Bespoke Engagement Rings Manchester
À Vie Diamonds designs bespoke engagement rings for couples in Manchester and beyond. Pieces start from £600. We are a Manchester-based studio with no showroom: we work with you by video call, phone or email, source a GIA or IGI certified diamond to your brief, and nothing is made until you approve the design in writing.
How a bespoke engagement ring works with À Vie
- Free consultation. Your first consultation is free and there is no obligation. We talk through style, budget, metal and the stone.
- Stone shortlist. We source certified natural or lab-grown diamonds and coloured gemstones to your brief, and explain the trade-offs honestly.
- CAD design. You see your ring as a detailed CAD render. There is no fixed limit on revisions.
- Written approval. Nothing is made until you approve the design in writing. A 70% deposit is due after you approve the design in writing.
- Crafting and hallmarking. Your ring is crafted by specialist goldsmiths and hallmarked at a UK Assay Office. Making takes 5 to 6 weeks, which can vary with location and how busy we are.
- Delivery. Insured, tracked FedEx. Import duty and tax, where they apply, are paid by the customer.
Why couples in Manchester choose bespoke
- Designed around you. Every ring is made to your brief, not chosen from a tray.
- Certified stones. Diamonds come with a GIA or IGI grading report.
- Natural or lab-grown, explained honestly. We help you compare both on looks, price and what matters to you.
- No showroom overheads. Working remotely keeps the focus, and the budget, on your ring.
