CHOOSING AN ENGAGEMENT RING
We can keep a secret
Keeping your proposal secret can be nerve-racking enough. If you’re confident of your love, you probably know she’ll say “yes” to you – but will she say “yes” to the ring? So here’s how to make sure you get the right answer.
Design to your budget
No matter what you can afford, we’ll make sure that your handcrafted design takes their breath away – and you can’t put a price on that.
Working out your budget gets things off to a good start.
We’ll explain the components that add up – diamonds, gemstones, style of ring, the setting and the craftsmanship.
You can handpick your own diamond, with affordability in mind.
Make it right for them
You probably know your partner well enough to know what they like – their taste, style, and personality. We’ll take all of this into account, to help you choose everything from the shape of the diamond, to the design of the engagement ring. It might be a classic solitaire, an ornate vintage inspired piece, or a three stone trilogy. With our guidance and your input, we know they will love their ring, as much as they love you.
A fitting choice
Try to get hold of an existing dress ring to get their finger size right.
We are very good at estimating size but if you need to modify, resizing is FREE.
Consider an inexpensive proposal ring which you can surprise them with – then after the thrill of the proposal, you can choose the dream engagement ring together.
When your partner already knows what they want
Saying “I do” is an exciting commitment. But if you finds the thought of choosing the right engagement ring daunting, we can make it easy for . All they have to do is come in and select the diamond that will be the brilliant centre piece of your individual creation. Without any guesswork you can be sure you and your individually designed engagement ring, will live happily ever after.
A beautiful reflection of you
Knowing what you want takes a lot of pressure off your partner. They get their one true love – and you get your dream ring – a design that reflects your taste, style and personality. It’s an easy decision that makes perfectly good sense. It’s as simple as:
Your fiancé selects the diamond shape you both like. (They may choose to quietly let us know their budget – or be upfront about it.)
You let us know what you’d like in diamond size, colour and clarity.
You choose the design that best suits you – solitaire, halo, claw-set or bead-set.
We record all your details such as finger size, design style, your prefered metal type and keep it on your personal file.
Then your fiancé simply comes in with your record card, confirms your name and we commence your unique design!

THE DIAMONDS
Some days are diamonds
There’s no doubt about it, a diamond is the ultimate gift of love. So before you buy an engagement ring, you need to start by choosing the diamond that best suits you both.
Just like every couple, no two diamonds are exactly the same, so choosing the diamond’s shape and understanding the four C’s – carat, clarity, cut and colour is an important part of the decision-making. We stock both mined diamonds and lab grown diamonds as we believe it is important to offer our customers choice. You’ll then have a full appreciation of the value of your diamond, which we’ll hand select to ensure you get the maximum beauty and value for your budget.

Fact 5: Sustainably sourced and conflict-free
At Andrew Mazzone Design Jeweller we are committed to sourcing our diamonds and gemstones in the most ethical and environmentally responsible manner possible. We only deal with members of the Jewellery Association of Australia who adhere to strict codes of conduct and the Kimberley Process. We also stock lab grown diamonds that are sourced from official laboratories.
The Kimberley Process is a joint government, industry and civil society initiative to stem the flow of conflict diamonds – rough diamonds used by rebel movements to finance wars against legitimate governments. This prevents the flow of conflict diamonds, ensuring that the journey from mine to supplier to designer is conflict-free.
