A Considered Approach, From First Conversation to Completion
At McGuire Diamonds, we believe choosing an engagement ring should feel thoughtful, reassuring, and personal from the very beginning.
Our process is designed to give you clear guidance, time to consider your options, and confidence in every decision — without pressure or obligation. Whether you are at the early research stage or ready to move forward, we guide you carefully through each step.
Every engagement ring journey begins with a conversation.
Some clients come to us with a clear idea of what they are looking for, while others are unsure where to begin. Both are equally welcome. The initial consultation is an opportunity to talk through ideas, ask questions, and understand what matters most to you.
Consultations are typically held in person, though we also work remotely with clients from the UK and the United States. Whichever way we meet, the focus is always on listening first and offering clear, practical guidance.
Once we understand your preferences, we guide you through diamond options and ring design at a comfortable pace.
This includes discussing natural and laboratory-grown diamonds, explaining differences clearly, and helping you understand what factors truly affect beauty, wearability, and long-term enjoyment. We take care to explain options in plain language, without unnecessary technical detail.
Design discussions are shaped around your lifestyle, taste, and expectations, ensuring the finished ring feels balanced, comfortable, and personal.
All engagement rings are created in-house, allowing us to maintain complete oversight from design through to completion.
Every diamond is personally selected by Eric McGuire, and each ring is made with close attention to proportion, craftsmanship, and durability. This hands-on approach allows us to ensure consistency, quality, and care at every stage of the process.
Timelines vary depending on the design and level of detail involved, but most engagement rings are completed within five weeks. We will always keep you informed and guide expectations clearly along the way.
Before your ring is complete, we carefully review every detail to ensure it meets our standards and your expectations.
The finished ring is presented ready to be worn and enjoyed, with guidance on care and wear provided as part of the process. For clients travelling from further afield, we take particular care to ensure collection or delivery is smooth and well coordinated.
Our relationship does not end once your ring is collected.
We offer professional check-ups and complimentary cleaning to help maintain the beauty of your ring over time. Every engagement ring is also supported by a lifetime manufacturing guarantee, reflecting our confidence in the craftsmanship and materials we use.
We are always happy to advise on care, resizing, or any questions that arise in the years ahead.
