An engagement ring is more than a piece of jewellery. It's a symbol of love and the start of your next chapter together, and one day it may become a treasured family heirloom. At Leskes Jewellers, engagement rings are handcrafted to order around the diamond and setting you choose, with natural or lab-grown stones selected for their beauty. Find your ring below, or book a complimentary consultation.
Choosing an engagement ring is one of life's most meaningful decisions, whether you already know what you want or you're starting your search. Classic solitaires let a single diamond take centre stage, while trilogy rings set three stones to represent your past, present and future. Halo settings frame the centre stone with extra sparkle, and bezel settings wrap it in a sleek, protective edge. Diamond shapes run from the fire of a round brilliant to the elongated elegance of oval, pear and emerald cuts, the soft corners of a cushion cut and the brilliance of a radiant cut, with princess, marquise and Asscher cuts also available.
Our experienced team guides you through the 4Cs of diamonds: cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. Round brilliants carry an official cut grade, while fancy shapes such as ovals and pears are judged on their proportions and symmetry, so it pays to compare stones side by side. Natural and lab-grown diamonds share the same chemical and optical properties, and lab-grown stones can offer a larger carat weight for your budget. For something truly rare, Argyle pink diamonds come from the now-closed Argyle mine in Western Australia. Every engagement ring is handcrafted in platinum or 9ct, 14ct or 18ct gold, in yellow, white or rose gold, and Leskes Jewellers prides itself on the quality and weight of its gold alloys.
If you're dreaming of something completely unique, our bespoke design service takes you from first sketches through CAD drawings and wax models to a one-of-a-kind ring, and our guide to custom-designed engagement rings explains each step. We can also incorporate heirloom diamonds or meaningful gemstones, or remodel your old gold into a new design that preserves the memories that matter. Your journey doesn't end with the proposal. We can help you find a wedding ring to sit beside your engagement ring or celebrate a future milestone with an eternity ring, while our jewellery repairs team handles professional cleaning, servicing and resizing. Every ring we make is backed by a lifetime warranty on the make, so visit our Peregian Beach boutique or book a complimentary consultation to begin.
The setting holds the diamond or gemstone securely and plays a major role in the overall look of an engagement ring. Popular settings include claw or prong settings, which allow plenty of light into the stone; halo settings, where smaller diamonds surround the centre stone; bezel settings, which surround the stone with metal for a sleek, contemporary look; and tension or rub-over settings for a more modern design. There are also trilogy, cluster and shoulder-set designs. The right setting depends on the gemstone, lifestyle, desired style and level of protection.
In Australia, engagement rings are traditionally worn on the ring finger of the left hand. This tradition is shared in many Western countries, although customs vary around the world and some cultures traditionally wear engagement or wedding rings on the right hand. Ultimately, there is no universal rule—you can wear your engagement ring on whichever finger feels right and comfortable for you.
There is no single best diamond cut for an engagement ring—the right choice comes down to personal style, finger shape, setting and the type of sparkle you love. Round brilliant diamonds are renowned for their exceptional brilliance, while oval, pear, marquise and emerald cuts offer distinctive looks. Cushion, radiant and princess cuts provide their own combination of shape and sparkle. Consider how the diamond looks from every angle and how it works with the overall ring design.
Popular engagement ring styles include solitaire, trilogy, halo, bezel-set and diamond shoulder-set designs. Classic round brilliant, oval and emerald-cut diamonds remain enduring choices, while elongated shapes such as oval, pear and marquise can create an elegant look across the finger. Coloured gemstones, yellow gold settings, east-to-west designs and lab-grown diamonds are also popular options for couples looking for something more individual. The most important consideration is choosing a style that reflects the wearer’s personality and lifestyle.
The most accurate way to determine engagement ring size is to have the finger professionally measured by a jeweller. Finger size can change with temperature, time of day and other factors, so it is best to measure when your hands are at a comfortable temperature. If the proposal is a surprise, an existing ring worn on the correct finger can provide a useful starting point. At Leskes, we can help with sizing and discuss options if the exact size isn't known at the time of purchase.
There is no universal amount you should spend on an engagement ring. The right budget depends on your financial circumstances, priorities and the style of ring you want to create. Rather than following a fixed spending rule, consider the diamond or gemstone, metal, design and craftsmanship that are important to you. At Leskes, we work within your budget and can explore different combinations of natural or lab-grown diamonds, gemstones and metals to create a ring that feels right for you.
It is worth considering insurance for an engagement ring, particularly when it has significant financial or sentimental value. Jewellery insurance may provide cover for risks such as loss, theft or accidental damage, depending on the policy. Keep your valuation and purchase documentation, and check that your policy accurately reflects the ring's current value and any specific conditions for cover. A professional valuation can be useful when arranging or updating insurance.
