Together is best. We believe this also applies to our rings. Many of our engagement rings are designed so they can still be worn after the wedding. Thanks to their fit and, depending on the model, raised setting, they are suitable as a contour ring in combination with our wedding rings or in ring stacking with other rings. This means you can continue wearing your engagement ring after the wedding — on its own or as part of a harmonious ring set. Two stories of love on one finger: we also show you which combination suits your style best in our wedding ring guide.
An engagement ring is often the first step on the road to marriage.

The meaning of engagement rings goes far beyond a beautiful piece of jewelry: it tells a story of love, promises, and symbolism that has evolved over centuries. When you choose one of our engagement rings made from recycled gold and with a synthetic lab-grown diamond, you combine this tradition with modern materials and designs and reinterpret classic engagement rings. In our Journal, you can learn more about the history of the engagement ring and the development of its symbolism. If you still need ideas for your proposal, you will also find inspiration there for your very own personal moment.

Helge Maren, the designer of your engagement ring
For Helge Maren Hauptmann, jewelry is something deeply personal. It preserves memories, tells stories, and often stays with us for a lifetime. This mindset shapes every piece of jewelry from Maren Jewellery.
After studying jewelry design in Pforzheim and spending many years in the industry, the designer founded Maren Jewellery in 2020 to create jewelry according to her own values: handcrafted and defined by a quiet luxury aesthetic. Using recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds, she creates pieces that do not need to be loud to make an impact—for women who value timeless design and a traceable origin of materials.
Our engagement rings combine different styles – from simple solitaire rings to expressive designs with multiple diamonds or special gemstones. This lets you choose a ring that suits your style and your story. If you want to learn more about choosing the shape, material, diamond, and ring size, you’ll find all the important information in our engagement ring guide. For a smaller budget, you’ll also find our engagement rings under 1000 euros. Regardless of price, every Maren ring is a unique piece of jewellery with personal meaning that can accompany you for many years. That’s why we offer different designs, so you can shape the expression of your love and your values in a very personal way. If you’d like to learn more about our wedding jewellery, you can find our pieces of jewellery for your wedding made from recycled gold here.
Frequently asked questions about our engagement rings
What distinguishes an engagement ring made from recycled precious metals?
An engagement ring made from recycled precious metals is crafted from existing metal that has been recovered, refined, and reused for jewelry. At Maren Jewellery, we use recycled gold for our gold engagement rings and, depending on the design, combine it with lab-grown synthetic diamonds. Gold can be melted down and reworked again and again without losing its fundamental material properties. Learn more about the materials we use on our website.
Are engagement rings made from recycled gold just as high-quality as engagement rings made from newly mined gold?
Yes. In principle, recycled gold has the same material properties as gold of the same alloy made from newly mined gold. What determines the properties and quality of a piece of jewelry is, among other things, the specific gold alloy, the craftsmanship, and the design. For our gold engagement rings, we use recycled gold. Learn more about the materials we use on our website.
Which hand do you wear an engagement ring on?
In Germany, the engagement ring is traditionally worn on the left hand, as it is considered the "hand of the heart." After the wedding, it is often moved to the right hand together with the wedding ring or continued to be worn as an anniversary ring. Which option is right for you depends entirely on your personal style and wedding ring concept. In our journal, we take a closer look at the question: 'Which hand is the right one for the engagement ring?'
What should I look for when buying an engagement ring with a diamond?
When buying a diamond engagement ring, you can pay attention to the diamond’s size, cut, color, and clarity, as well as the setting, ring design, and the precious metal used. The so-called 4 C’s provide an important guide to a diamond’s characteristics and quality: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat. At Maren Jewellery, we use lab-grown synthetic diamonds for our engagement rings. Learn more about how they are made in our journal about lab-grown diamonds.
How do I find out the ring size for an engagement ring?
The easiest way to find the ring size for an engagement ring is to already have one of your partner’s rings as a reference that fits well on the relevant finger. On every Maren Jewellery product page, you’ll find our Size Guide available for download or printing next to the size selection field, where you can simply compare the ring with our circle templates to determine the size you need. The sizes shown correspond to the ring’s inner circumference.
If you don’t have a suitable ring on hand and want to find out the size secretly, we’ve put together some tips in a journal on how to find out the ring size without a ring. Otherwise, you can always cut out our measuring tape from the Size Guide and cut along the dotted line. Then you can wrap the measuring tape around your partner’s finger and read off the ideal ring size.
Is it safe to order an engagement ring online?
Yes, high-quality engagement rings can also be ordered online. Pay attention to clear information about materials, diamonds, ring sizes, manufacturing, delivery times, and return and service options. If you have any questions about an engagement ring, we’ll be happy to advise you personally so you can clarify all the important details before placing your order. Please note that for jewelry pieces made individually to your wishes or clearly personalized, the statutory right of withdrawal may be excluded.
