notes or initials.
- Fantasy & Hobbies: For couples bonded by gaming or fandoms, we have successfully translated complex themes into elegant, wearable art.
Magical Gemstone Engagement Ring
Gemstone vs. Diamond: Which Should You Choose?
An engagement ring is no longer limited to colourless diamonds. Coloured gemstones allow you to explore varieties such as vivid sapphire, vibrant ruby, timeless emerald. Unlike standardised diamond engagement ring, each precious gemstone possesses its own unique history, rarity, and beauty.
Uniqueness: No two gemstones are identical. From majestic royal blue of a sapphire, the legendary vibrant green of an emerald, or the passionate red of a ruby, these gemstones offer an unparalleled way to express your love. They are investment-grade jewels sought after worldwide.
The Investment: Fine quality coloured gemstones are finite treasures that have historically appreciated in value, offering both beauty and legacy.
Read our deep dive on gemstone engagement rings to explore the meanings, durability, and investment potential of each unique gemstone.
Discovering Coloured Gemstone Magic
How do you decide on the colour? Consider not only the hue but also hardness and durability.
Rare & Timeless: Gems like Paraiba Tourmaline and Muzo Emeralds are exceptionally rare legacies. The electric neon of a Paraiba or the deep complex green of a Muzo Emerald captures the heart instantly.
Expert Guidance: Photos often fail to capture the true fire of a gem. We strongly recommend viewing gemstones in person under natural daylight to understand their true shade and brilliance. This is also a wonderful opportunity for you and your partner to explore different colour shade, if she is open to selecting the gemstone personally. We are here to assist you in selecting an ideal gemstone that aligns with both your personal style and the emotional significance.

The Meaning Behind Customised Engagement Rings
Customisation is the ultimate romantic gesture because it requires time, thought, and deep understanding. When you design a ring from scratch, you are effectively freezing a specific memory or feeling into a physical object. Whether it represents the place you met, a shared passion, or a secret inside joke, the ring becomes a daily reminder of your unique bond, far more significant than any off-the-shelf design.
Turning Memories into Masterpieces
For instance, we once had the privilege of capturing a couple’s fondest memory in the City of Light. We translated the structural elegance of the iconic monument into a ring setting, creating a wearable piece of architecture. You can read the full story of this Paris Eiffel Tower Inspiration to see how a specific memory can shape a design.
This piece serves as a testament to the fact that with a customised ring, your most profound inspirations can be transformed into a wearable masterpiece. Every time you look at your engagement ring, you’ll be reminded of this moment and the love that binds you together.
The Element of Surprise Proposal
Planning a surprise proposal? We offer flexible arrangements to ensure the moment is perfect.
Option 1: The “Gemstone Proposal” You select the perfect gemstone and propose with the loose gem presented in a special box. This allows you to keep the proposal a surprise while giving your partner the joy of co-designing the ring setting with you afterwards. It is the perfect blend of a surprise engagement and a shared experience.
Option 2: The “Joint Selection” Alternatively, you can involve her right from the start. We can introduce you both to our wide variety of gemstones, shades, and shapes to find her perfect match. Once the main gem is selected together, you can take over the design process secretly, surprising her with the final customised masterpiece.
Customised Engagement Ring that lasts a lifetime
Remember, rules are meant to be broken in the world of customised jewellery and wedding bands. Crafting a customised engagement ring for your future wife is an investment in memories and sentimental value. Each detail etched into the bespoke design ring serves as a cherished reminder of the shared design process with the love of your life. In the realm of wedding engagement rings in Singapore, every detail of the ring will strike a certain memory of the design process. Each precious moment was shared with the girl of your dreams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about creating a unique customised engagement ring and what to lookout.
What should I look for when selecting an engagement ring?

Is customising my engagement ring expensive?
It’s a common misconception that customised engagement rings cost more. When comparing quality for quality, we often offer better value than mass-market retailers because you are paying for the stone and craftsmanship, not a brand markup. You are investing in a durable, timeless heirloom.
How much does a customised engagement ring cost?
At GIOIA, customised engagement rings typically start from $2,900, the center natural gemstone can be sapphire, spinel, tourmaline or cluster gemstone. The final price depends primarily on the gemstone (Type, Colour, Carat, Origin) and the complexity of the design.
Can I involve my partner in the design process?
Absolutely! We often see couples visiting together to explore gemstones. We encourage making it a shared journey—creating the ring becomes a cherished memory in itself.
How do I choose the right setting for my engagement ring?
Choosing the right setting is all about personal taste and the look you’re aiming for. Popular options include cathedral engagement ring in pave or halo diamond. Classic trilogy, and vintage styles, each offering a unique aesthetic. At GIOIA, we guide you through the various settings, helping you select one that not only complements your chosen gemstone but also reflects your partner’s style and preferences.
Do you have warranty or aftercare for customised engagement rings?
Yes we do! At GIOIA Fine Jewellery, we take pride in the quality of our craftsmanship. We offer a one year warranty to ensure the durability and integrity of your engagement ring. Additionally, our comprehensive aftercare services include resizing and lifetime cleaning maintenance, so your engagement ring remains as stunning as the day you received it.
How to design my own engagement ring?
Designing your own custom engagement ring is a personalised and unique experience together. You and your partner should really consider doing it together. The process can be incredibly meaningful, and we’re confident you’ll both enjoy the journey and the excitement of bringing your creation to life.
Do you sell lab grown diamonds?
We focus exclusively on natural gemstones. Unlike lab-grown diamonds, which are mass-produced commodities, natural gems are finite treasures that retain their legacy and value over time.
Is a custom ring better than a store-bought brand ring?
A personalised ring offers higher emotional and intrinsic value. With a store-bought ring, you are often paying for the brand markup. At GIOIA, you pay for the rarity of the gemstone and the labour of the master craftsman. Plus, you ensure that no one else in Singapore will be wearing the exact same design on their finger.
