ENGAGEMENT RING

Your engagement ring in Paris, made to measure

Every engagement ring is unique, and every natural diamond has its own story. I work by private appointment with a single focus: finding the right stone for your moment, whether you're drawn to a classic colourless diamond or a rare natural Fancy Color. Bespoke, conflict-free, GIA or HRD certified.

Classic diamonds (D to Cape)

The colourless to slightly tinted scale, from the rarest (D) to the most accessible (Cape). The basis of the vast majority of engagement rings, a safe, timeless choice.

Configure my ring

Fancy Color diamonds

Yellow, pink, blue, cognac, green... Coloured diamonds follow a different scale, where hue and intensity matter more than whiteness. Rare stones, for a bold choice.

Coloured gemstones

Emerald, ruby, sapphire, for those who want an engagement ring without a diamond, or paired with a coloured gem. Choose a stone to learn more and make your request.

Your engagement ring in Paris, chosen with a diamond dealer

Buying your engagement ring from a diamond dealer means choosing the stone before the setting. I am an HRD Certified Diamond Grader and spent more than 20 years buying diamonds in Angola and the DRC. I show you several certified natural diamonds side by side, and explain what makes the price difference between them.

How your ring is created

  1. Private appointment at 33 rue de Mogador, Paris 9th, near the Opéra. We talk about your project, your budget and your partner's style.
  2. Choosing the diamond. I select several GIA, HRD or IGI certified natural diamonds that match your criteria. You see them in person or on video.
  3. Choosing the setting. Solitaire, three-stone, pavé, halo, Art Deco or vintage, in 18-carat yellow, white or rose gold, or in platinum.
  4. Crafting in our workshops in Paris or Antwerp, then setting of your stone.
  5. Handover of the ring with its certificate. Resizing is free, and an engraving inside the band is possible.

What budget for an engagement ring in Paris?

The price depends mostly on the diamond: its carat weight, colour, clarity and cut quality. At the same weight, two diamonds can have very different prices. I always offer you several options within your budget, and tell you frankly where the money is best spent. What budget for an engagement ring?
