Personalising an engagement ring is one of our strengths here at Katie g. Jewellery. Located in our Atelier in Vienna, Austria, we meet our clients’ needs by focusing on custom designs while using quality recycled materials, including sustainable gold and diamonds.

Our beautifully designed custom, handcrafted rings are tailored to your vision, with expert guidance to choose the perfect stone size and setting that flatters your hand.

Discover what it takes to find your perfect ring.

Finding the Perfect Stone for Your Hand Size

You may be drawn to large gems, and they may work for you, but be aware that larger stones may not be the best fit for everyone.

It’s important to match the stone size and shape to the wearer’s finger length and width, and to the hand’s dimensions.

An oversized stone on a petite hand can be out of proportion, possibly creating a less-than-elegant effect. Furthermore, if you have an active lifestyle and use your hands a lot, a larger stone might be less practical in day-to-day wear. Similarly, a tiny stone on a larger hand may appear dwarfed and insignificant.

Our design process will explore several important considerations to come up with the right options for hand-flattering stones for you:

Your personal style and flair: Tell us about your everyday style and anything else that speaks to your personality.
Any special requests or preferences: Do you have a family heirloom stone waiting to be reimagined? Have you seen any rings, or aspects of certain pieces that you loved?
Your hand size and shape: We will analyse your hand and recommend cuts and settings that best suit your unique hand shape.
Lifestyle: Let us know what your daily activities look like to ensure the ring suits your needs.

Precious Stones Beyond Diamonds

Diamonds aren’t the only possibilities. The world of gemstones offers many options. Choose from among different types of sapphire, aquamarine, topaz, emerald, and many other options. You may wish to pick a stone with special significance, such as:

A gemstone in your favorite color
A stone with symbolic meaning that resonates with you and your partner
Your favorite precious gem
A stone that reflects your unique love story

Whether you want an ultra-brilliant gem or a more subdued look, there are many options to consider. On the practical side, check how different gems complement your skin tone. Beyond that gemstones also greatly vary in their hardness meaning that some are more suitable to be worn daily while others are a little more fragile. We would be happy to advise you on this in a free of charge consultation in our Atelier.

Beyond Size: Design Details that Tell Your Story

While a gemstone can represent something unique about your relationship, there are other ways to inject parts of your love story into your engagement rings design.

By customising an engagement ring with a designer, you’ll be choosing designs based on each other’s interests, shared memories, and special moments - creating a collection of personal stories within one ring.

How does a jeweler go about personalising custom engagement rings? These are some of the top methods we use:

By designing unique settings that bring a contemporary twist to a traditional style, add a touch of elegance, or emphasise something special about your relationship. You can check out custom designs.
Hand engravings offer endless creative possibilities. Personalise your piece with a unique hand engraving.
By taking a family heirloom and incorporating it into a new ring design, like The Ring Casing©, you can breathe new life into a treasured piece.

Sustainable Design

Your jewellery should not only make you feel beautiful but also speak to your deepest values. Katie g. is proud to source responsibly, produce locally, and recycle.

Sustainable Gold

Sustainable gold and diamonds offer many benefits, including:

Environmentally friendlier alternative to mining
Reduces mining waste while preserving natural resources
Eliminates harmful chemicals, such as mercury and cyanide, used in industrial mining
Local recycling and reusing reduces transport emissions
Recycled gold is typically a more economical option for couples

What’s more, sustainable gold that has been recycled is just as beautiful as newly mined gold, thanks to the metal’s unique properties that prevent it from rusting or tarnishing. Simply put, gold is gold, whether it’s recycled or mined.

Sustainable Diamonds

We prioritise the ethical sourcing of diamonds. We use natural diamonds sourced from conflict-free regions and reuse diamonds from treasured heirlooms to ensure we source diamonds sustainably.
