Custom Rings & Jewellery Singapore

Yes! We can customise your wedding band to match your engagement ring based on your preferred metal, width, finish, engraving, gemstones, and overall design.

Customisation options such as metal, ring width, texture, finishing, engraving, gemstone accents, and the overall shape of the wedding band are available at our custom jewellery shop.

Choosing matching wedding bands is a popular trend, but it is not necessary. Some couples prefer similar designs, while others choose different styles that best reflect their individual personalities. Ultimately, it depends on your preference. We can design a pair of wedding bands with similarities while still reflecting each person’s style.

Engraving is available at our bespoke rings shop to personalise your wedding rings. However, our jeweller will advise what is best suited based on the ring design and available space.

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds—the only factor differentiating them from mined diamonds is that they are created in a lab. Lab-grown diamonds are made by mimicking the same natural process that creates the gemstone under the Earth’s surface.

Certainly! Lab-grown diamonds have grown in popularity as the choice for engagement rings as their quality is identical to that of their natural counterparts and is a great affordable alternative. Here at Ling Jewellery, we have a beautiful selection of diamonds to cater to your preferences and craft them into bespoke jewellery pieces. Our top-notch experts can help you find the diamond ring that best suits you.

Both natural and lab-grown diamonds are worthwhile investments with similar qualities that make them so sought after. Your choice will depend on various factors that you and/or your partner deem vital to you: some couples prefer natural diamonds for their rarity, timeless value, and all-natural formation, while others may choose lab-grown diamonds for their near-flawless beauty.

A 1-carat diamond is a popular choice for a proposal ring, as it offers versatility for different ring designs and noticeable size while being an affordable option. However, the ideal carat size varies depending on your finger size, budget, and personal preferences.

Yes. In fact, coloured gemstones are an increasingly popular alternative to traditional diamond proposal rings due to their unique appearance. Before you choose a coloured gemstone, remember that a proposal ring will be used daily, so choose gemstones that are hard and durable to endure everyday wear. Sapphire, ruby, and spinel are ideal choices for long-term durability. Aquamarine requires slightly more gentle care to prevent scratching, while emeralds, morganite, and pearls are considered too soft for daily wear.

The classic and most popular diamond shape is the round brilliant, known for its simplicity and symbolism of everlasting love and commitment. Other popular options include emerald, princess, pear, heart and oval with each shape carrying its own unique meaning in ring design.

Choosing between a diamond and a coloured gemstone depends on the factors that you prioritise in your jewellery:
Durability: If you are looking for a more durable jewellery with a very long lifespan, diamond is preferable as it is almost completely scratch-proof and can hold up to decades of daily wear. Coloured gemstones other than sapphire and ruby may need protective settings.
Visual style: If you want a bold, non-traditional look in your jewellery, coloured gemstone may be more ideal. Meanwhile, diamonds are more suitable for those who want timeless jewellery that can easily match with any outfit.
Cost: With the same cost, you can get a coloured gemstone with a bigger size or carat weight than a diamond.

For everyday wear, choose a low profile ring setting to protect the stone from snags or chipping. The bezel ring setting is highly recommended because the stones are completely protected by a solid metal rim. The channel setting is also another ideal choice as the stones are set within two walls of metal inside the band, holding them securely.

In a solitaire engagement ring setting, the diamond or gemstone is placed in the centre without any other stones, focusing attention to the stone’s brilliance and fire. Meanwhile, a halo engagement ring surrounds a central gemstone with a ring of smaller diamonds. This arrangement makes the central stone appear larger and more brilliant.

Yes, you can combine different ring styles into a single custom design. The key is to balance the ring’s aesthetics with structural integrity to ensure that it remains durable for daily wear.

Solitaire, pavé, and three-stone settings are considered timeless ring styles. The solitaire style has long been used in engagement rings, focusing attention on the single gemstone. The three-stone setting is a meaningful ring style which is often chosen to symbolise a couple's past, present, and future. Alternatively, the pavé configuration gives a timelessly elegant look which catches light from every angle.

Custom engagement rings start from approximately SGD5,000. The cost of a custom engagement ring in Singapore depends on various factors, such as the type of gemstone used, the stone’s cut and shape, along with the craftsmanship involved to create the design that you envision. Couples are highly recommended to get a personalised consultation with our jeweller to understand their design needs and get a more accurate price estimation.

The price of a custom ring is affected by the gemstone and metal used, preferred stone shape, design complexity, and ring setting among other factors.

Absolutely! Our experienced designers will try their best to meet your design preferences while staying within your budget. Make sure to discuss your budget with our consultants!

Ideally, you should start designing a custom engagement ring 2 to 3 months before proposing. This gives ample time for a consultation, drafting and finalising your design, and finding the suitable gemstone based on your design request. It is always advisable to set 1-2 weeks of extra time for final size adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.

Yes, a deposit is typically required before we can start working on your custom ring. The deposit amount may range from 50% to 70% of the final quoted price, depending on the complexity of the design and materials used.

If you plan on surprising your partner with a ring, you can try taking an overhead photo of your hand next to your partner’s ring finger. From there, we can help estimate your ring finger’s diameter. Alternatively, you can also use a ring that your partner already owns as a basis. If possible, a ring sizer or string can also be used to find out your partner’s ring size.

If you purchase a custom ring from us, we offer professional resizing services, but with some important limitations. For simple plain metal bands, we can usually resize them up or down by 1-2 sizes. For more delicate ring settings such as pavé or channel-set styles, our jewellers will assess more carefully to determine if resizing is possible without affecting the stone.

Caring for your engagement ring requires several steps. Take your ring off before activities in high humidity, such as working out or hiking. Avoid wearing it in swimming pools and beaches as well. Also, put your ring on after applying skincare products to prevent a film from forming over the stone. To keep your ring in good condition, soak it in warm water mixed with a few drops of mild dishwashing soap for 20 to 30 minutes. Use a new, soft toothbrush to gently clean under the stone to remove any dirt that collects.

Your ring can benefit from getting professional, regular care. You can bring your custom ring to us for a complementary inspection and cleaning every 6-12 months, ensuring that the prong is still secure. You can also get it annually checked for loose stones, worn prongs, bent bands, or thinning shanks.
