FAQs

1. How do I determine the right budget for an engagement ring?
At Micheli Jewellery, we believe the right budget is one that feels comfortable for you. Our Melbourne-based team will work closely with you to design a stunning custom engagement ring that suits both your vision and your financial expectations.

2. What are the "Four Cs" of diamonds?
The Four Cs—Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat weight—are key factors we discuss in detail during your consultation. Our in-house experts ensure you understand how each element contributes to the beauty and value of your diamond, guiding you to the perfect choice.

3. Should I consider a lab-grown diamond?
Absolutely! At Micheli Jewellery, we offer both natural and lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are virtually identical to natural ones in appearance and quality, offering a sustainable and often more affordable option without compromising brilliance.

4. How can I find out my partner's ring size discreetly?
To help you discreetly find your partner's ring size, we recommend borrowing a ring they currently wear and bringing it to one of our boutiques. Alternatively, trace its inner circumference on paper, and we can size it accurately. Resizing is available for most ring styles - just discuss with your consultant if you're unsure about size.

5. What metal options are available for engagement rings?
Micheli Jewellery offers a variety of premium metals, including white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum. Our jewellers in Melbourne can guide you through selecting the best metal based on style, durability, and personal preference.

6. How long does it take to create a custom engagement ring?
Our custom engagement rings typically take 4 to 6 weeks from consultation to completion. Crafted meticulously by our in-house jewellers in Melbourne, each piece is carefully designed and made to perfection.

7. Can I customise an existing ring design?
Absolutely! At Micheli Jewellery, our speciality is custom designs. You can modify existing designs or work with our designers to create a unique, one-of-a-kind ring that embodies your love story.

8. What should I know about engagement ring maintenance?
