A Bespoke Elongated Cut Cushion Diamond Engagement Ring

Our recent collaboration with Paul Hooper perfectly exemplifies how our hands-on, jeweller-led approach sets us apart from traditional retail experiences.

1. The Consultation Process

Paul initially contacted us by filling out an enquiry form on our website, expressing interest in a bespoke engagement ring. We promptly scheduled a video consultation with Adam Mahdy, co-founder and director of Essex Bespoke Jewellery Ltd. During our consultation, Paul didn’t mention that he had multiple video calls with other jewellers and sales consultants that day. However, when we began our conversation, it became clear that speaking directly to a jeweller, rather than a salesperson, was the defining factor in his decision-making process.

2. Real-Time Interactive Experience

Our video consultation lasted over an hour, during which we meticulously explored every possible option to bring Paul’s vision to life. Using our Engagement Ring Builder, we conducted a live, interactive design session during which Adam shared his screen and built the ring in real time. This immersive experience was something Paul had never encountered before, and he was immediately captivated by it.

Together, we explored:

  • Stone Selection: Choosing the perfect diamond for brilliance and beauty.
  • Engravings: Personalisation options for sentimental value.
  • Wedding Band Compatibility: Ensuring the engagement ring was wedding-fit, allowing a wedding band to sit perfectly flush against it.

3. Finalising the Design & The Build

After carefully selecting the specifications, we created a hand-drawn illustration of the ring and a 3d lifelike CAD render. This allowed Paul to visualise the final piece in exquisite detail before moving forward. Once Paul approved the design, we began crafting his one-of-a-kind engagement ring. Upon receiving the final images and videos of the finished piece, Paul was overwhelmed and thrilled with the outcome, describing it as “gorgeous and beautiful.” His reaction was a testament to the time, dedication, and skill poured into creating a truly bespoke engagement ring.

4. The Result... Pure Happiness

Paul’s journey with Essex Bespoke Jewellery Ltd. showcases our ability to exceed expectations in craftsmanship, experience, and trust. His story highlights why we do what we do: crafting more than just jewellery—crafting lifelong memories. This project reaffirmed our core belief: when you work directly with a jeweller who listens, understands, and brings your vision to life, the experience becomes unforgettable.

Final Specifications:

  • Centre Stone: 3.01 carat elongated cushion brilliant cut diamond
  • Diamond Quality: Colour D, Clarity VVS1
  • Halo & Shoulder Diamonds: 0.50 carat total, set for added brilliance
Paul’s trust in our expertise led him to double his initial budget, recognising the exceptional craftsmanship, value, and knowledge we provided throughout the process.
