Designing Your Dream Engagement Ring with Markbridge Jewellers
- by Mark Wildman
When it comes to an engagement ring, nothing compares to the magic of a piece made just for you. At Markbridge Jewellers, we believe an engagement ring should tell your story — a reflection of your love, style, and vision. That’s why our master jeweller, Mark, offers a bespoke design service, guiding you from concept to creation in crafting the perfect ring.
The Custom Design Journey
The process begins with a personal consultation with Mark, where ideas are brought to life. Whether you arrive with a clear vision or just a spark of inspiration, Mark will take the time to understand your preferences, from the style of setting and metal choice to the overall feel you want the ring to embody. Sketches and design discussions ensure every detail is thoughtfully considered.
Mark’s philosophy is that a custom engagement ring should feel timeless yet deeply personal. Every design is approached with craftsmanship and creativity, blending your input with his decades of experience in fine jewellery.
Sourcing & Selecting the Diamond
One of the most exciting stages is selecting the diamond (or coloured gemstone, if you prefer). At Markbridge Jewellers, we source diamonds with the utmost care, focusing not only on the 4Cs — cut, colour, clarity, and carat — but also on the character and brilliance of each stone.
Mark will guide you through viewing a curated selection of diamonds that align with your design and budget. He explains the unique qualities of each stone, ensuring you feel confident in your choice. This hands-on approach allows you to connect with the diamond that will ultimately symbolise your commitment.
Crafting the Ring
Once the design and stone are chosen, the craftsmanship begins. Every ring is handmade with precision, using time-honoured techniques and modern innovations to ensure both beauty and durability. The transition from a sketched concept to a finished jewel is a remarkable journey — and you’re involved every step of the way.
From the delicate shaping of the setting to the final polish that brings out the diamond’s sparkle, Mark oversees every detail with meticulous care. The result is more than a ring; it’s a lifelong treasure, built to be cherished and handed down for generations.
A Personal Experience
What makes a Markbridge bespoke engagement ring truly special is the personal connection. You’re not just purchasing a piece of jewellery; you’re part of the creative process. The end result reflects your individuality and your story as a couple, captured in a ring that is uniquely yours.
