Engagement Ring Upgrades
At Lily Arkwright, we understand that an engagement ring is more than just a piece of jewellery, it’s a symbol of love, commitment, and your unique story. Whether you're celebrating a milestone anniversary, renewing your vows, or simply want to refine your ring to better suit your evolving style, an upgrade can be the perfect way to breathe new life into your treasured piece.
Below, we explore some of the most popular and elegant engagement ring upgrades available to help you create a ring that feels just right for you.
Pointed Prongs
For a sleek, modern twist on a traditional setting, pointed prongs can add an elevated sense of elegance and edge to your engagement ring. This upgrade subtly enhances the stone’s shape, adds a subtle touch of character to a classic solitaire, and can make your centre stone appear even more refined. It's a popular choice to add onto our classic cathedral styles such as Isabella and Elena, or organic flowing designs such as Annora. It's a small detail that brings a lot of personality to an otherwise simple design.
Engraving
Make your ring truly one-of-a-kind with a heartfelt engraving. Whether it’s a special date, initials, a short quote, or even a secret message only the two of you understand, engraving adds an intimate and meaningful touch. This timeless upgrade is a wonderful way to infuse your ring with even more sentimental value. Popular choices include significant dates, initials, or even your partner’s maiden name or a nickname shared between the two of you - the options are endless!

Double Prongs
For those seeking a vintage-inspired or more secure setting, double prongs offer both beauty and durability. This design upgrade frames your gemstone in a unique and stylish way, especially well-suited to radiant, emerald, and cushion cuts. The added symmetry and strength also provide extra peace of mind for everyday wear.
Bezel Engagement Rings
The bezel setting is a sophisticated, modern choice for anyone seeking a sleeker, more protective look. Surrounding the gemstone entirely or partially in precious metal, this upgrade provides a seamless silhouette while safeguarding the edges of your stone, making it perfect for those with an active lifestyle or minimalist aesthetic. We offer bezel upgrades as part of our Premium Bespoke Design Service, through which you can design your own custom ring and make as many alterations to the design as you wish!

Hidden Halo
For those who adore a touch of secret sparkle, a hidden halo is a dazzling upgrade. Unlike traditional halos, this design sits just beneath the centre stone, only visible from certain angles. It offers a delicate shimmer without overwhelming the overall look, and is ideal for those who love understated glamour with a luxurious twist.
Invisible Diamond Gallery
A contemporary and refined enhancement, the invisible diamond gallery incorporates delicate, pavé set diamonds along the inner face of the ring setting, underneath the main stone. It’s a great way to add a touch of sparkle to a ring with a gallery rail incorporated into the design, such as our Isabella and Florence styles. This subtle yet stunning detail is often only visible to the wearer, making it a romantic and personal surprise that adds brilliance from every angle.

Band Width Upgrades
Sometimes a subtle shift can make a big difference. Whether you prefer a slender, delicate band or a bold, substantial look, adjusting the width of your band can completely transform the ring’s overall feel. This upgrade is a beautiful way to match your ring to your personal style, while also improving comfort and proportion.
