The most popular time to propose is between Christmas and Valentines day, with the average man spending three months researching and looking for the perfect ring. So if you're not used to buying jewellery or not sure what her style of jewellery is, let us help.

Here at Nude Jewellery we specialise in the unusual, quirky and contemporary engagement rings and we love a challenge. Choosing a bespoke engagement ring is a great option because it means it will be special and unique. Plus being involved in the design process can be quite fun!

We specialise in creating handmade engagement rings and now have over 19 years experience. This service allows you to mix your individual style with a timeless bespoke jewellery piece that can be worn forever and be unique to you. We make sure that you are included throughout each aspect of the process to ensure that you feel confident that the finished result will be just as you imagined.

So, where do you start? Easy. There are a few questions that you can ask yourself to help narrow down the style of ring that would suit.

• Does your partner prefer dainty or bold?

• Would they like understated or dazzling?

• Which metal would they prefer, silver, yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, palladium or platinum? If you are not sure of the differences of the different metals then read our blog post: Explaining Precious Metals

• Are they traditional in style or would the prefer an unusual design?

• Would they prefer diamonds or would they prefer colour and gemstones?

I have been designing and making jewellery for nineteen years, yet it has only been in the past two or three years that customers have started to request rose gold jewellery especially when it comes to bespoke engagement and wedding rings. Before this I have to confess that we had never worked with rose gold.

As a designer and owner of Nude Jewellery I have to keep up with the latest trends within the jewellery industry and this is one of the largest new trends in many years. Rose gold within the mainstream is still probably an unusual option, roughly one in five of the engagement rings we make are now rose gold but we are known for our more unusual designs.

Rose gold has a warmth to it that suits many skin tones, it has a beautiful softness to it especially in 18 carat gold where the copper content is less than in 9 carat. It also seems rose gold is so popular that it has spilt over into home accessories, furniture and even rose gold metallic nail varnish!

Here are some images of rose gold jewellery that we have made for customers over the past few year's and jewellery that designs that make to order. We hope you are inspired.

For more information you can look at our Bespoke Jewellery page, our Unusual Engagement Rings page or the Rose Gold page.
