Choosing an Engagement Ring
Choosing your engagement ring or choosing a ring to propose to your partner with, can feel overwhelming. we are here to make the process clearer and easier, to guide you every step of the way, so you feel confident in your choices and that you find the perfect ring.
Ellis offers a range of engagement rings in her signature style, from large and statement to elegant and delicate. You can also commission a completely unique ring, customise an existing design with different metals or gemstones, or if you have inherited diamonds or gold, these can often be reused in your new ring.
HOW TO START
We recommend first browsing our alternative engagement rings online, to discover the designs you initially like the look of. Are you drawn to chunky statement pieces, or more delicate styles? Do you like the colours of diamonds on offer or would you prefer a different gemstone or diamond? Are you happy with yellow gold, or would you prefer a different metal? The main collection is in 14ct yellow gold but there are a lot of different options to choose from. Browse the Diamond Gallery for examples of unique diamond options.
Thinking about your daily life is important, as this is a ring you or your partner will wear everyday – are you someone who wears a lot of rings, so a chunkier ring will be no problem to wear, or would you prefer something subtle?
STONE CHOICES
Ellis works predominantly with diamonds, for both their strength and beauty.
However, if you would prefer another stone please get in touch.
USING AN INHERITED DIAMOND / GEMSTONE AND/OR GOLD
There’s also the possibility of remodelling an inherited ring / inherited stone. We would love to discuss incorporating an heirloom stone into our designs. Please contact us for further details on how this works.
PLANNING A PROPOSAL
If you are surprising your to be fiancée with an unexpected proposal, we would recommend purchasing one of the in stock engagement rings, as then once you have proposed the ring can either be sized or exchanged for a different style, within 14 days of purchase. Simply email hello@ellismhairicameron.com when you order, to let us know that you are planning on proposing, so the ring may come back for a resize, or be exchanged for a different style.
All Made to Order jewellery is non-exchangeable and non-refundable, so we would always recommend proposing with an in stock ring, for flexibility.
Please note that if exchanging, the proposal ring must be returned in an unworn state.
We also have a Diamond Gallery, where you can pick a diamond (or contact for other stones) to propose with, and then your fiancée can help design their ring when you have proposed.

RING SIZE
It’s highly unlikely that you will know your partners ring size if it’s a surprise, and it’s very hard to guess without measuring their finger. We would always recommend ordering the style of ring you like, which we will make in a ‘standard’ ring size, as all our engagement rings can be sized once you’ve proposed to the correct ring size.
