FAQ

Design & Craftsmanship

Questions exploring the inspiration, proportions, craftsmanship and sculptural details behind the product.

What makes the Cannelé feel different from a traditional halo engagement ring? +
Traditional halo engagement rings often focus on emphasising the size of the centre diamond from the top view alone. The Cannelé was designed differently. The finer halo proportions, sculpted fluted detailing and considered side profile create a ring that feels refined and architectural from every angle rather than simply oversized from above.
Why do some halo engagement rings feel bulky or overly busy? +
Many halo rings use large surrounding stones, thick settings or heavy proportions that can overpower the centre diamond. A more refined halo relies on restraint. In the Cannelé design, the smaller surrounding diamonds and carefully balanced proportions allow the centre stone and overall form of the ring to breathe naturally.
What details separate a handcrafted engagement ring from a mass-produced ring? +
A handcrafted engagement ring usually shows greater sensitivity in proportion, finishing and small structural details. Areas that are often ignored in mass production, such as the side profile, underside and stone spacing, receive much more attention. Under microscope magnification, tiny refinements to settings, finishing and transitions become visible. The Cannelé includes intricate fluted detailing beneath the setting, even in areas rarely seen by anyone except the wearer.
Why do some engagement rings age better stylistically than others? +
Engagement rings often begin to feel dated when they rely too heavily on fashion-led details or exaggerated trends from a specific period. Designs built around proportion, balance and thoughtful craftsmanship tend to remain appealing for much longer. The Cannelé was created to feel distinctive and sculptural without chasing temporary trends.
Why do handcrafted engagement rings often feel different in person? +
The difference is often difficult to explain until someone holds the ring in their hand. Handcrafted engagement rings tend to feel more resolved, more refined and more considered because small details are adjusted by eye rather than purely by manufacturing efficiency. In the Cannelé, subtle transitions, proportions and finishing details contribute to a softer and more luxurious overall feel in real life.
Where did the inspiration for the Cannelé engagement ring come from? +
The Cannelé was designed during a deeply relaxed winter holiday in the Dordogne region of France in 2013. Sitting in front of a huge open log fire, Andrew Geoghegan began sketching softer sculptural forms inspired partly by the beautiful fluted shape of traditional French Cannelé pastries. Those flowing flutings evolved into the signature detailing that now defines the ring, giving it a sculptural feel that is both elegant and distinctive.
Why do some engagement rings look impressive online but disappointing in real life? +
Some engagement rings are designed mainly to create maximum visual impact in photographs, often using oversized halos, exaggerated proportions or heavy detailing. While those features can appear dramatic online, they do not always translate beautifully in real life. The Cannelé was designed with a stronger focus on balance, refinement and wearability, so the ring feels elegant and resolved both in photographs and when seen in person.
Who suits a sculptural engagement ring like the Cannelé? +
The Cannelé tends to appeal to people who want an engagement ring with individuality and depth rather than something purely conventional. Its sculptural detailing, softer architectural lines and balanced proportions attract clients looking for a ring that feels artistic, thoughtful and distinctive without becoming overpowering.
