What is a dress ring?

A dress ring is a term used to describe any ring that is not an engagement or wedding ring. These rings can be designed for either special occasions – sometimes referred to as cocktail or dinner rings, which tend to feature large bold gemstones and diamonds or it could be something simple for everyday wear, such as a stacking set or a simple solitaire.

What kind of coloured gemstones and metals can I use in a dress ring?

If you intend to wear your dress ring every day, then we suggest diamonds or sapphires for your dress ring as these are the most resistant to scratching and are the most suitable for everyday activity. If you intend to wear your ring for special occasions only, your options for coloured gemstones are endless! When it comes to choosing a metal for everyday wear, we recommend platinum or 18ct white gold, rose gold or yellow gold. Speak to a Larsen jeweller in Melbourne and Sydney about your design options.

How is a dress ring different to an engagement ring?

There is not a great deal of difference between a dress ring and an engagement ring other than the intention of the giver. An engagement ring is given at a proposal or when a couple decides to get married. A dress ring can be given for any occasion. Traditionally diamonds are more commonly given in an engagement ring and dress rings tend to feature more coloured stones such as sapphires, however there is no hard and fast rule here and generally people will choose their preferred stone based on personal taste and style. Visit a studio in Melbourne or Sydney to explore dress ring design ideas with a jeweller.

How do I design a custom dress ring?

A good place to start is to look through our custom ring gallery that shows a wide range of unique dress and cocktail ring designs. You can also try on our display rings for inspiration, or you can send us pictures of designs that you like. When you are ready, get in touch and one of our designers in Melbourne or Sydney will guide you through the process of designing your dress ring including the selection of your diamonds or gemstones and metal (Yellow gold, rose gold, white gold or platinum).

What Our Customers Say

We are so grateful to Natalie from Larsen who was an absolute wizard when it came to bringing our engagement ring vision to life: it is absolutely stunning! Considering this ring was custom made just for us, the price was incredibly competitive compared to quotes we had from other jewelers that were NOT bespoke. Thank you Natalie and the team at Larsen for all of your help. This is a treasure that will stay in our family forever.

Had my absolutely gorgeous engagement ring made through Larsen's. Alex was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole process, even through lockdowns! We were shown many stones and options and never felt pressured to rush a decision or go above our budget. The final product is absolutely stunning and we would not hesitate going back to Larsen's in the future.
