Best Places to Buy Engagement Rings in Singapore

Private Jewellers:

1. August Bespoke Jewelry

One-of-a-kind modern heirlooms to cherish for life

Placing clients as their number one priority, August Bespoke Jewelry specialises in helping everyone get the engagement ring of their dreams at the best value possible. What we find fascinating about their business is that all of their jewellery pieces are 100% custom-made. Also, August Bespoke does not have a physical store, so all of their investments go into the quality of the gems, diamonds, and jewellery, rather than into expensive rent. 

Amanda, the founder of August Bespoke and a GIA-certified gemstone expert, has a proprietary ‘Sherlock Holmes’ Discovery Process, where she analyses your style and lifestyle to create a ring design that is equal parts stunning and wearable. That said, it is best if you book an appointment to enjoy an exclusive jewellery shopping experience that is unlike any other. Just check out their Instagram and Google reviews to learn more about their impeccable service and pieces.

World-class fancy diamond cuts and coloured gemstones

While many prefer the ‘usual’ solitaire rings for wedding proposals, August Bespoke also offers rings with fancy cut diamonds (like Ovals, Emerald cuts etc) as well as beautiful coloured gemstones (think Sapphires, Morganites, and more) for a more unique look. They even have lab-grown diamonds in case you are looking for rings that will not cost you months of your salary! Whatever your heart desires, the team at August Bespoke can craft an engagement ring that is unique to your loved one. And once your partner says yes to your proposal, August Bespoke can also create wedding bands for clients as an all-in service.

In case you still want a round diamond engagement ring, August Bespoke specialises in creating a special twist in their designs to make your ring more distinctive. Simply look at this gorgeous Snowflake ring with beautiful vintage milgrain detailing and the stunning Destinée ring that is perfectly tapered to accentuate the size of the diamond. Of course, August Bespoke also offers other diamond cuts from the best diamond cutters in the world, ensuring that the quality of every piece of jewellery is world-class. 

Beginner-friendly

If you are just starting out in your search for the most perfect ring, book a slot to attend August Bespoke’s free masterclass that happens once a month. This is the perfect class for newbies as it teaches everything you need to know in finding the right ring for your loved one, from picking out the right gemstone shape to diamond pricing in detail. They even have a live Q&A session! To register, check out the Instagram link in their bio.

5. Carrie K.

Award-winning jewellery designer with innovative designs and quality craftsmanship

The journey of Carrie K. all started with a trip to Florence, Italy, where founder Carolyn found herself falling in love with silversmith works and jewellery designs after a month-long apprenticeship. Thereafter, Carrie K. was officially established in 2009. Since then, Carrie K has won the ELLE Awards Jewellery Designer of the Year in 2010, Singapore Fashion Awards Designer of the Year in 2016, and bagged three awards at the Singapore Fashion Awards in 2017.

What we like about Carrie K. is that they constantly innovate and reinvent jewellery designs for the modern couple, setting trends instead of simply following trends. We especially love the story-telling element of their ring designs, as seen in their latest Code collection, which immortalises the couple’s initials in precious morse code diamond dots and dashes. Truly, these morse code-inspired jewellery pieces are the best way to declare your love. 

Moreover, Carrie K. marries quality craftsmanship with exquisite, innovative designs. as they offer an extensive collection of engagement rings, wedding rings, and modern Si Dian Jin (四点金). On top of that, Carrie K also has access to the widest range of cultured diamonds in Singapore, so you may also purchase a diamond ring that is environmentally conscious and comparatively more affordable.

A renowned bridal ring brand from Tokyo, I-PRIMO is known for providing quality diamonds of excellent brilliance (Triple Excellent – the highest cut standard!), sophisticated craftsmanship, and unparalleled customer service. In fact, I-PRIMO has over 127 stores in East Asia, with its flagship store soon to launch in Singapore this mid-November. Naturally, we had to check them out for ourselves; feel free to read our full review here.

Unique and elegant collections inspired by the stars

Having been to their pop-up store at B1 of ION Orchard, what we truly appreciated about I-PRIMO is how they have an extensive range of wedding and engagement rings styles available. Every ring has its own story, with most of them named after stars, constellations, and Greek legends. With more than 200 choices, you will surely find your dream ring with them! Though, if you don’t want something just off the shelf, you can modify their ring designs and incorporate your suggestions for a bespoke ring that truly encapsulates your love story.

Customers can also enjoy a free engraving service on the inner part of the rings. And if you want to be really extra, you can mount a Promise Diamond (a small coloured diamond with a distinct meaning) on the inner side of the ring. This unique service from I-PRIMO allows couples to profess their love more romantically, as well as send secret messages to each other. 

Feel free to book an appointment to visit their flagship store for you to see their rings in closer detail. If you need help in choosing, you will be pleased to know that I-PRIMO’s consultants are happy to listen to your love story and recommend a ring that would truly seal your love.
