We give you control over every element of the design process for an experience like none other. Your journey towards designing the best engagement ring is sure to be a rewarding one with us. If you have an idea in mind and want to design your own engagement ring, feel free to connect with us. We bring you the finest wedding and engagement rings, crafted to perfection. Proudly designed and created in-house by an experienced team, we can design a ring, especially for you. Book an appointment with us to discuss your requirement.
Definitely. Being jewellery manufacturers, we are capable of making beautiful bespoke designs with your own stones. Depending on the original design, we can even reset diamonds from other completed rings. If you have already purchased a diamond, or you have a diamond that’s very sentimental to you, please don’t hesitate to ask about what we can create for you.
At Artelia we encourage our clients to select their own stone, as it gives them greater control over the quality and size of the diamond, as well as how all of these details relate to their personal price point. Once we have a clear idea of design, and the size and cut of the diamond, we organise to a time for our clients to view a series of diamonds that are perfectly tailored to their designs.
At Artelia all of our experienced team members are more than happy to help you select the perfect ring, but when it comes to jewellery, everyone is different. Think about whether your partner prefers white, yellow or rose gold, the design of any rings they might have already, and if there are any designs that you know of that they really love.
If your partner is someone who has pictures saved, it would be a good idea to save a copy of them on your phone for reference. If they have any friends who can help you (and can keep a secret of course) it might be a good idea to ask them for a little help. Once you’ve gathered all your information, stop by the store and we’ll help you find the perfect design for your special someone.
If you have another ring that your partner wears comfortably on the ring finger of their right hand, that can often be a good indicator of size, alternatively if you know roughly where their ring sits on your finger, that can also help us in getting the size as close as possible. These techniques however only help us to achieve our best guess, and will not be a perfect size match. This is why we include a complementary ring resize with the purchase of every Artelia engagement ring.
At Artelia all of our designs – bespoke or otherwise – are designed to last a lifetime of love and care. This is why we offer a lifetime guarantee on manufacturing faults. However we do not accept responsibility for damage that arises from wear and tear or rough treatment. All of our products are designed to last, but some designs are more delicate than others. We encourage all customers to talk to one of our talented jewellers about how to best take care of their new engagement ring.
Of course we can, Artelia has always been dedicated to bespoke jewellery, and we consider the wedding bands to be a piece that should when possible always be bespoke, particularly for individuals with an engagement ring. It is essential when placing a wedding band – diamond or otherwise – next to an engagement rings that the profile, width and thickness of the two bands are as close to identical as possible, so that it will be visually a true pair.
When it comes to diamond engagement or eternity bands, it is necessary to ensure that the setting and size of the diamonds on the engagement ring and wedding band are identical or complimentary, so that the two rings rest together perfectly. For wedding bands that sit alone, we offer an exceptionally wide range of designs to suit any individual, all of which can of course be customized to suit your tastes.
The manufacturing process for a bespoke ring takes between three to six weeks (usually four) to be completed, depending on the level of detail in your design. Of course don't let this scare you away, if you need the ring urgently, or by a specific date, our team will do our absolute best to ensure that the piece is completed for you right on time.
When it comes to bespoke designs at Artelia, our direct relationship with jewellery manufacturing and our extensive experience in jewellery means that our clients pay accordingly for the value of the piece we have created and the cost of the dedicated workmanship of our jewellers. Artelia does not subscribe to a system in which clients pay for every step of the bespoke process, because designing the piece for you is our specialty, and our prices are very compettitive.
If there is a design in Artelia that is almost the piece of your dreams, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts with our team, we are more than capable of creating the perfect design for you, and are much more interested in personal and unique designs than we are in quick sales. (unless it’s already perfect, in which case we could not be more thrilled for you).
Absolutely! Our site is 100% secure and all our pieces are sent with registrered and insured post.

To create a bespoke design with Artelia we require a 50% deposit before the design is to be created. We are happy to discuss our designs, our prices and our bespoke process with you outside of a monetary commitment, however we require a deposit to secure your diamond, create for you accurate 3D rendered images of your design, and ultimately manufacture your piece. The remaining 50% can be paid at the completion of the bespoke process when you pick up your design. Any payment in the interim means that your payments will be classified as part of a lay-by purchase. We can offer to our clients at Artelia at 16 week Lay-by plan, should you be interested. At Artelia there is no additional cost for altering your design or creating new 3D rendered images of design alternatives before production commences.

Please note, we charge a $40 repolishing fee if the ring needs to be returned.
Platinum is 40% denser than white gold. which makes it heavier, more durable. When considering a platinum ring it is important to note that platinum has a slightly deeper grey shade to it than a white gold, which is beautiful in its own way.
Platinum does not require a rhodium finish, which is often the appeal of platinum to many of our clients, however our white gold is made with palladium, a sister metal to platinum, which gives it a whiter colour and prevents the gold from tarnishing or becoming yellow over time. Once the rhodium plating wears away from our white gold it will be virtually identical in colour to platinum.
On some designs - particularly ones that are larger or carry a significant amount of diamond - platinum can be a wise choice for giving those designs some more support and stability. If you are considering a platinum ring, please don’t hesitate to ask our helpful team about what we can offer you.

Loose Diamonds & Coloured Gemstones
At Artelia all of our diamonds over 0.30ct are independently valued by the Gemological Institute of America, which gives us an independent, accurate and strict measurement of the quality of each and every diamond we keep in our store. GIA certified diamonds are measured for cut, colour, clarity, carat, polish, symmetry and fluorescence.
Each of our team members are more than qualified to explain the details of these measurements to you, as well as how they relate to your diamond of choice. Choosing the perfect diamond is a very personal experience, and at Artelia we always strive to give you the best information, so that you can make your choice with confidence and knowledge.
All diamonds evaluated by the Gemological Institute of America are certified conflict free, which along with their exeptional knowledge of gemstones is one of the reasons why Artelia choses GIA certified stones.
At Artelia we offer an exceptional range of gemstones. All of our gemstones are natural and not in any way colour treated, which allows us to offer our clients a wide and varied range of hues in every kind of gemstone we offer. At our Fountain Gate showroom we present a stunning range of emerald, sapphire, ruby, aquamarine, morganite, tanzanite, amethyst, blue and london blue topaz, citrine and peridot.

Repairs, Valuations and Remodelling
Given our background in manufacturing, we are more than happy to repair your existing jewellery. We will do so efficiently, but without ever compromising the quality of our work. The magic of jewellery is in its history and sentimentality, and we treat those pieces with respect and care.
At Artelia we do not value jewellery in house, but through a jewellery valuing organisation independent of us. This is because we consider it to be more honest and transparent to have out own designs valued independently rather than through our own company. Also just as important is independantly valued diamonds, as are GIA certified diamonds. If you are looking to have your own collection valued, we are more than happy to organise the valuation of your pieces through our store, and more affordably than if you were to contact the valuer directly.

Through our bespoke jewellery services we are also more than happy to remodel your existing rings, we use your stones (and your gold, if for sentimental reasons you would like to use it) and make an entirely new design to your specification from the materials of your original piece. Additionally, if you have lost your ring or in some way irreparably damaged it, we would love to help you remake your original design as exactly as we can.
