engagement ring

The world of engagement rings can seem very linear, with expensive price tags on 'aspirational' designs, and diamonds in every single part of the ring. So it's not surprising that if you don't have thousands to spend on a ring, that the High street seems to be the best place to try and meet in the middle, pretty designs, with a low price tag, because anywhere else will be too expensive, but we are here to tell you that it ain't so!

At Aurus London, we create bespoke engagement rings, to fit you, and whilst the word 'Bespoke' eludes to super high end out of budget jewellery, with us this is not true.

We design around budget, design preferences and personal tastes, whilst never compromising

How much are you supposed to spend on an engagement ring?

This is probably one of the most common first questions you will research and ask friends, when you decide to embark on finding an engagement ring to ask the big question with. So here at Aurus London we have put together some key points to consider when budgeting for your engagement ring. Once you have a decided budget, it will become less daunting when it comes to designing, as at Aurus London we will always design around your budget and create the perfect ring to suit you.

Question number 1: Are you

Having been in the wedding ring industry through many peak engagement ring periods we know that after Christmas is one of the busiest times for the 'big ring shopping trip'.

We know that it is a daunting one after seeing your friends and loved ones getting engaged over the festive period, and subtle comments about liking, or not liking the rings that are popping up on your social media feed can leave you feeling a bit swamped. So at Aurus London we ensure that we take you back to square one, and talk about what you personally like, and what your partner loves, currently wears, and maybe has pinned

Whether you want to go for a traditional proposal or something more unusual, as we always say at Aurus London: there are no rules.
