A ring with your story
Bespoke Engagement Rings in London
Choose the stone, shape and details of a ring that feels like you. Tom Hubbard guides your engagement ring commission personally, from an initial conversation to a finished piece made with specialist London craftspeople.
Start with the person, then the ring
You might have a precise design in mind, a favourite gemstone colour or just a sense of the person who will wear it. Bring those ideas to the first conversation. Tom has more than 22 years of experience designing and manufacturing fine jewellery, with a family background in the trade, and can help you turn references into a clear direction.
Discuss how the ring will be worn, whether it needs to sit beside a wedding band and which details matter most. A comfortable budget and a proposed date are helpful starting points; you do not need to arrive with a finished design.
Pieces to begin the conversation
These are existing designs from the collection, shown as inspiration. Ask about the particular piece or discuss a new commission.

Leyla Sapphire Halo
£2,700.00
Choose a diamond or a coloured gemstone
A diamond single-stone design keeps the focus on the centre diamond and its proportions. A coloured gemstone introduces another choice: the shade you want to see in different light. Sapphire and diamond combinations can take the form of a cluster, a halo or a three-stone ring.
Compare the outline of the stone, the height of the setting and how the design looks on the hand. Ask Tom about the individual stone’s characteristics, any treatments, available documentation and care requirements. Explore diamond rings, sapphire engagement rings and three-stone designs to find a useful starting point.
From your brief to the finished ring
- Conversation and direction. Discuss your ideas, budget, occasion and preferred timing. Tom helps identify suitable gemstones and design possibilities.
- Design and approval. Drawings, CAD or a resin prototype can help refine the setting, proportions and details before making begins.
- Making and completion. Specialist London craftspeople mount, set and polish the ring. The schedule, presentation and delivery arrangements are agreed for your commission.
Budget, sizing and proposal plans
Gemstone choice, size and quality, precious metal and the complexity of the setting all affect the price. Ask for an individual quote that sets out the stone and design details. Prices on existing pieces are a reference for those pieces, not a fixed quote for a different bespoke design.
If the proposal is a surprise, mention that before trying to determine the finger size. Tom can discuss the practical options for your chosen setting. Resizing suitability depends on the design; read the ring sizing guide and confirm the arrangements for your ring.
Include it in your first message. Sourcing the stone, approving the design and making the ring all affect timing. Tom will confirm what is possible before you commit to a schedule.
Your engagement ring questions
Can I start without knowing the exact design?
Yes. Share colours, reference images, the intended wearer’s style and your approximate budget. Those details can guide the first discussion.
Can I adapt a ring from the collection?
Use an existing piece as a reference and ask Tom about possible changes to the gemstone, metal, proportions or setting. Feasibility and price are confirmed for the individual design.
Is there a fixed starting price or delivery time?
Each ring is quoted individually. Price and timing depend on the stone and work involved; request a personal quote and confirmed schedule.
How do I arrange the first conversation?
Use the enquiry form to tell Tom what you have in mind. Include your preferred way to talk, approximate budget and any proposal date. Tom can then discuss the next step with you.
