Choosing your engagement ring is an exciting milestone, but the sheer variety of options on the market can often feel overwhelming. At SARAH & SEBASTIAN, we understand how significant this decision is, which is why we offer a bespoke engagement ring service with an expert team to guide you every step of the way.

Whether you’re planning the ultimate surprise for your partner or you envision embarking on this journey together, our tailored appointments are designed to meet your needs, ensuring you find—or create—exactly what you’re looking for to reflect your love story. 

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR ENGAGEMENT APPOINTMENT

Hosted in private suites at our stores across Australia, our diamond specialists will walk you through our signature engagement ring designs, diamond sourcing process, quality parameters, and bespoke customisation options. If desired, you'll also have the opportunity to explore bridal jewellery to complement your ring. We have specialists trained in diamond grading and gemmology, ensuring you receive expert guidance and care. 

During the appointment, our experts will discern your diamond and design preferences and use this information to source the perfect stone. Our expert gemologists will work with our ethically certified suppliers to hand-select the perfect stone. We’ll then provide you with detailed imagery, and a certification of your chosen natural diamond before proceeding with production, ensuring complete transparency and confidence in your selection.

Your piece is then handcrafted within 6-8 weeks by our master jewellers in our Sydney studio. Your dedicated Diamond Specialist will be with you every step of this process, from the design to the final creation of your unique piece.

THE SIGNATURE SARAH & SEBASTIAN ENGAGEMENT RING COLLECTION

Handcrafted by our master jewellers in our Sydney studio, we blend our distinctive modern aesthetic with traditional techniques. Each ring is a testament to refined artistry, embodying our signature design ethos, from contemporary forms to classic silhouettes, reimagined.

We offer four signature engagement ring styles: Our Suspense collection features sleek, modern rings with seamless settings, giving the illusion of floating diamonds; our Aria collection is an evolution of the classic Toi et Moi ring, each piece championing a floating centre diamond with a wrapped band. We also offer classic Solitaire designs and multi-diamond engagement rings.

READY-TO-SHIP ENGAGEMENT RINGS

If your proposal is imminent, and depending on availability during your appointment, your diamond specialist may also present you with a selection of exceptional loose diamonds from our Diamond Vault. These are available to set in your preferred design immediately, bypassing the diamond sourcing stage.

BESPOKE OPTIONS FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING

You can customise every aspect of your chosen ring design. Choose the type of metal—18-karat yellow or white gold, or platinum—the setting style, and the band style—round, knife or square, plain or embellished with diamonds. You can also discuss the cut and clarity of your centre diamond or gemstone, with guidance from your diamond specialist.

RING SIZING

Should you be surprising your loved one with an engagement ring, we recommend subtly finding out their ring size or bringing in a ring that they own and often wear on their ring finger to ensure the correct sizing.

However, we understand that this may not always be the most accurate representation of their size and finger sizes can fluctuate. Thus, we offer a complimentary resize within three years of the final payment for your ring.

ATELIER SERVICE

SARAH & SEBASTIAN Atelier is a departure from our Bespoke service, with one-of-a-kind pieces created outside of our traditional offering. Jewellery within this service is exclusively designed to suit your requirements, however, will always embody SARAH & SEBASTIAN’s signature DNA.

You will have the opportunity to work closely with our diamond specialists to create a custom piece – including an extensive range of gemstones, metals and diamonds – with your vision brought to life by our master craftsmen in our Sydney Studio. Prices start at $10,000.

THE SARAH & SEBASTIAN DIAMOND

At SARAH & SEBASTIAN, the diamond is the starting point for every engagement ring, each one selected by hand and responsibly sourced. We exclusively work with natural white and champagne diamonds, between 'internally flawless’ and VS2, and D-G on the colour scale. As our commitment lies in working with ethically sourced natural stones of the highest quality, we do not currently offer lab-grown diamonds.

All our diamonds are graded by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), the foremost global authority on diamond grading, and are conflict-free, adhering to the Kimberley Process.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Our engagement rings are encased in a luxurious polished aluminium shell, which traces the organic outline of an iconic Australian Pipi. This sleek shell is designed to transform into a forever trinket box to house your most treasured jewellery pieces or your engagement piece when it's not being worn.

The shell will then be packaged in our signature matte white box, subtly embossed with a shell silhouette and our SARAH & SEBASTIAN wordmark, along with your corresponding diamond certificate and documentation, with the option to have it delivered or arranged to be picked up in-store.

SARAH & SEBASTIAN WEDDING BANDS

If time allows, we will also share samples of wedding bands during your engagement appointment. An opportunity to mix and match different styles with your engagement ring-to-be, this often helps to inform your decision and may inspire you to choose your wedding bands for the big day.

FOLLOWING YOUR APPOINTMENT

Once you choose to move forward with your SARAH & SEBASTIAN engagement ring, we will offer two sets of complimentary quotes with different design alternatives.

These quotes will detail the diamonds or gemstones available at the time of sourcing. Our gemologists will always source the best diamond based on the discussion and preferences agreed upon during your appointment.

Your dedicated specialist is always available to discuss your quotes should you need further assistance, and if you wish to delve into the diamond's characteristics in further detail.

SECURE YOUR RING WITH A DEPOSIT

Once you have decided on your final design and diamond, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit to secure the stone. This confirms your commitment to your chosen stone and ring style, enabling us to proceed with the purchase of the stone and begin production on the piece.

DIAMOND CERTIFICATION

You will receive a GIA certification with your natural diamond, including a report number detailing the unique qualities of your chosen stone.

WHEN TO EXPECT YOUR FINISHED ENGAGEMENT RING

The process of bringing your engagement ring to life is estimated between 6-8 weeks. During this time, our engagement consultants will keep you up to date on when your diamond has arrived, when production has begun, and when it has been completed.

ETERNAL CARE

At SARAH & SEBASTIAN, we offer a 36-month warranty for engagement rings and a lifelong care service. We invite you to visit any of our stores for a complimentary clean of your engagement ring whenever you wish.
