#1 - One of a Kind

Why settle for off the shelf when you can add personalised details and features that truly reflect your unique story and style.
It’s a common misconception that custom designed rings are more expensive. At Sense & Wonder we can cater to most budgets starting from $1500 for a gold and stone set ring. Book in to meet with one of our designs for a no-obligation custom design consultation. We look forward to working with you to bring your ideas to life.

Love the idea of custom, but unsure what your partner may like?
Opt for one of our $99 Promise Rings to pop the question and then choose or design the ring together ensuring the ring is simply the perfect one for both of you.

#2 - Yellow Gold Bands

Back in hot demand. Styles may change, but yellow gold will be the front and centre for the foreseeable future. The combination of yellow gold and diamonds gives a luxe look with the option of a white gold setting to add a beautiful backdrop to really make those diamonds pop, or keep a yellow gold setting for a softer, buttery look.

#3 - Lab Created Diamonds

Have your cake and eat it too. With prices significantly cheaper than the equivalent natural mined you can choose to have a higher grade diamond, a larger stone or save your hard earned pennies by opting for lab created diamonds. Lab created diamonds have the same physical, chemical and optical characteristics as a natural diamond and it's impossible to tell the difference by simply looking at them. Being more sustainable and eco-conscious, this may be the option for you.

#4 - Toi et Moi

Toi et Moi rings are a mix of two stones, usually one larger than the other, or two different shapes. ‘Toi et Moi’ translates to 'You and Me' in French, which makes for a meaningful ring choice to celebrate you and your partner coming together. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Ariana Grande have both created bold, asymmetric looks that are here and now, but will also stand the test of time.

#5 - East-West Settings

A subtle twist on a classic style by simply rotating your stone 90 degrees can completely reinvigorate a simple solitaire giving it a modern look . Stone shapes we expect to be popular in this style are emerald cuts, ovals, marquise and pears.

#6 - Trilogy Rings

Another classic trend making a comeback this year is the trilogy ring. Featuring three stones, these can symbolise ‘past, present and future’ or ‘to love, honour and cherish’. Whatever meaning you give, trilogy rings are sure to win over your partner's heart. Traditionally, these showcase three stones of the same size, however choosing different combinations of shapes and sizes will make it uniquely yours.

#7 - Coloured Gemstones

It’s no doubt that diamonds have been a fan favourite over the years due to their beauty and strength for everyday wear. Recently coloured gemstones have increased in popularity and with their stunning array of colours we don’t expect this year to be any different. Either as centre or accents stones the addition of coloured stones showcases your personality with a bolder unique look.
