Diamond Engagement Rings

A 1 carat diamond is perfect for an engagement ring. Especially beautiful when set in a solitaire engagement diamond ring, the 1 carat diamond demands attention. 

When searching for a ring, carats refer to the weight of the stone rather than the actual size. Although a 2 carat diamond ring may be larger than a 1 carat diamond, what matters most is the quality. An expertly cut 1 carat diamond ring can be just as exquisite, reflecting an impressive amount of light. For those on a budget, a cluster of smaller diamonds equalling 1 carat in total can achieve a magnificent result at a more accessible price point. 

No matter the size or shape, your diamond engagement ring—or coloured gemstone engagement ring, if you prefer—should represent the strong bond that you and your partner will continue to forge for many years to come.

A diamond engagement ring is a timeless choice and continues to be in demand. Not only is it beautiful, it’s also a tangible symbol of your love for each other, which is why these rings are so highly sought after. 

A diamond engagement ring is one of the most emotional purchases you can make in your life, something sentimental that you and your partner will cherish for a lifetime. 

Diamond rings are versatile and suit everyone. They can be cut into a variety of shapes and sizes, and be paired with a number of different settings, including halo—where a feature diamond is surrounded by a multitude of smaller diamonds—and solitaire, where the feature stone sits solo within its setting. Vintage inspired engagement rings have a timeless appeal, evoking true romance with their ornate floral and art deco-inspired diamond designs. 

But most importantly, a diamond engagement ring is worth the time picking out, if that is what speaks to you.  

Not only mesmerising, diamond engagement rings offer a timeless style that stands strong against the trend tides. From regal origins dating back to 1477—diamond rings have provided countless couples the joy of a very special gemstone.

Diamond engagement rings can also be a wonderful symbol of an unbreakable love. As the hardest naturally-occurring material on Earth, diamonds possess such qualities as strength, longevity and durability. Diamonds can also be used to accent coloured gemstones, adding extra sparkle and shine to engagement rings.
