Handcrafted Engagement Rings Made with Meaning
Your engagement ring marks the beginning of something beautiful, a symbol of love, commitment, and the promise of a future together. At Blacklock Jewellery, we create bespoke engagement rings in London, handcrafted in our workshop.
Whether you have a clear vision or need help bringing your ideas to life, we work closely with you to design a one-of-a-kind engagement ring that captures your story in every detail.
Designing Your Dream Engagement Ring
Every love story is unique, and your ring should be, too. At Blacklock Jewellery, we offer a completely personalised experience, where you get to shape every part of the design, from the stone and setting to the metal and finish.
With gemmological expertise running through the business, we are able to help you choose the right diamond or gemstone, guiding you through the different characteristics (4C’s), cuts, and styles. We also make sure the finished piece is not only stunning and of the highest quality but also comfortable and practical for everyday wear.
We believe the experience of creating an engagement ring should be just as special as the moment it’s given, meaningful, memorable, and thrilling on every level.
Why Choose a Bespoke Engagement Ring?
A bespoke engagement ring gives you the opportunity to create something truly personal, a ring that reflects your partner’s style, your shared story, and the values you both hold dear. Whether you want it to match your wedding rings or other bespoke jewellery, book an appointment at Blacklock Jewellery today to start the journey.
For us bespoke doesn’t mean complicated. It means collaboration, care, and a result that’s unlike anything else. You’ll never be choosing an off-the-shelf ring; instead, we’ll work with you to shape your ideas with integrity, considered detail, and expert craftsmanship.

Personal, One-to-One Service
You’ll work directly with a professional jeweller and gemmologist, not a salesperson. We take time to listen, explain your options, and help you make confident and considered decisions.
Craftsmanship at the Core
Every engagement ring is handmade in our workshop where time-honoured craft meets modern precision. Our work is defined by quality, substance, and a commitment to lasting beauty.
Ethical Sourcing
We use only sustainably sourced natural diamonds and materials from trusted suppliers, with a focus on transparency and traceability.
Appointment Only
All consultations are by appointment, so you’ll have our full attention. Our approach is grounded in transparency and thoughtful guidance, always shaped around you, not anyone else.
Bespoke Designs: How the Process Works
Designing a bespoke engagement ring is a creative and enjoyable experience. Here's how it works:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a one-to-one meeting, either in person or over a video call. It’s a chance to explore your ideas, inspiration, budget, and any practical considerations together. Wherever you're starting from, we’ll make the process simple, enjoyable, and clear.
2. Stone Selection
We’ll source a selection of high-quality natural diamonds or gemstones that suit your preferences and price range. From timeless diamonds to sapphires, emeralds, and alternative precious gemstones, we help you understand what’s available and what’s right for you.
3. Design & Approval
Based on your feedback, we’ll create sketches or 3D visuals (dependent on the required complexity) so you can see the design come to life. With the design in place, we’ll work closely with you to perfect every detail, until it feels exactly as it should.
4. Handcrafted in London
Once the design is approved, your ring will be crafted by hand in our workshop. This process typically takes 4–6 weeks. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way, including photographs of your ring as it’s being brought to life.
5. Presentation & Proposal-Ready
Your finished ring arrives nestled in our signature Blacklock black box, elegant, understated, and designed to heighten the anticipation of that unforgettable moment.
We’ll provide the necessary relevant documentation on receipt of the goods and guidance on how to care for your ring.
After 190 years of crafting engagement rings, we’ve picked up a few good proposal ideas too, just ask if you'd like a little guidance.
Documentation supplied: Receipt, valuation document, diamond/gemstone certificate (if applicable).
Sustainably Sourced and Natural Diamonds
We’re committed to using only natural diamonds that are responsibly and ethically sourced. We work with trusted stone dealers and suppliers to ensure that every stone is conflict-free and transparently traceable from mine to maker.
Whether you're looking for a classic white diamond, a vintage-inspired old-cut stone, or something more unique like a salt-and-pepper diamond, we’ll help you choose a gem that feels just right for both your design and your values.
Wherever possible, we use recycled precious metal, particularly single mine origin gold, which ensures our gold comes from a single, responsible source rather than being mixed with gold from multiple origins.
Ring Style
Because every ring is custom-designed, your options are truly endless. That said, here are some popular styles we regularly create:
- Classic solitaire engagement rings
- Three-stone rings
- Halo settings
- Vintage-inspired designs
- Modern minimalist rings
- Unusual stones and alternative settings
We also love working on gender-neutral and non-traditional design.
Diamond Engagement Rings
Timeless, elegant, and full of meaning, diamond engagement rings remain one of the most cherished ways to symbolise love and commitment. At Blacklock Jewellery, we create handcrafted diamond rings tailored to your vision, whether you’re drawn to a classic round brilliant cut, a romantic oval, or a distinctive radiant cut set in a vintage-style. Each diamond is carefully selected for its quality and beauty but is always underpinned by being ethically sourced. At Blacklock, we can source diamonds in any shape or carat weight, including the world’s most extraordinary fancy-coloured stones, where rarity, exquisite colour and radiance go hand in hand. Whatever you choose, we believe it must be set in a way that elevates its natural beauty.
We’ll work with you to create a diamond ring as individual as your love story, exploring a range of shapes, sizes, and settings, from timeless solitaires to intricate one-of-a-kind designs. A Blacklock engagement ring is made to be worn for a lifetime and cherished beyond it.
Matching Wedding Bands and Eternity Rings
Wedding rings and eternity rings can be designed to complement your engagement ring beautifully.Whether it’s a shared design detail or a custom contour that fits seamlessly, we’ll ensure each piece complements the next, creating a beautifully balanced matching set to mark every chapter of your story. Whether you’re commissioning all three at once or coming back later for a wedding or anniversary, our role is to make the process seamless, thoughtful, and truly special.

Design Deposit for Bespoke Rings
In some cases, particularly for more complex or unique designs, a design deposit may be required to cover the cost of creating detailed sketches or technical drawings. This deposit helps cover the time and work involved and is fully deducted from the final price of the ring if you go ahead with the commission. It’s not always necessary, but when it is, we’ll let you know upfront. Contact our team today.
