From Classic to Unconventional: 18 of the Best Australian Jewellers for Engagement Rings

These days, engagement rings are a reflection of the wearer’s personality and aesthetic as much as it is a symbol of love and commitment. And like the spectrum of human identities, there are plenty of designs and makers to suit any need.

From the classic white diamond (like a little black dress, it’ll never truly go out of style) to less conventional designs that play with colour, stone and form, here are our picks of the 18 best jewellery designers in Australia right now. They don’t necessarily specialise in engagement rings, but make beautiful ones anyway.

Hamish Munro

Australian designer Hamish Munro‘s designs are defined by time, patience and care rather than seasonal trends.

$1800–$40,000

Tessa Blazey

Melbourne’s Tessa Blazey specialises in custom engagement rings, often reworking gothic elements into contemporary, organic shapes. Her designs are highly sculptural, with stones secured in claw settings that resemble the talons of birds of prey.

Price range

$550–$12,000

Our pick

Karla Way

Karla Way plays with texture and form to craft pieces that look as though they’ve been plucked straight from the earth. Stones are set deeply in rough metals and organic shapes, with much of her asymmetrical work featuring more than one precious stone. The intention is to explore the intersection of the natural world – animals, plants or the heavens – and material culture.

Price range

$240–$4930

Our pick

Holly Ryan

After closing the curtain on her eponymous label in 2023, bespoke jeweller Holly Ryan is back with a renewed brand, identity and purpose – crafting much slower and with more intention.

Price range

$1570 – $6990
