Client Overview
Michael Arthur Diamonds is a luxury Australian jewellery brand known for its bespoke engagement rings and contemporary designs.

The Challenge
Buying an engagement ring is one of the most personal and emotional purchases a customer can make. Traditionally, it demands an in-store experience with trust, guidance, and tactile connection.
Michael Arthur Diamonds wanted to bring this process online without losing that intimacy. They envisioned an online experience that would:
- Allow customers to design and price their own custom rings in real time.
- Display live diamond availability, images, and videos directly from global suppliers.
- Maintain the luxury feel and craftsmanship synonymous with the Michael Arthur brand.
- Operate seamlessly across thousands of variants and hundreds of thousands of assets—without slowing down performance.
In short, they wanted to create a Covid-proof digital business model that could scale globally while preserving trust and emotion.
The Solution
Prosper Digital partnered with Michael Arthur Diamonds to create a custom Shopify Plus experience powered by innovation and technical excellence.
- Custom Diamond API: We developed a proprietary API that integrates with diamond supplier feeds to deliver real-time pricing, availability, and imagery, displayed instantly within the ring builder.
- Cloudflare-Powered Speed:
To handle the high data volume of diamond videos and imagery, we implemented Cloudflare caching for lightning-fast global load times.
- AWS S3 Image Infrastructure Shopify’s default 250-image limit per product couldn’t handle the sheer number of combinations required for ring design. We solved this by hosting over 40,000 ring and diamond images in AWS S3 buckets and dynamically serving them through a custom image carousel that updates based on the user’s selections.
- Interactive Ring Builder UI: A seamless, intuitive interface lets customers design every element of their ring — from setting style to diamond choice — and see live pricing updates instantly.
- Shopify Plus Foundation: The entire experience was built on Shopify Plus, ensuring scalability, security, and flexibility for future features and international growth.
The Impact
The results were immediate and transformative:
- Full ROI within 50 days of launch.
- Award-winning recognition, with the website named as a benchmark for innovation in the jewellery industry.
- Revenue growth through Covid, as online orders surged despite global retail downturns.
- Brand credibility elevated, attracting high-profile clients and media attention across Australia and beyond.
Michael Arthur Diamonds not only weathered the pandemic — they redefined what’s possible for luxury ecommerce.
