The cost of an engagement ring can be tailored to suit different budget levels when you have a custom made engagement rings. We do this simply by

They sure are tough, but can they be broken? Well in fact the answer is a

Clarity Grade Issues: The Diamond Analogy

Diamonds can be given the same grade but this does not mean they are the same.

Same Clarity Grade? Doesn’t Mean They are Equal. Purchasing a diamond based just on its grade and price is unwise, as although two diamonds may be the same grade on paper, they can look, and in fact be, vastly different. This is of particular importance when looking at the clarity grade of a diamond. Although

Ian did a fantastic job creating my wife’s engagement and wedding rings. I came in with some basic ideas, and we worked together to design the perfect rings. I appreciated Ian's attention to my budget and the 3D renders he provided, which helped me visualize the design before it was made.I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a bespoke ring.

Ian and Jess have provided the most incredible service throughout the whole process of designing an engagement ring and wedding bands. Ian's attention to detail and ability to interpret our vision, paired with Jess's extraordinarily communication skills, left me and my fiance not only with stunning rings, but with fond memories of the whole experience.My fiance remarked that she's a little bit sad we've finished the process and don't have any future appointments to look forward to.10/10 will return as soon as we find a reason to. Most likely going to book a cheeky appointment to show them wedding photos.

Ian was incredible with his communication. It was my first time purchasing an engagement ring and he was attentive and accommodating to my busy schedule. We liaised predominantly through emails and he provided detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses for ring settings. He was also very proactive in narrowing down suitable specific characteristics for a diamond at a reasonable price. Keep up the great work.

Ian’s attention to detailed design and exceptional craftsmanship combined with Jess’s great organisation made for a superb experience in what’s a daunting industry to the uninitiated.My wife’s sapphire engagement ring, spacer, and 5 stone diamond wedding band, and my own wedding band (repurposed from my Dad’s) are impeccable and exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

This is the best place to get a custom ring made. Ian and Jess are lovely to deal with, consider carefully what you want and make it happen. Ian is a genuine craftsman who takes pride in his work and just makes beautiful rings. My fiance was so happy with her wedding ring that she cried, she adores her engagement ring and I couldn't be happier with the finished design of my own wedding ring. These guys are a treasure and I wish there were more small businesses like this in Victoria. I would never go anywhere else.

I highly recommend Ellissi Jewellery. Ian and Jess are so friendly and lovely to work with. Ian is very knowledgeable and pays close attention to the finer details in his work. He takes the time to sit with you and explain different options when selecting a ring. I love my engagement ring and wedding band and I would definitely recommend Ellissi to family and friends.

Engagement ring (green/teal sapphire)!Ian and Jess are superb. For something that is a huge moment in life, they provide service like no other profession.Not only did they immediately grasp what my partner and I were looking for, they provided advice that I didn't find anywhere else such as practicality of the design (strength and structure) and their preferences (Jess's lovely earrings and rings).Already recommended to all family/friends that this was more than just buying a ring, it's an experience and one that we'll treasure and use for maintenance and the wedding ring...

I am so thankful to both Ian and Jessica for making the design and purchase of my wedding band all so simple. Ian has many many years of experience in jewellery making and this definitely shows in his work. Not only was it made exactly the way I wanted and actually exceeded my expectations, it also was incredibly affordable. I absolutely adore my ring and I will be treasuring it for the rest of my life. A massive thank you to Ian and Jessica xx

And highly recommend them to others!

We’ve just had our wedding about 3 weeks ago, so this review is long overdue. We would like to thank Ellissi for their amazing service. Prior to making an appointment I did my research and could find nothing but positive reviews about Ellissi. From the first email to when we first walked into their door, Jess and Ian, were very welcoming. They were both very professional and lovely with a clean working space/ office. My engagement ring was made about 2 years ago whilst our wedding bands were made just last year. The consultations were free and Ian really took the time to explain everything we needed to know about the ring. He was honest, used simple terms and relatable metaphors to explain the details of a ring – 4C’s and no question was ever too silly to ask him. He told us many things that I wasn’t even aware of from my research online, and their rings are GIA certified (but he will explain all this properly) so it’s definitely worth a visit. Even my husband (who knew nothing about rings) was super impressed by the time the consultation had ended and even he found the ring education interesting. Ian NEVER once throughout the process pressured us into buying a ring, instead, listened patiently to really assist us in finding the ring that was right for me. Ian made us feel so comfortable and we could sense he genuinely cared. When I left his office that day, I thought – “yep, I’m choosing him to make my ring” (Note: this was the only ring company I had gone to as well, but went into many jewellery stores, but feeling confident with Ellissi, I knew I didn’t need to waste my time going elsewhere). From memory (2 years ago) we had about 3 visits total and in the end picked up my engagement ring once it was completed. I absolutely LOVE my engagement ring – it’s truly a work of art and can tell he was very meticulous about the finer details. I always get praises for my ring and omg it’s super sparkly. I later found out that my work colleague had her ring made through Ellissi over 10 years ago too and she was very happy with her ring. My husband finally proposed in March 2019. Months before our wedding, we then went back to Ian to make our wedding bands. My wedding band also matches beautifully with my engagement ring and it’s so comfortable to wear. My husband who loves gold, was blown away with his ring. We would like thank Ian, Jess and the team for their wonderful service. It was always a pleasure meeting up with them and I even joked about seeing him again in 10 years time to make an anniversary ring. I WOULD HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Ellissi to all men looking to make that special ring fit for his beautiful wife. I/ We cannot speak highly enough about Ellissi and have recommended them to all our other family and friends – A & H Xoxo.

Ian is incredible, a skilled craftsman, incredibly talented and just an all 'round nice guy to boot. Ian and the team designed my engagement ring and both of our wedding bands, as well as my eternity ring five years later as a surprise with my husband. I recommend Ellissi to anyone that will listen and will be a loyal customer forever. Next thing on the list are some earrings to match my rings!

Even when I changed my mind!! Nothing was a bother.Ian understood completely what we wanted ... And the end result is spectacular.He and Jessica also provide such wonderful service. Couldn't recommend Ellissi more highly.

Designing and buying a ring from Ellissi was an absolutely pleasure. Ian and Jess were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We went in knowing very little about diamonds and engagement rings. The time the Ellissi team took to help us understand what we were buying and how to create a beautiful ring that would last (and at a cost within our budget) was invaluable. Could not recommend them more highly!!

I had a fantastic experience with Ian and Jess and I highly recommend Ellissi Jewelry.Ian provided an exceptional quality of service. He was very patient in explaining the aspects of diamonds and assisted me with recommendations to find something in my budget. He was also very experienced when it came to the detailed design asthetics of the engagement ring and helped shape a design I had mind. Jess was also very helpful with fielding many questions on options I had and providing updates on the progress of making the ring, and how to care for it after purchase.

It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Ian, Jess & the team at Ellissi!The entire process was made easy from start to finish. From my initial enquiry to collecting the ring, it was a stress-free process & easier than I expected.It is evident that Ian is passionate about his work & takes time to educate you should you have any questions. I felt at ease from the time I first spoke to Ian who helped me with my decision on choosing the engagement ring that my fiancé loves.It is hard to find a kind, honest & skilled person like Ian! I'm glad I did.We'll be back at Ellisi for our wedding rings.Truly First Class!! Seven stars from me!!!

I found Ellissi on a google search for engagement rings, and I couldn't be happier with the ring Ian made for my girlfriend.He was very helpful throughout the whole process, and broke down exactly what I should be looking at to make the process of buying an engagement ring a whole lot less intimidating.I would absolutely go back to him for future jewelry and recommend him for anyone looking to buy jewelry.

Ben Roney

Ian at Ellissi Jewellery is amazing!!!I went in with no idea of what type and style of ring and Ian spent the time showing me what is what.I went away compared to other large and small jewellers and nothing compared to the quality and customer service as Ellissi!!After changing my mind several times on Ian as I developed more information as to what my now fiancé would like he was very supportive and adaptable.When I picked up the ring I was just shocked how detailed and WOW this ring looked.10/10 cannot recommend Ellissi Jewellery any higher!

Thank you Ian for the stunning and unique wedding band you designed and created for me!I came to Ian, frustrated that multiple jewellers could not help me. I had purchased an engagement ring from another company that had a unique base that made it almost impossible for a wedding band to sit flush without a big hole or curve being incorporated into the design. Add to this I wanted a wedding band that was dramatic, thick and was filled with diamonds. Overall I acknowledged this was a very complex design brief and add to that a limited budget!The first thing I noticed about Ian was that he is genuinely interested in educating his clients and has their best interests at heart. Unlike many jewellers I met who said ‘yes’ to please their clients or secure their business, Ian was honest about design concepts, what would or would not work and how to get the best value for money without compromising on quality or style. He was happy to answer my many questions in detail and met with me on multiple occasions, even before we decided to hire him. He is very generous with his time and it is clear that his priority is to ensure his clients get a well designed/made ring and they are happy with it .What most impressed me about Ian was his depth of knowledge about metals and stones and how a ring would look and feel and fit and move when it was made. That innate knowledge is priceless when creating a ring that you will wear forever.Ian is an amazing artisan. He was able to take a very rough idea I had broadly described to him and turn it into a ring that surpassed all of my expectations. He listened to my complex design brief and was able to deliver a ring that met all my ‘must haves’ and ticked boxes I didn't know existed! His creativity, attention to detail and his passion and pride in his work sets him apart from other jewellers.The wedding band is absolutely beautiful, it is everything we could want and best of all both rings sit perfectly all the time! We receive compliments about the wedding band everywhere we go. Thank you to Ian and Jess for your patience and understanding during this process, you were just as keen as I was to get it right - if not more so. Through all the revisions and the countless hours of extra work you did, what stood out was your desire to deliver the ring I envisioned. We greatly appreciate your work - most importantly the ring reflects us, is functional and is perfect! We are so glad we chose Ellissi and highly recommend Ian and Jess and the team!
