Morganite Engagement Rings

Named after financier J.P. Morgan, morganite is a lovely peach-pink variety of beryl, a relative of emerald and aquamarine. It was discovered in 1910 and has become incredibly popular as an engagement ring stone. Its pale or "tender" pink evokes love and innocence. Morganites are especially popular among young couples, which is fitting since these stones are said to promote youthfulness, emotional growth and marital love.

Morganite's color range includes pinkish-orange, salmon pink, and violet-hued pink. Stones that are pure pink to rose in color are currently more popular than those that are peach, although these trends change quickly, and we’ve seen a rise in popularity for the orange/peach pink colors. Morganites tend to be light-toned, making clarity extremely important. You should expect to choose a very clear morganite for your center stone.

Minas Gerais, Brazil produces the greatest amount of morganite, including pure pink crystals as well as roughs containing both morganite and aquamarine. Madagascar produces some of the finest morganites in the world, including some stones with a stunning magenta color. And we get a good portion of our morganite from the Shaki Plains in Nigeria, where one of our trusted gem suppliers works closely with the local communities, ensuring proceeds from our gem purchases support these peaceful mining communities much more directly.

Almost all morganites are heat treated to remove their yellow or orange hues and make the stone appear pinker. The result is stable and won’t fade. While not as durable as sapphire or diamond, morganite is fairly scratch resistant (7.5-8 on the Mohs scale), which makes it easy to maintain and set in jewelry. Unlike emerald, most morganites can be cleaned in ultrasonic and steam cleaners.

Our gem specialists guide you through the entire process! Take a look at our selection guide to get a sense of the characteristics you'll want to consider. With your input, our team will select morganite options for you to consider, showing you detailed photos of each gem and guidance on how to consider the trade-offs, until you've found the stone that's perfect for your ring.

Typically, your custom piece will be in your hands 2-4 weeks after we've finalized your design. However, because each project is different, the time it takes to complete your project may vary. Here's a rough breakdown of how long each part of our process takes:

When it comes to creating your design, we'll work at your pace. Some customers only need to exchange a few messages with us - we'll often be ready to make their piece within a few days. Others may prefer to design and iterate with us over many weeks, or even months.

Once you've approved a design, we'll manufacture your piece, finishing all the details by hand. When it's ready, we'll send you photographs of your finished piece so you can give us your seal of approval before we ship it to you.

We offer free shipping within the US via FedEx or USPS, and we ship international packages via DHL Worldwide Express, one of the fastest services available. Depending on location, international shipments can sometimes be delayed by local customs for inspection, which can extend the delivery time.

In general, our custom rings are the same price as similar rings off-the-shelf ('similar' meaning a comparable selection of metals and gemstones used, which are the biggest factors in price). Our aim is to make high-quality custom designs accessible to everyone.

Each ring we produce starts off as a brand new concept. Because of that, it’s difficult to know how much a piece is going to cost without knowing a bit more about the idea you have in mind.

The easiest way to figure out how much your ring will cost is to start a consultation with us and let our team know what you're looking for - we can provide an estimate with only a few details.

There's no charge to discuss your design, and price out options with our team. In many cases, our jewelry designers will also create artistic sketches of our design concepts for your piece. We request a deposit prior to producing 3D models and renderings of your design and that deposit goes toward the final cost of producing your piece.

Unlike most jewelers, we don't keep a huge inventory of gems. Since every piece we make is custom, we prefer to source each stone individually, to suit the design and the specific needs of each customer.

As with the rest of our design process, our team will guide you through the gem selection process. We start by figuring out what's important to you in a gemstone, whether it's budget, origin, size, color, or simply the overall look. With that in mind, we research and prepare a set of options that we think would work for you. Some come from our curated collection, others from a network of trusted suppliers, and in some cases, we may opt to have an expert lapidary custom cut your gem. You'll make the final decision on the option that best meets your needs, and we'll make sure you have everything you need to make the best choice.

Our primary goal with gemstones is transparency. The center stone is an essential part of the look of your ring and it can be a big financial decision. Trust is built on honest communication, so we work hard to give you all the information you need to make a confident choice.

We stand behind our jewelry 100% and we offer a comprehensive set of warranties so that you can purchase with confidence.

We guarantee our workmanship and take responsibility for any structural defects.

All the materials (metals, diamonds, and gemstones) we sell are authentic and properly specified in your proposal agreement.

If any small accent gems (<$100 value) break or fall out of their settings in the first year after we create the ring or within a year of us performing maintenance on the ring, we’ll replace them free of charge.
