Discover the DG & Co. Difference in Leichhardt
The best engagement ring you can commission is not necessarily the one available closest to Leichhardt. It is the one produced by the studio that best understands craft, stone assessment and the specific conversation that transforms a brief into a ring that will be worn and treasured for a lifetime. That studio, for many Leichhardt couples, is DG and Co. in Melbourne.
We work with clients across Sydney, including Leichhardt, Annandale, Balmain, Rozelle, Glebe and the broader Inner West, through a remote consultation process that has been thoughtfully developed over more than two decades. Every stone is assessed in person at our Collins Street workshop before it is presented to a Leichhardt client. Every design is produced in-house by our own craftsmen. The accountability that comes from a single studio handling every stage of a commission is the standard we hold ourselves to without exception.
Our cheap engagement rings melbourne collection and our most significant bespoke commissions are equally available to Leichhardt clients, with complimentary insured delivery and our lifetime guarantee covering every ring we produce regardless of investment level.
Certified
IGI and GIA grading reports for every centre stone, with the certificate number laser-inscribed directly on the girdle for permanent verification.
In-House Craft
Every stage from design through production and finishing takes place in our Melbourne CBD workshop. No outsourcing. Single-studio accountability.
Ethical
Conflict-free natural diamonds from independently verified suppliers. Supply chain documentation available to every Leichhardt client on request.
Lifetime Care
Our lifetime guarantee travels with every ring we make. Leichhardt clients can access claw checks, replating and resizing for the full life of their commission.
Explore Engagement Rings by Style
Every setting in our collection is designed to be fully customised for the specific stone, wearer and brief. Leichhardt clients select shape, metal, stone and finishing detail. Our Melbourne craftsmen produce it with 3D render approvals at every stage before a single piece of metal is worked.
Solitaire
The form that reduces a ring to its single most important element. A certified diamond in a setting built around its exact dimensions, produced in Melbourne without reference to any production catalogue or standard mount. The purest expression of the commission process.
Side Stones
Diamonds placed to the left and right of the centre stone in profiles that complement rather than compete with it. Round, baguette, pear and marquise side stones each bring a different visual language to the composition and suit different centre stone shapes.
Halo
A ring of smaller diamonds encircling the centre stone, expanding its perceived footprint and producing a unified field of light around the primary stone. The hidden halo places this ring beneath the girdle, presenting a cleaner silhouette from above while preserving the effect in profile.
Three Stone
Three stones arranged in deliberate compositional relationship. The choice of matching or contrasting shapes, the relative proportions of centre and shoulder stones, and the metal treatment between them all contribute to a design as individual as the relationship it marks.
Pavé and Engraved
Accent diamonds set into the band surface produce continuous light along the shank. Hand-engraved decoration worked by our Melbourne craftsmen brings a personal signature to the band that distinguishes it from anything produced elsewhere.
Vintage
The design vocabulary of the great jewellery periods interpreted in a new commission produced in our Melbourne workshop. Milgrain borders hand-applied with a wheel, filigree galleries individually worked, geometric profiles drawn from Art Deco and Edwardian precedents.
Natural & Lab-Grown Diamonds in Leichhardt
The natural versus lab-grown decision is one that our Melbourne team has been discussing with clients for many years, and our approach has remained consistent throughout: we present both options with complete candour and allow the brief to determine the recommendation. No agenda. No margin preference. No steering toward the outcome that suits the studio rather than the client.
Natural diamonds carry geological formation history, scarcity-driven valuation and the strongest resale documentation available in the Australian market. Lab-grown diamonds are certified to the same standard by IGI and GIA, are physically indistinguishable from their natural counterparts, and allow Leichhardt clients to access a meaningfully larger or higher-quality stone within the same investment. Every stone in both categories is assessed in Melbourne under controlled studio lighting before it is presented as an option for any commission.
Both Options. Fully Certified.
- Natural diamond: geological rarity, scarcity-based valuation, strongest long-term documentation
- Lab-grown diamond: greater visual impact per investment dollar, identical physical properties, certified by IGI or GIA
- Both assessed: in person at our Melbourne studio before any recommendation to a Leichhardt client
- Our position: genuine impartiality throughout every stage of the conversation
Every commission is fully insured for its appraised replacement value in transit and delivered to your Leichhardt address. Residential and commercial deliveries accepted. Signature required on delivery. PO boxes are not accepted for commission deliveries.
Design Your Own Engagement Ring in Leichhardt
Leichhardt is a suburb with a strong sense of its own aesthetic character, and the couples who commission bespoke rings with DG and Co. tend to bring that same specificity to the brief. The bespoke process at our Melbourne studio is designed precisely for clients who know what they want and need a team with the expertise and craft capability to execute it exactly.
The process begins with a conversation that is detailed enough to establish the brief completely before any stone or setting option is introduced. Stone selections are presented with 360 degree video, complete grading documentation and our Melbourne team's specific assessment of each option's optical character under real light. Design renders are produced at each stage of the development process and approved in writing before any physical work begins. No aspect of the commission proceeds without explicit written confirmation from the client.
For Leichhardt clients who want to explore the full range of what a Melbourne bespoke commission can produce, our custom made engagement rings page sets out the process in detail. Our diamond ring creator tool offers a visual starting point for the shape and style conversation before the first consultation takes place.

How does the remote commission process work for Leichhardt clients who have never purchased fine jewellery this way before?
The remote commission process at DG and Co. is structured to remove every point of uncertainty that a first-time buyer might encounter. The first consultation, conducted by video or telephone, is long enough and detailed enough to establish a complete brief — covering the wearer's aesthetic preferences, lifestyle, the stone shape and type they are drawn to, the investment level, and any timeline requirements. From that brief, our Melbourne team prepares a curated selection of certified stone options, presented with 360 degree video and the specific notes our team's in-person assessment of each stone produces. These notes cover things the certificate does not: how the stone actually behaves under different lighting conditions, what its optical character is compared to the alternatives presented, and what we specifically recommend given the brief. Design renders follow the stone selection and are reviewed at each stage before any commitment to production is made. The completed ring ships from Melbourne fully insured and arrives in Leichhardt with the complete documentation package. For clients who find they would prefer to see loose diamonds in person before committing, our Collins Street studio is open by appointment and the journey from Leichhardt to Melbourne is a straightforward day trip that several of our Inner West clients have described as genuinely worthwhile.
Consult with an Engagement Ring Specialist
The DG and Co. consulting team brings a depth of practical expertise that extends well beyond the specifications on a grading certificate. Our consultants understand how different alloys behave under the conditions of daily wear in Sydney's climate, which setting geometries are structurally suited to different stone shapes, how optical performance actually presents in the conditions a ring will be worn in rather than under a laboratory lamp, and how to give Leichhardt clients a complete picture of the decisions they are making and the long-term implications of each one.
Consultations are conducted at a time that suits a Leichhardt schedule, by video or telephone, with no obligation at any stage of the conversation. The consultant who conducts your initial consultation remains your point of contact throughout the commission and can be reached by email or phone for the life of the piece. This continuity of relationship is a deliberate element of the DG and Co. service model, not an incidental benefit.
Whether the commission is a solitaire engagement rings design of complete restraint, a diamond engagement ring with side stones in a specific configuration, or a complementary set that includes gemstone wedding bands, eternity band settings and a platinum band wedding ring, the conversation draws on the same expertise regardless of scope.

What Our Customers Say
Five-star reviews from clients across Sydney and Australia, including Inner West couples who commissioned exceptional rings through our remote consultation process.
★★★★★
I had high standards and a detailed brief and was not sure that a Melbourne studio I had never visited could meet them. Within the first consultation I realised I had misjudged the situation entirely. The consultant understood the brief immediately, the stone options were exceptional, and the finished ring arrived looking exactly as the renders had promised. My partner was speechless.
★★★★★
We made the trip to Melbourne and spent a morning in the Collins Street studio. It was the right decision for us. Seeing diamonds under real light, handled by someone who clearly knows exactly what they are looking at, was a completely different experience from anything available to us in Sydney. The ring has been on my partner's hand for six months and still stops people in the street.
★★★★★
Everything about this experience was handled with care and professionalism. I knew what I wanted but not whether it was technically achievable within my budget. The consultant was honest with me at every stage and we arrived at something genuinely beautiful that I could afford. The documentation package that arrived with the ring was comprehensive and impressive. Strongly recommended.

Frequently Asked by Leichhardt Clients
What aftercare is available to Leichhardt clients after their ring is delivered?
The lifetime guarantee that accompanies every DG and Co. commission does not expire at delivery. It is a genuine ongoing commitment covering claw integrity checks, structural assessment, rhodium replating for white gold settings, and resizing within the structural limits of the specific ring design. For Leichhardt clients, aftercare is accessed by posting the ring to our Collins Street workshop, where it is assessed and serviced by the same Melbourne craftsmen who produced it. Return shipping to Leichhardt is covered under the service, and we provide a written service record for every piece of work performed. Our Melbourne jewellery repair team is also available for any additional work the ring may eventually require beyond the scope of the guarantee, including complex repairs and our full jewellery remodel service for clients who want to transform an existing piece rather than commission entirely from scratch.
How does DG and Co. handle production timelines for Leichhardt clients with a specific proposal date?
Production timelines for standard bespoke commissions typically run between two and five weeks from the date of written design approval. Complex pieces involving significant hand-finishing, unusual stone configurations or coloured stone sourcing may require four to eight weeks. For Leichhardt clients with a specific proposal date in mind, we strongly recommend disclosing it at the very beginning of the process. Our Melbourne workshop is experienced at managing deadline-sensitive commissions and will advise frankly on what is achievable within any given window. Where a proposal date creates production pressure, our team assesses whether the commission can be executed to the required standard within the timeline and advises honestly if it cannot. Expedited production for straightforward commissions is possible in some circumstances and may carry a priority fee. We are transparent about this from the outset so that no Leichhardt client is surprised by additional costs or timeline constraints later in the process.
