Shop our current range
We love creating one off pieces and our favourite styles are Art Deco and Edwardian, which reflect in many designs we have been creating. If you would like your very own Vintage style engagement ring, have a stone already or need us to source one, pop in or get in touch so we can help you get started.
Your own custom design
Do you want to take the adventurous approach and have us craft your unique ring for the love of your life in 15 working days or less? We can help you from the very beginning of the design, all the way to the finished beautiful ring in a gorgeous ring box, while working with your budget.
The design and stones
Bring your own ideas or let us help you design the perfect engagement ring. Sit down with our jewellers and discuss the design, stones and your budget over a nice cup of coffee.
We will source a selection of Diamonds or gemstones for you to choose from, and present you with a quote. You may already have a stone and we are more than happy to create your ring using it.
If you don’t have the exact finger size, don’t worry, once you propose we will resize the ring free of charge.
3D drawing
Once you are happy with the concept of your ring and selected the Diamond or gemstone you like, our drawer will draw your engagement ring in 3D, with the dimensions of all stones and Diamonds to scale. The 3D technology allows you to see all the details of your new design, in an over sized rendered image, before we commence making the ring. This is also a good time to talk about any small changes to the design.
Crafting your ring
Your engagement ring will pass through several hands of our drawers, jewellers and setter.
We can share the images of the process with you to make it more exciting, or you can pop in and see the ring while we are crafting it in different stages.
Our turnaround is within 15 working days, but we will work with you if you have a tight deadline.
Collection and aftercare
Your sparkly engagement ring will be ready for collection in a beautiful box, ready for the proposal.
Our service is free for life, so you can bring it back anytime (we recommend once per year) so we can check all settings, clean, polish and if necessary rhodium plate your ring.
We can organize insurance with Q Report before you leave, so your ring is insured straight away. If you have your own insurance organized, we will provide a valuation certificate.

What do our customers think?
Shane
Why did you go custom and was it scary?
It was exciting, not scary. Custom made has given the ring a more heartfelt personal touch.
What did you enjoy the most about the process?
I really enjoyed going through and working out the best design to suit Michelle.
Did you manage to stick to your budget?
David managed to keep me under budget and also kept me informed of any changes along the way.
Michelle
Were you surprised that the ring was custom made?
No, I knew that you could’t find anything like this ring in the standard jewellery store, because it was so unique.
Did it mean more to you knowing he designed it?
Yes, as this went beyond being just a ring. The ring became a symbol of how much he loves me by having it designed and custom made especially for me. Knowing that I will be the only one who has this ring makes it extra special.
Would you recommend it to other couples?
Definitely, as the ring becomes more than just a store bought ring, it is a symbol of love and commitment to another.
Alice
You already had your Diamond, why did you choose to have your ring made here at Bentley De Lisle?
We looked at a lot of jewellery designer’s websites and Bentley De Lisle had a beautiful range of the vintage style I was after. Their beautiful shop is in a great location in Paddington. They were also able to design and make the ring in a short time.
You got to design the engagement ring with Tyrell, what did you enjoy the most about the process?
David and Tereza were both so warm, welcoming and helpful. We didn’t quite know how to design all the elements we wanted, but David was fantastic at guiding us through the process. It was a fun and I ended up with a ring we both loved!
Would you recommend custom making to other couples?
100%! I couldn’t find a ring that I loved in store. This way we were able to get a beautiful and detailed ring, that was everything I wanted, and it was more affordable than we expected. If you do go custom,
I definitely recommend going to Bentley De Lisle.
Tyrell
Why did you go custom and was it scary?
Went custom to match the uniqueness of Alice. It wasn’t scary, very very easy pleasant experience.
What did you enjoy the most about the process?
David and Tereza are super friendly + helpful. Made the process easy and fun.
Did you manage to stick to your budget?
Under budget. Very affordable.

Got questions?
Are coloured stones harder to maintain?
Compared to well cut Diamonds, coloured gemstones will dull off once they get dirty. Regular cleaning (at home or in our jewellery shop) will keep your stones sparkling all the time. Over many years of wear (it will also depend how you treat your ring), all gemstones will scuff and will need re-polishing.
This is an easy process if your stone is claw set, we just simply remove the stone, re-polish and reset it. If your setting is bezel set, the setting will have to be cut to remove the stone without causing any damage. The stone will be re-polished and we will repair the setting and reset the stone.
Can I use my own Diamond or gemstone?
Yes, we have used our client’s stones in many designs. Some customers like to have their family hairloom included in the design for sentimental reasons, or they already have a stone which they want to use for their loved one.
Some native cut gemstones can be difficult to use in certain setting styles, but because we have a local gem cutter, we can have your special gem re-cut to perfection if necessary.
Do I need an insurance for my engagement ring?
Same as we insure our cars, your engagement ring should be insured. We recommend jewellery only insurance QReport, due to their amazing policy. To have piece of mind while you are traveling overseas, accidental damage or loss, they have you covered in every instance! Depending on your home and content policy and what you are covered for, comparing your policies is a must. We can organise your jewellery insurance (Q Report) before you collect your precious ring, so you will be leaving our store with confidence. We can also supply a valuation for your home and content policy.
Payment?
We require 20% deposit for all Australian customers and 50% for all overseas customers before commencing any custom made job. The balance of payment will be due on collection, or prior to shipping, but you are welcome to make any payments while your ring is being crafted. We accept paypal payments for overseas customers.
