Ecksand’s Engagement Rings are conceived as personal signatures; emotion shaped through intention, proportion, and ethical Canadian craftsmanship. Designed for those who value meaning as much as form, the collection brings together refined diamond and gemstone designs created in Montreal. Each ring offers a considered balance between tradition and individuality, allowing expression through precious materials and restrained design. From classic diamond rings to distinctive gemstone engagement rings, these engagement rings reflect clarity of purpose, responsible sourcing, and a lasting elegance that settles naturally into everyday life.
Within Ecksand’s Montreal atelier, Engagement Rings take shape through a fully integrated process that unites design, material selection, and handcraft under one roof. Each creation begins with solid gold of recycled origin or sustainable platinum, chosen for its strength, longevity, and subtle radiance. Ethical diamonds and carefully sourced gemstones form the centre of every ring, selected for both visual harmony and traceable origin.
The making of each ring unfolds gradually. Wax models allow artisans to study balance and proportion before casting, ensuring the design feels resolved from every angle. Prongs are carved individually, bezels sculpted by hand, and surfaces refined under magnification. This meticulous approach ensures comfort, structural integrity, and a natural relationship between stone and setting. Through this process, Engagement Rings are shaped not for a single moment, but for years of wear.
The collection explores a range of engagement rings styles, from restrained diamond solitaires to unique gemstone engagement rings that introduce color and nuance. Signature designs such as Secret Heart®, Love Knot®, and Blossom offer distinct interpretations, hidden symbolism, architectural continuity, or organic asymmetry, while remaining anchored in the Maison’s measured design language. non-traditional precious stone engagement rings featuring sapphires or emeralds provide an alternative expression of commitment, defined by the same clarity and precision as traditional diamond forms.
Designed to accompany both daily life and defining moments, these rings reflect the standard of engagement rings Montreal ateliers are known for: discreet excellence, ethical integrity, and enduring craftsmanship. Midway through creation, Engagement Rings undergo hand-setting and fine finishing, ensuring each detail supports both durability and visual balance.
In their final state, Engagement Rings are polished, inspected, and hallmarked, emerging as refined objects of intention, shaped by care and created to endure with quiet confidence. More than a symbol, an Ecksand Engagement Ring becomes a signature of the wearer. Jewelry as an articulation of character and modern presence. Over fifteen years of design and craftsmanship shape each personalized ring, capturing the moment and the story it begins.
