Discover how the acclaimed London duo Shimell & Madden redefine bespoke engagement rings through a stunning blend of geometry, traditional craft and contemporary design.

Why Shimell & Madden Bespoke Engagement Rings Are Truly Unique

From their East London studio, Emma Madden and Luke Shimell collaborate to create distinctive, design-led engagement rings, fusing conceptual design with traditional goldsmithing practice. Drawing inspiration from mathematics and architecture, each ring is a narrative of structure and symbolism—crafted with precision and passion.

Shimell & Madden offer an exceptional alternative to conventional engagement rings. Their work speaks to individuals seeking originality, depth and meaning in design - rings that go beyond traditional tropes to reflect modern values and aesthetics.

With an emphasis on geometry, craftsmanship and ethical sourcing, their pieces appeal to couples who want a ring that feels personal, intelligent and quietly radical.

Design-Led Aesthetics: Geometry, Texture & Material

For those with inherited jewellery or family gemstones, Shimell & Madden offer the opportunity to create something truly personal. They expertly repurpose heirloom or sentimental stones, breathing new life into existing materials. Whether redesigning a ring to feel more like you, or transforming a vintage piece into a modern heirloom, their approach honours the past while crafting for the future.

 

Architectural Forms & Textured Gold

Shimell & Madden’s signature style is their architectural ring silhouettes. Whether sunburst "Solar" styles, textured bezels or multi-band structures, all echo mathematical precision. Crafted from scratch in 18ct gold with satin, polished or more textured finishes, each piece is a tactile, non-conventional expression of modern luxury.

Ethical & Durable Gemstone Sourcing

Specialising in ethically-sourced diamonds, sapphires, spinel and topaz, the pair also expertly repurpose heirloom gems. With access to certified gemstone suppliers, clients can choose meaningful stones while receiving guidance on durability and design fit.
