Should an engagement ring sit high or low on the finger?

A higher setting can give the centre stone more presence and may leave room for a straight wedding band to sit beside it.

A lower setting can feel more practical and less likely to catch - but it may require a shaped wedding band later.

Neither option is automatically better. It comes down to how you want the ring to look, feel and work with your lifestyle.

What are the most common mistakes people make when designing an engagement ring?

Most of them have nothing to do with choosing the “wrong” style.

They happen when appearance is considered without thinking about strength, comfort, maintenance or how the ring will be worn every day.

Here are five details worth discussing before the final design is decided.

A little movement is normal, especially as your fingers change throughout the day. But if your ring regularly spins, sli...

A little movement is normal, especially as your fingers change throughout the day. But if your ring regularly spins, slips over your knuckle too easily or feels at risk of coming off, it may need resizing.

Before making any adjustments, Brendan will check the ring’s condition, setting and stones and advise on the best approach.

Sometimes, a minor alteration is all that’s needed to make the ring feel secure again.

Can inherited jewellery be redesigned without losing what made it special?

Absolutely.

The original stones may be able to remain at the centre of the new design, while the setting is updated to better suit your style.

In some cases, the piece can be carefully restored. In others, remaking it gives the stones and metal a completely new purpose.

The sentimental value stays exactly where it belongs. You simply have a piece you’ll enjoy wearing again.

Bring your jewellery into Kent Morgan and talk with Brendan about what could be possible.

It’s not only choosing the stone and the metal.

It’s the proportions of the setting.
The shape of the claws.
How high the stone sits.
How the ring looks from every angle.
And how all those details work together on the hand.

When a ring is designed specifically for you, even the smallest details are considered.

If you’re in the process of designing your dream ring, head into Kent Morgan and let’s discuss your options.

A ring should feel secure without feeling uncomfortable.

If it spins constantly, slips over the knuckle too easily or leaves a deep mark, the fit may need attention.

Resizing isn’t always about making a dramatic change. Sometimes a minor alteration is enough to improve the way the ring sits and feels.

Before recommending the best option, Brendan will also complete a maintenance check and consider the ring’s construction, setting and condition.

A better fit can make a much-loved ring easier to wear every day.

The gemstone may still be loved, even when the setting no longer feels like you.

Remodelling allows you to keep the meaningful parts of an existing piece while reconsidering its design.

A ring can become a pendant.

Several smaller stones can be brought together in one new piece.

An inherited design can be recreated in a way that better suits your style and how you live.

The original piece isn’t forgotten.

It becomes part of something you can enjoy wearing again.

You don’t need to arrive with a finished design.

A photo you saved, a gemstone you love, a detail from another piece or even a clear list of what you don’t want can all help begin the conversation.

From there, Brendan can guide you through the shape, setting, metal and smaller design decisions that will make the piece your own.

A custom piece doesn’t start with having every answer.

It starts with an idea.

Diamonds aren’t the only way to make a custom piece feel special.

Sapphires can bring rich blues, soft pinks and other distinctive shades.

Emeralds offer a colour that is immediately recognisable.

Rubies create warmth and contrast beautifully against both yellow and white metals.

The right gemstone depends on more than colour. Its durability, shape, setting and how often the piece will be worn should all be considered.

Start with the colour you love. Then design the piece around how you want to wear it.

A pendant is never designed in isolation.

The length of the chain affects where it sits.

The size determines whether it feels delicate or makes more of a statement.

The setting changes how the gemstone is framed.

Even the bail - the small detail connecting the pendant to the chain - forms part of the finished design.

A custom pendant should look considered from every angle, not simply beautiful from the front.

Would you choose something understated or a piece designed to be noticed?
