Choosing an engagement ring is one of life’s most meaningful moments. Whether you’re
planning a surprise proposal or choosing a ring together, our collection of handcrafted engagement rings offers
something truly special. From timeless classics to modern silhouettes, every piece is designed and handmade in
England using responsibly sourced materials and expert craftsmanship. Explore our guide to find the perfect ring
that reflects your love story.
Engagement Ring Styles
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to engagement rings. Whether you’re
drawn to the timeless elegance of a solitaire, the symbolism of a trilogy ring representing your past, present
and future, or the added sparkle of a halo setting, our designs suit every personality and love story.
The right diamond will capture the light – and your heart. We’re here to guide you
through the essentials, the 4 C's: cut, colour, clarity, and carat. Whether you’re after a brilliant sparkle
or a more subtle gleam, we’ll help you make an informed, confident choice.
While diamonds are the traditional choice for engagement rings, we’ve always loved
the charm and character of coloured gemstones. Sapphires, rubies, and emeralds offer rich, meaningful
alternatives – each with their own story to tell. From deep ocean blues to vibrant greens and romantic reds,
these stones add a unique and personal touch to your ring.
We often incorporate coloured gemstones into our designs, whether as a bold
centrepiece or a subtle pop of colour. They’re a contemporary favourite, and a beautiful way to express
individuality and emotion.
Every engagement ring we create is designed and handmade in our London workshops. With
skilled craftsmanship, ethical practices, and attention to detail, we ensure each piece is as enduring as the love it represents.
We craft our engagement rings using 18ct solid gold – available in yellow, white, or
rose – and platinum, known for its strength and lasting brilliance. Each metal brings a different tone and
character, giving you the freedom to choose what suits the wearer's style and skin tone best.
We believe jewellery should be as kind to the planet as it is beautiful. From
responsibly sourced diamonds, to naturally coloured sapphires, to the use of Fairmined Gold in selected
pieces, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.
Explore our full collection of handcrafted engagement rings. Some styles are available
for immediate delivery, while others are made to order to your exact specifications.

Each piece is completely unique, designed and handmade in England using rare and exceptional gemstones.

Frequently Asked Questions
From sizing to stone choices, we’ve gathered the answers to your most-asked engagement ring questions.
What is the best gemstone for an engagement ring?
The best gemstone for an engagement ring is a personal choice, but diamonds are the most popular option
due to their durability and timeless appeal. We would always suggest a gemstone with a higher rating on
the MOHs hardness scale to ensure that it will withstand daily wear. Our favourite coloured gemstone
choices include sapphires and emeralds.
How much should I spend on an engagement ring?
The amount you should spend on an engagement ring varies based on personal preference and budget. A
beautiful ring to treasure will always be one that has been purchased free of stress, pressure or
financial worry! Our collection has a mix of price points to hopefully suit a wide range of budgets.
Can I customise my Alex Monroe engagement ring?
Yes! We offer a Bespoke Jewellery Service where
you can work with our Bespoke Team to customise options for engagement rings, allowing you to choose the
metal, gemstone, and design that best suits your style.
What are the lead times for Alex Monroe engagement rings?
The lead time for Alex Monroe engagement rings varies depending on the design and any customisation
options. Whilst we have some rings available for immediate delivery, most of our rings are made to order,
so please allow up to 10 weeks for us to finish hand making your ring. Lead times for rings commissioned
through our Bespoke Service vary, but our team
will discuss timing with you up front. If you need your ring sooner, please contact Customer Care.
How do I choose the right engagement ring size
Choosing the right size can feel tricky—especially if you’re planning a surprise! One of the best ways is
to discreetly borrow a ring they already wear on their ring finger (or the closest fit) and bring it into
one of our Boutiques, or a local jeweller, to be measured. You can also order one of our free ring sizers to check it yourself at home.
If in doubt, a trusted friend or family member might be able to help with sizing advice. And don’t worry -
most rings can be resized after the proposal if needed.
What if I guess the engagement ring size and get it wrong?
Don’t worry, you’re in good company — many engagement rings are chosen as a surprise, so sizing
uncertainty is completely normal. If the size isn’t quite right, we offer an exchange for the correct size
within our returns timeframe, as long as the ring is new, unworn, and in a re-sellable condition. If your
chosen size isn’t in stock, we can make a brand new ring to order just for you. Prefer to keep the
original? All of our 18ct Gold engagement rings include one complimentary resize within six months of
purchase.
I purchased a ring but the size isn’t right — what can I do?
We offer a free resize within 6 months of purchase. Contact our Customer Care team and they'll advise you how best to
return the ring to be resized.
Can I wear my engagement ring every day?
Yes, you can wear your engagement ring every day. However, it's important to take care of it by avoiding
exposure to perfumes, lotions or harsh chemicals and by removing it during activities that may cause
damage—for instance gardening or swimming.
How do I clean and care for my engagement ring?
To clean your engagement ring, you can use a soft cloth and warm soapy water to gently scrub the ring.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For more detailed care instructions, please refer to
our Care Guide. We also offer a one-time
complimentary ultrasonic cleaning service within 12 months of purchase—just contact our Customer Care team and we’ll handle the
rest.
How will my Alex Monroe engagement ring be packaged?
Your engagement ring will be beautifully packaged in our signature Alex Monroe branded, hinged ring
box—perfect for that proposal moment! Our boxes are made from recycled materials without compromising on
quality.
