ENGAGEMENT FAQS
ENGAGEMENT APPOINTMENTS
Engagement appointments are available to book online here.
Our diamond vault showcases a thoughtfully curated selection of ethically sourced natural diamonds. Some of these stones are already set in our signature Sarah & Sebastian engagement rings, available for purchase on our website.
PRODUCT
We work exclusively with natural, conflict-free diamonds compliant with the Kimberley Process, and certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the world’s foremost authority on diamonds.
It will take 8 weeks for sourced diamonds or 20 business days for diamonds from our diamond vault.
Many clients will opt for white gold or platinum claws paired with a yellow gold band, as this creates a beautiful ‘floating’ effect for the diamond.
All of our engagement rings are designed and handcrafted in our Sydney studio.
CLIENT CONSIDERATIONS
Yes, SARAH & SEBASTIAN offers clients the opportunity to create customised rings through our Atelier service. 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.
We design our solitaire engagement rings with tapering bands to achieve a delicate appearance while ensuring durability for daily wear. The base of the ring is slightly thicker to withstand the everyday pressure it faces.
If you prefer a non-tapered band (uniform thickness all around), the minimum thickness we typically offer is 1.8mm. Please consult your engagement specialist to confirm availability, as this can also depend on the size of the engagement stone.
Firstly, to ensure the colours match perfectly. Secondly, different alloys are more likely to scratch against each other, potentially damaging both the wedding band and the engagement ring. In some instances, the wedding band may scratch against the engagement ring prong, which could loosen or break it, compromising the security of the stone.
AFTERCARE
With the purchase of your engagement ring, you’ll receive a complimentary SARAH & SEBASTIAN ultrasonic cleaner for home use, to keep your ring sparkling. Additionally, we provide free lifetime cleaning at all of our stores, which you can schedule online.
We provide one complimentary resize on all Sarah & Sebastian engagement rings within the first three years from the final payment.
