Let us create a unique and original engagement ring that is both individual and timeless, for an everlasting family heirloom. Each of our conflict-free sourced diamonds are handpicked, and we recommend you choose the diamonds for your engagement ring in our store to fully appreciate the quality and exquisite beauty of each individual diamond. You’ll also get expert advice on the perfect GIA certified diamond of your design.
Our bespoke service ensures your engagement ring can be designed based on the style you love or inspirational pictures you share with us, and crafted so you get the cut, clarity and scintillation of the diamond you choose.
We also have an extensive choice of beautiful premade Christopher Wharton engagement rings available in store.
You’ll never be disappointed with your experience at Wharton Goldsmith.
How it works...
Following an initial Bespoke Jewellery Design consultation, Chris or Sam will pull together a series of rough sketches to provide information for the next steps in the design process.
The sketches are then refined into far more detailed, accurate drawings giving consideration to different aspects of the design like dimensions, stone shape and size,and the type of setting.
Whilst we favour traditional technique, we also utilise the latest in modern technology. To make designs come to life as perfectly as possible we use Computer Aided Design.
When details are finalised a wax prototype is created. This allows you to get a proper feel for the piece and allows us to further adjust and modify the look in three dimensional form.
Once the prototype has passed our strict quality guidelines, the design is brought to life in your chosen material. The stones are set and the piece is polished.
The L’Amour Crisscut® Oval is designed to be up to 35% larger than a generic oval of the same size. This patented, expertly designed, cut provides a brighter, whiter appearance with no pesky bowtie that is commonly found in generic oval diamonds.
