Engagement Rings Perth
An engagement ring is usually the biggest piece of jewellery you will ever buy, and for most of the couples we see, it is also the first one they have thought seriously about and our team understands that.
Helping people find the right ring, or build one from scratch, is what we have been doing every day since Stelios Palioudakis started the studio in 2007. Every piece on our showroom floor was designed, cut, set and polished by hand in Mt Hawthorn by a team that has spent, between them, more than 200 years at the tools.
Whether you have a clear picture of what you want, or only a rough budget and a deadline, we can help you put the ring together.
Some couples come in with a single reference image. Others arrive knowing only that their partner wears a size 5.
Both are good starting points.
If you would rather have an idea before talking to us, our Online Custom Ring Builder is a good place to look at what’s possible.
Real Proposals, Real Diamonds
Three couples on the engagement rings we made for them.
“When Marco first suggested we go and see Stelios to look at rings I was beyond excited! I knew whatever Stelios designed would be beautiful, so when Marco proposed on the back porch of our new home after a casual Friday night dinner with the most perfect solitaire it was everything I imagined. When it came to our wedding we always knew a big wedding wasn’t us. Stelios was amazing and quickly helped us design our wedding bands, and 3 months later at our engagement party surrounded by vineyards and fairy lights we surprised 25 of our nearest and dearest and got married.”
Marco & Amy
“Words can’t describe the overwhelming sense of joy, relief and satisfaction (among other feelings) when my future wife first declared her Stelios ring was everything she ever dreamed of (and more). Thanks to the Stelios team and Stelios himself – the knowledge, experience and most importantly the honesty – for leading us through a process where our every need was taken [care] of and for producing a ring that we will look at for the rest of our lives and think is perfect. Stelios and his team are the kind of professionals you just keep wanting to come back to. Bravo!”

“I had organised a trip to the Maldives for Quintin as a surprise for his 40th birthday – on the first night we got there he proposed! The ring was everything I had dreamed of… I had been to Stelios previously to help my brother in law design my sister’s engagement ring. I can’t wait to go back in to design my wedding band!”
Jaz & Quintin
Questions Were Asked Most
There’s no rule. The old “three months’ wages” line is a rule of thumb, not a requirement. Set a budget you’re comfortable with, and we’ll show you diamonds side by side at that price and explain where the money makes the most difference.
Cut, because it decides how much a diamond sparkles. After that it comes down to your eye and your budget: neighbouring colour grades are hard to tell apart, and a diamond only needs to look clean to the naked eye.
Yes. Every centre diamond comes with a GIA report, whether it’s natural or lab grown. Small accent diamonds aren’t individually certified anywhere in the industry, so we match them by eye for colour and quality. We also provide insurance valuations.
No. Sapphires, rubies and emeralds all make beautiful engagement rings. Diamond is the hardest gemstone, though, which is why it’s the most common choice for a ring worn every day.
Yes, we often design around family stones. Diamonds bought elsewhere need independent certification first, which we can arrange.
Almost always. Tell us the number early and we will design to it rather than presenting you with something beautiful and unaffordable. Adjusting carat weight, clarity grade or setting complexity moves the price considerably without changing the look you are after.
Most rings take six to ten weeks from design approval. If you have a proposal date, tell us early and we’ll work to it.
Borrow a ring they already wear on their ring finger and bring it in, or measure it with our ring size guide. If the size isn’t quite right, your first resize within 12 months is complimentary.
In Australia, it’s worn on the ring finger of the left hand, next to the little finger. Traditionally the wedding band sits below it, closest to the hand.
Match the metal so the two rings wear evenly. If the diamond sits low or has a halo, a straight band can leave a gap, so we shape fitted bands to sit flush against the engagement ring.
Soak it for 15 to 20 minutes in warm water with a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid, then brush gently behind the diamond with a soft toothbrush, where grime collects. Rinse it in a bowl rather than over the sink, and dry it with a lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean and a check of the claws, bring it in: that’s complimentary, any time.
