What our couples say
“We came in with one Pinterest screenshot and a story. Zac sketched the hidden halo in front of us. Five weeks later we were collecting it.”
“My partner and I had a great experience designing my engagement ring. Zac was easy to work with and brought my dream ring to life. I'm still obsessed with it!”
“From the very beginning, Zac made the experience of creating an engagement ring feel both personal and incredibly special. His knowledge, attention to detail and considered approach gave me complete confidence throughout the process. All of this added to a beautiful engagement and my fiancé couldn’t be happier!”
“Amazing service! Every step of the process was professional, easy, and enjoyable. The turnaround time was surprisingly quick without compromising on quality, and the craftsmanship is exceptional. We were so impressed with the engagement ring that we came back to have our wedding bands made as well.”
Some stories start better over coffee.

Questions, answered
How much does a custom engagement ring cost?
Most Orlaithea commissions start from $4,400 total, including a certified one carat lab-grown diamond. Because every ring is made to order in our own workshop, you choose where the budget goes: carat, metal, or detail. We design to your number, not the other way around.
How does payment work?
Nothing is due while we design together. Once your design is settled and your stone is chosen, a 50% deposit secures the diamond and the making begins. The remaining 50% is due when your ring is finished, at pickup from the Brisbane showroom or before fully insured shipping.
How long does the custom process take?
From your first conversation with Zac to a finished ring is usually two to three weeks, depending on how many design rounds you want. Your ring ships fully insured with a video preview before dispatch.
Can I use an heirloom diamond or my own stone?
Yes. Resetting a family stone into a new design is one of our favourite commissions. Bring it to your consultation and we will design around it, or pair it with lab-grown side stones matched to its cut and colour.
Do I need to know what I want before starting?
Not at all. Most clients arrive with a feeling rather than a design: a Pinterest board, a photo, or just the story of the person the ring is for. Zac sketches with you from there, and nothing is locked in until you have seen the design from every angle.
Custom engagement rings, designed in Brisbane
A custom engagement ring at Orlaithea is not a configurator with drop-down menus. It is a conversation with Zac, our head designer, that becomes a sketch, then a refined design, then a ring hand-crafted from raw metal at our workshop on Edward Street. Most commissions are finished and delivered within two to three weeks, fully insured anywhere in the world. Curious what happens between sketch and setting? Read the full custom ring process.
Custom does not mean expensive. Because we set certified lab-grown diamonds, D to E colour and VS1 clarity or better, most bespoke commissions start from $4,400 total, about the price of an ordinary ring from a cabinet. Most of our stones are VVS clarity. Bring an heirloom stone to reset, a photograph to reinterpret, or nothing but a story: the first consultation is free, in person at the Brisbane showroom or by call, with no obligation. If the moment is closer than a design process allows, our ready-to-ship engagement rings dispatch next business day, or browse the signature collection for designs that can be made yours in two to three weeks.
Not sure where to begin? Most commissions start from a style: a clean solitaire, a hidden halo with sparkle only the wearer sees, a symbolic three stone, or a toi et moi pairing two stones on one band. From there we choose the shape together, from the classic round to the elongated oval, and design the rest around you.
