Collection: Unique Engagement Rings

Wondering how your engagement ring should fit? At Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, we believe it should feel just right – snug enough so it doesn't slide off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle with a little effort.

A well-fitting ring should sit comfortably on your finger without pinching or digging in. It should be easy enough to put on in the morning but slightly challenging to take off at night (when your fingers are typically a bit larger).

Remember, everyone's fingers can change size slightly due to weather, time of day, or other factors. If you're unsure about the fit, speak to use for some help. As specialists in bespoke, UK-made engagement rings, we're here to ensure your ring is as perfect in fit as it is in design.

In the UK, tradition goes like this: Your wedding band sits on your left ring finger, closest to your heart. Then comes the engagement ring, followed by the eternity ring on top. So, it's wedding ring first, engagement ring next, and eternity ring last.

But remember, it's all about what feels right for you. At Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, we love seeing how our customers wear their unique, ethical, and UK-made engagement rings rings in their own style. If you're looking for rings that truly reflect your personal story, we're here to help craft that perfect piece!

Wondering how much to spend on an engagement ring in the UK? There's an outdated traditional guideline suggesting two to three months' salary, but at Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, we believe it's really up to you.

Every couple is unique, and so is their budget. It's more important to find a ring that resonates with your personal style and love story, rather than sticking to a set rule.

Remember, it's not about the price tag; it's about the meaning behind the ring. We're here to help you find or create a ring that captures your love, without stretching your finances.

In the UK, the traditional finger for wearing an engagement ring is the fourth finger of your left hand. This custom stems from the romantic belief that a vein in this finger, known as the 'Vena Amoris', or 'vein of love', is directly connected to the heart.

But at Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, while we adore traditions, we also celebrate personal style and choice. If you prefer to wear your unique, UK-made engagement ring on a different finger or hand that feels more comfortable or meaningful to you, we say go for it!

Remember, your engagement ring is a symbol of your love and commitment, so wear it in the way that best represents your personal love story.

Unlike mass-produced rings, each piece in this collection is one of a kind. I hand-select unusual diamonds and gemstones, from natural fancy coloured diamonds to parti sapphires, and design settings that highlight their individuality. Every ring is handmade in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, ensuring exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
You will also benefit from lower overheads with an independent designer than a large high street chain which means higher quality with lower prices. What’s not to like?

Absolutely. If you love a design but would like to make changes, for example, a different metal, gemstone, or diamond shape I can adapt it for you.
Or we can use the design as inspiration for a completely new piece through my Bespoke Engagement Rings service.

Yes, all of my unique engagement ring designs can be resized. The first sizing is included free of charge, with any subsequent sizings incurring a small fee.

All Engagement Rings with diamonds over 0.30ct will come with a GIA certificate for your peace of mind.
