Selecting the Perfect Engagement Ring
What is the Best Metal for Engagement Rings?
At SH Jewellery, our engagement rings are crafted in premium 18k gold or platinum, each with unique qualities suited to different lifestyles and skin sensitivities.
18k Gold offers the ideal blend of durability and richness. It’s available in:
- White Gold – A classic choice with a bright finish. Slightly more hypoallergenic than yellow or rose gold due to lower copper content. Requires occasional rhodium replating to maintain its shine.
- Yellow Gold – Warm and traditional. Slightly softer in tone, with a nostalgic appeal. May not suit highly sensitive skin.
- Rose Gold – Romantic and vintage-inspired. Known for its pinkish hue, it contains more copper, which adds strength but can trigger reactions in some individuals.
Platinum, by contrast, is a naturally white, hypoallergenic metal. It’s heavier, more durable, and won’t fade or require replating. The prongs holding your diamond in place wear down more slowly over time, making it ideal for active lifestyles. While platinum is more expensive, many of our customers consider it a worthwhile investment for lifelong wear.
How to Maximise Your Engagement Ring Budget
A higher budget doesn’t always equal a more beautiful engagement ring. Our consultants can help you achieve maximum brilliance and impact with smart design choices.
Opting for fancy-cut diamonds, such as Oval, Pear, or Emerald, can offer a larger appearance at a more accessible price point than Round Brilliant Cuts. Halo designs, which encircle the centre diamond with smaller stones, enhance size and sparkle without requiring a larger centre diamond.
Every ring at SH is crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail and superior diamond grades, so no matter your budget, you never compromise on quality.
Popular Engagement Ring Styles
Our engagement rings span a wide range of styles, each designed to celebrate your unique story.
Solitaire
Understated and elegant, solitaire engagement rings feature a single centre diamond in a classic setting that never goes out of style.
Timeless
With additional diamonds in the band, timeless engagement rings offer extra sparkle that accents the centre stone.
Halo
A circle of smaller diamonds around the centre stone enhances brilliance and gives the illusion of a larger diamond in halo engagement rings.
Three-Stone
Symbolising your past, present, and future, three-stone engagement rings feature three diamonds in perfect harmony.
Modern
Bold lines, unique settings, and contemporary shapes define our modern engagement rings, for those who walk their own path.

Understanding Diamond Quality
Every diamond at SH Jewellery is chosen for its exceptional cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight, also known as the 4Cs of diamonds. Our consultants take the time to explain each factor so you can feel confident in your selection.
- Cut – Impacts how light interacts with your diamond, creating brilliance.
- Colour – SH diamonds are typically in the D–F colour range, the highest on the GIA scale.
- Clarity – We offer eye-clean diamonds with minimal inclusions, graded to internationally recognised standards.
- Carat – A measure of weight, not just size. Our consultants help you find the ideal balance between size and quality.
We believe in educating before selling. That’s why every SH experience is guided by transparency, trust, and genuine care, whether you’re shopping online or visiting us in-store.
Engagement Rings: FAQs
Engagement rings in Australia typically range from $2,000 to $20,000, depending on diamond quality, carat size, metal type, and design. SH Jewellery offers options across a wide range of budgets.
SH Jewellery is Melbourne’s best-reviewed engagement ring destination, offering exclusive handcrafted designs, expert consultants, and superior diamond quality, available in-store and online with free delivery Australia-wide.
A popular choice in Australia is between 0.70 and 1.50 carats. The right size depends on your partner’s style, lifestyle, and budget. Our consultants can help guide your decision.
Round Brilliant Cut diamonds are typically the most expensive due to their popularity and higher rough diamond waste during cutting. Their symmetry and sparkle make them an enduring favourite.
Fancy shapes like Oval, Pear, Marquise, and Emerald Cuts are generally more affordable than Round diamonds and can appear larger for the same carat weight, offering excellent value.
Oval, Marquise, and Pear-shaped diamonds often look larger than Round Cuts of the same carat weight due to their elongated shape, which creates the illusion of a bigger stone.
