Discover the DG & Co. Difference in Stonnington
Many Stonnington residents already have a trusted jeweller for gifts and watches, yet look to a specialist when the purchase is an engagement ring. That is where DG and Co. fits. Our workshop produces a limited number of rings at a time, each shaped by one team that handles the diamond, the metal and the finishing from the first sketch to the final polish.
Prahran, South Yarra, Toorak, Armadale, Malvern and Windsor all sit within easy reach of our Collins Street studio, so a private appointment is simple to arrange. Prefer to stay at home? A video consultation covers the same ground, with each stone shown on camera and described in detail by the person who handled it.
From a considered cheap engagement rings melbourne starting point to a grand centrepiece commission, every ring is made with certified stones, honest guidance and a guarantee that lasts as long as the ring does.
Certified
A grading report from IGI or GIA accompanies every centre stone, matched to a laser inscription on its girdle.
In-House Craft
Our own bench jewellers cast, set and polish every ring in Melbourne, with no work sent offshore.
Ethical
Natural stones are conflict free and traceable. Lab-grown stones are fully disclosed. You always know what you are buying.
Lifetime Care
Inspections, replating and resizing remain available for the life of the ring.
Explore Engagement Rings by Style
Every setting here is a starting point rather than a finished product. Stonnington clients refine the stone, proportions, metal and details with our designers, then review 3D renders and give written approval before production begins.
Solitaire
The purest form of an engagement ring. A single diamond is held by claws and a gallery measured to that stone alone, so every line of the ring serves it. Nothing is added for decoration and nothing is missing.
Side Stones
Accent diamonds either side of the centre stone broaden the ring and add sparkle at the shoulders. Round, baguette, pear and marquise each create a different mood, and we choose the cut that flatters your stone best.
Halo
A ring of tiny diamonds around the centre stone makes it appear larger and frames it in light. The hidden halo version sits below the stone instead, a discreet surprise visible only in profile.
Three Stone
Three diamonds in a row, often read as the story of a couple's past, present and future. We balance the proportions so the centre stone leads and its companions support, whatever shapes you choose.
Pavé and Engraved
Fine diamonds are bead set along the band in an unbroken line, while hand engraving adds pattern and a personal signature. Together they give the shank as much character as the stone it carries.
Vintage
Inspired by Edwardian lace work, Art Deco angles and beaded milgrain, these rings are newly made by hand in our Melbourne workshop. They carry the romance of an heirloom with the structure and certification of today.
Natural & Lab-Grown Diamonds in Stonnington
Stonnington clients tend to arrive well researched, and we welcome it. Our task is to give you accurate information about natural and lab-grown diamonds and then help you decide which suits your priorities. We hold no preference and feel no pressure to favour either.
Natural stones are the product of deep geological time and keep the strongest secondary market. Lab-grown stones are identical in composition and appearance, graded by the same laboratories, and tend to offer more size or clarity for the money. Both kinds are examined by our team in Melbourne before they are offered to you.
Both Options. Fully Certified.
- Natural diamond: a gift of geology, prized for scarcity and resale strength
- Lab-grown diamond: the same crystal made in a laboratory, with more size and clarity per dollar
- Either choice: independently graded and personally inspected in Melbourne
- Our role: balanced guidance, led entirely by what matters to you
Your ring is insured for its full replacement value while it travels to you. Please give us a street address where someone can sign for it, as PO boxes cannot be used.
Design Your Own Engagement Ring in Stonnington
A truly personal ring begins by listening. We ask about the wearer's taste, daily routine and existing jewellery, and about the story you hope the ring will tell. That conversation gives our designers a clear target long before any stone is chosen.
Stone options follow, presented on 360 degree video with our hands-on notes. Renders come next and are refined until they look right to you. Every change is confirmed in writing, and production begins only after your final approval.

Begin Your Commission
Five Stages to Your Finished Ring
- Consultation: A private appointment on Collins Street, or a video call from home. We hear the whole brief first.
- Stone Selection: We shortlist certified stones, inspect them by hand and present them with video and written notes.
- 3D Renders: Lifelike previews are refined with you and approved in writing before work begins.
- Melbourne Production: Our bench jewellers make the ring exactly to the design you signed off.
- Stonnington Delivery: The ring arrives insured, with its grading report, valuation and lifetime guarantee.
Do Stonnington clients usually visit the studio, or do they commission remotely?
We see a healthy mix. Because Prahran, South Yarra and Toorak are so close to the city, many couples enjoy an appointment on Collins Street, where they can compare loose diamonds under studio light and try settings on the hand. Others are busy, travelling or simply prefer to decide in their own home, and a video consultation serves them equally well. The stones, drawings, craftsmanship and paperwork are the same on either path, so choose whichever suits your diary. You can also begin online and book a studio visit later if you wish to see your shortlist in person.
Consult with an Engagement Ring Specialist
Our consultants combine gemmology with practical experience at the bench. They can explain why one claw shape suits a particular stone, how white gold and platinum differ over twenty years, and what a certificate does and does not reveal. Advice is given plainly and never to hurry you.
One specialist is assigned to you from the first call and remains your contact for design, production, delivery and every later service. That continuity is deliberate. It spares you from repeating yourself and means the person advising you already knows your ring.
If a solitaire engagement rings design is your instinct, we will show you how to pair it with a platinum band wedding ring and later eternity band settings, so every piece belongs together. Many clients also ask about diamond bracelets melbourne as a future gift, and the same team can guide that choice.

What Our Customers Say
Five star reviews from clients across Australia, including couples from Melbourne's inner south east.
★★★★★
I had already visited several jewellers along Chapel Street and High Street, and none offered what I found here: a quiet room, an expert who simply answered every question, and no sales pitch. The ring we chose is superb.
★★★★★
My partner has particular taste, so I wanted a team that could carry out a detailed brief. The renders were so accurate that the finished ring felt familiar the moment I opened the box. The valuation figure was a pleasant surprise as well.
★★★★★
We chose a lab-grown stone after a very balanced discussion, with no attempt to talk us out of it. The extra carat weight made all the difference, and the documentation was immaculate.

Frequently Asked by Stonnington Clients
How is my ring looked after in the years following delivery?
Your lifetime guarantee is a standing promise. Bring the ring to Collins Street, or post it to us, whenever you would like the claws inspected, the surface refreshed or the size altered, and the craftsmen who built it will do the work. If something more serious happens, our jewellery repair team can restore it, and our jewellery remodel service can give an inherited piece a new life. Clients often come back for other milestones too, perhaps a platinum diamond bracelets design to mark an anniversary, and we are delighted to help with those.
When should I start if I am planning a proposal for a specific date?
As early as you comfortably can. Most commissions take two to five weeks once the design is approved, and ornate or coloured stone pieces can take four to eight. Mention your date at the first consultation and we will work backwards from it, telling you frankly whether it is achievable. Where time is tight, priority production is sometimes possible for a modest fee. Starting with a buffer of several weeks gives you room to make choices without rushing.
