Carlotta Diamond 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!

I just wanted to give a big thank you for all the work on the ring - it looked even better than I thought it would and my now fiancee loved it!!! The timing was pretty incredible too, as I had planned to go ahead and propose on friday night, without a ring (controversially!) but then to have the ring finished early and literally hours in before the deed was great! So thanks Alice for all your work on the ring and everyone for being cheerful and helpful and encouraging throughout, I appreciate it all!

This exquisite diamond engagement ring from 1791 Diamonds is sure to set any heart on fire. Carlotta showcases a magnificent round brilliant diamond for the centre stone with a sophisticated pave setting along the shoulders which follows the curve of the finger beautifully and adds a fabulous sense of opulence to the design.
This is an ultra feminine style of diamond engagement ring. The delicate pave setting is made by fitting diamonds into tapered holes in the metal with some of the surrounding metal then raised to form beads which secure the stones. The effect is like tiny droplets forming two lines of shimmering light to emphasise the lustrous metal of the ring shank while leading the eye to the impressive centre stone.
Round brilliant diamonds make particularly impressive centre stones. The shape was calculated by a mathematician to optimise the amount of light reflected back through its top table face and hence why it sparkles so well; in combination with the pave set diamonds in the Carlotta design, the effect is quite breathtaking.
