Tamara Engagement Ring

Glen O

As I began to delve into the multiple layers of well packaged merchandise I started to feel like I was playing "pass the parcel" at a birthday party!

First the plastic envelope... RIP

Then another layer of plastic wrap... RIP

Then a few layers of bubble-wrap... tossed over my head

Then a big dark blue 1791 box (delicately saved for re-packing purposes)

Then a smaller dark blue 1791 box (again saved for re-packing)

Then a small ring box... which refused to open until I realized it had a tiny (maybe child resistant) lock..

Followed by the Mother Lode! WOW!

Thank you for such a nice piece of art. one that she will never see in a Michael Hill store!

We love this ring! 1791 designer, Alice Herald, worked with me over several weeks to create a beautiful engagement ring. I told Alice about the symbols that reflected our relationship and sent images of ideas that I liked. she captured the essence of the design elements in a way that I had not even imagined. I am most pleased with this product and am proud to offer it to my fiance.

it has been a pleasure to work with 1791 Diamonds from design to delivery.

Thank you for all of your assistance with this process.

The Tamara Diamond Ring from 1791 Diamonds is a classic four claw solitaire. This style, although simple, remains one of the most popular choices for diamond engagement rings. Do not, however, take "simple" to mean "plain"; the Tamara design is strikingly beautiful and it is perhaps its simplicity which makes the diamond solitaire so charming.

A solitaire focuses attention on one single diamond, it is essential therefore to select a stone of the highest quality while staying within your personal budget. Purchasing through 1791 Diamonds is a good start since their diamonds are all within the top grades for cut, colour and clarity. They also provide a helpful online tool to help you select a diamond according to the "4Cs" (cut, colour, clarity and carat) and to see how this affects the overall price of your ring. You can also choose between 18kt yellow or white gold, or platinum for the ring's band.

The diamond of choice for the Tamara design is the stunning round brilliant cut. Once again, this is a popular choice of diamond but do not let this put you off on the grounds that your ring will appear ordinary or commonplace. The reason that brides-to-be often favour this particular cut is that it was specifically designed to optimise its extraordinary sparkling effect.
