Bespoke Vs Signature Engagement Rings
At Xronos Fine Jewellery, there isn’t a single path to the perfect engagement ring - because no two stories are the same. We offer two distinct design services, each catered to suit different levels of creative involvement.
Whether you’re drawn to a Signature Setting from our core collection, or creating something entirely your own, this page will help you understand which approach feels right.
Option One
Signature Setting
Our core collection - designed to be loved as-is or personalised.
Our core Signature Settings range reflects our design language: sculptural gold, balanced proportions, and enduring aesthetics. They’re ideal if you’ve found a style you love and want to make it your own without starting from scratch. Our Signature Settings range is constantly evolving, with new designs added regularly.
Looking to purchase immediately? Explore our Ready-to-Wear curation of Signature Settings and one-off pieces.
Signature Setting
What to Expect
- Explore and choose from our curated collection of Signature Settings.
- Be guided through the process by our team in an obligation-free, relaxed setting.
- Select your centre stone from our selection tailored to your preferences, budget and design.
- Personalise elements such as metal, proportions, claws, band details or subtle design refinements.
- If in-depth customisations are made, a CAD design will be provided for approval. If no customisations are made, design renders are not provided for approval.
- Crafted for you in 6-8 weeks.
Best suited for you if:
- You connect with our existing designs
- You value a refined, streamlined process
- You’d like room for personalisation, not full bespoke.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's really common to not know where to start, or for your ideas to evolve and change as you understand what you love (and don't love). If this is the starting point in your engagement ring journey, we recommend booking a Signature Design Appointment. You can try-on a broad range of styles, view loose stones, ask questions, and discover what design speaks to you. If a Signature piece evolves into something more bespoke, that is totally fine and we are here to guide you through the journey!
Our design appointments are complimentary and obligation-free.
Our dedicated design nook can host up to 3 patrons (including yourself) during a design meeting.
We only host one appointment at a time. Our design nook is dedicated to you and your guest/s and our pieces are reserved for you to view. While we welcome walk-ins to browse our studio during opening hours, our pieces are dedicated to your appointment during your allocated time.
Bespoke generally starts at around $3,000 for the mount. We craft with higher minimum standards across all of our pieces, meaning there is more gold in your ring and a more durable design compared to a chain jeweller's work.
Yes - simply book a Virtual Design Appointment to begin your journey.
We offer Bespoke clients the option of a 3D Mock-Up of their design concept to view and try-on before approving the design for crafting.
This service is $150. For more information, visit our 3D Mock-Up webpage here.
