The Art Of Engagement
An engagement ring is a deeply personal decision; one that balances sentiment, design, and craftsmanship. From understanding the characteristics of diamonds to exploring styles that feel true to you, this guide is designed to help you choose your ring with confidence.
Each SARAH & SEBASTIAN engagement ring is handcrafted by our master jewellers, bringing together innovative design with traditional goldsmithing. Made to order in our Sydney studio, every piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail.
The Four C's For Diamond Rings
Understanding a diamond begins with knowing what to look for and why it matters. Individually selected for their character, beauty and quality, our ethically sourced natural diamonds are defined by subtle variations in cut, colour, clarity and carat weight.
This guide offers an introduction to what shapes a diamond’s individuality, helping you understand how diamonds are assessed and how to find the balance that feels right for you.
Diamond Shapes
From marquise to cushion, each diamond shape carries its own lineage and design history. We believe the ultimate choice should be guided by personal style and intuition, while supported by an understanding of the significance and subtleties of each form.
Diamond or Coloured Gemstone?
While natural diamonds remain a timeless choice, precious coloured gemstones can offer a personal point of view. From Sapphires and Emeralds to Rubies, colour brings depth and individuality. Chosen alone or paired with diamonds, gemstones allow for expression beyond convention.
