Services

Custom Engagement Rings

We specialise in creating unique engagement rings tailored to individual preferences. Our process begins with a consultation to understand your vision, followed by 3D design visualisation and selection of ethically sourced gemstones. Each piece is handcrafted in-house using traditional techniques combined with modern technology, ensuring precision and durability. Clients receive progress updates throughout the 15-day creation period, with options for expedited timelines when needed.

Jewellery Remodelling

Transform inherited or outdated pieces into contemporary designs while preserving sentimental value. Our experts assess existing jewellery to incorporate original stones into new settings, offering 3D renderings for approval before work begins. The process typically takes 4-6 weeks, with options for partial remodelling or complete reconstruction using recycled metals and additional ethically sourced materials.

Sapphire Jewellery

We curate a selection of Australian and international sapphires for bespoke creations, from classic blues to rare parti-coloured stones. Clients receive expert guidance on cut, clarity, and ethical sourcing, with options for heat-treated or untreated gems. Our designers specialise in art deco-inspired settings that highlight each stone's natural beauty, ensuring secure settings for everyday wear.

3D Design Consultation

Visualise your custom design through detailed 3D CAD models before production begins. This service allows adjustments to proportions, stone placement, and metal choices, ensuring client satisfaction prior to crafting. The digital prototype process typically completes within 3-7 days, depending on design complexity and current workload.

Jewellery Repairs

Comprehensive repair solutions for damaged or worn pieces, including claw rebuilding, stone replacement, and rhodium plating. Our in-house jewellers handle intricate restorations while maintaining structural integrity. Clients receive a detailed assessment and quote before work commences, with most repairs completed within 4-10 days using traditional techniques.

I can not thank Bentley De Lisle enough for my perfect custom made engagement ring. I didn't know what I wanted in my ring until a day or 2 before my consult. David & the staff here are experts at what they do. The whole process was smooth sailing and I only ever saw the drafted up design for my approval. Words cannot describe how much I loved that ring once I laid my eyes on it when my partner proposed. It's looks amazing in every light imaginable. The cost is more affordable than you may think. If your looking for a custom made jewler in Brisbane look no further!

Bentley De Lisle and my fianc have designed the most breathtaking ring. Every time I look at it I love it more. Its intricate, delicate and personalised to suit me. My friends keep saying its so you and it really is. The attention to detail with the basket, the thin band, the number of diamonds each on each shoulder and the yellow gold is incredible.
BDL really listen to what the client believes and wants. My fianc said he enjoyed the whole design and creation of the ring and was updated with reassuring progress videos along the way.
Im very impressed with the lifelong guarantee

Simply amazing! I can't speak highly enough of Bentley De Lisle. From start to finish my first custom jewellery experience was perfect. The entire team were friendly, professional and prompt in their customer service and it went above and beyond what I imagined a jewellery experience could be like. My partner said yes and couldn't be more happy with her engagement ring. I'll definitely be a return customer and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

Wonderful experience with the team, amazing service for such a special outcome. The team made sure everything was easy from my side and most importantly she said yes and that it was the most beautiful ring she had seen. Couldn't recommend Bentley De Lisle more, will be back soon for wedding bands
