Custom Engagement Rings
Alexandre Hekkers creates custom engagement rings, designed with you and handcrafted in our European ateliers. Each ring is made to order in gold or silver, set with carefully selected precious or semi-precious stones — from diamonds to coloured gemstones — and shaped around your story, your budget and the moment you are preparing.
A bespoke engagement ring is not a catalogue choice: it is designed once, for one person. From the first consultation to sketches, a 3D design and the final handcrafted ring, you are involved at every step — in full confidentiality.
A ring designed around your story
Every custom engagement ring starts with a conversation: the person it is for, the style they love, the stone you imagine, and the budget you want to work within. We then design the ring with you — not for you — refining sketches and a 3D design until it is exactly right, before a single gram of gold is worked.
Because the ring is made to order, nothing is imposed: the metal, the stone, the setting and the proportions are all decided together.
How your engagement ring is made
The same five steps as every Alexandre Hekkers custom jewel — most rings are completed within several weeks to a few months, so start early if you have a proposal date in mind.
Consultation
We discuss the person, the occasion, your budget and any stones or ideas you bring.
Sketches & 3D design
Your ring takes shape in sketches and a 3D design, refined together before production.
Materials
You choose the metal and we select the stone — precious or semi-precious — for your design.
Final design
We validate the final design with you before crafting begins.
Handcrafting & delivery
Your ring is handcrafted in our European ateliers and delivered to you — we ship worldwide.
Stones, metals & budget
We work with gold and silver, and with carefully selected precious and semi-precious stones. The stone is chosen for your design and your budget — not the other way around.
