Custom Engagement Ring Design Service
We provide a custom engagement ring design service for those looking for something completely unique. The ring will be designed in consultation with our head designer Alice Herald and made by our master jewellers. There is a small design fee for this service but otherwise the cost of the ring is the same as a comparative ring from one of our collections. We will provide a fixed price quotation, and will send hand drawings and even photo-realistic images before you commit to the ring being made.

Choosing a Diamond for your Engagement Ring - The Four C's
You can easily find the diamond for your money by pressing the choose-diamond button on a product page inside our online shop and then scrolling through the diamonds until you find the one that matches your budget. This is the best diamond for your budget. The diamonds shown fit in the engagement ring you are looking at.
What is the best/right Carat Size for my Engagement Ring
Budget is perhaps the main constraint when selecting what carat size of diamond you will put in your engagement ring. That said, other factors such as lifestyle, personality, occupation etc may influence what the largest (or smallest) diamond is that you would feel comfortable to wear.
Remember 1 carat is equivalent to 0.2gms. Carat is a measure of weight not size. However the two are closely related. Use the chart below for an approximate conversion..
Why should I consider Cut when selecting a diamond
Cut is a very important factor to consider when purchasing a diamond engagement ring. The cut, to a large part, determines how well the diamond sparkles. When a diamond is excellent cut, then it has been cut mathematically perfectly and as a result most of the light that enters the diamond comes back through the top of the diamond. We recommend you only consider excellent or very good cut.
Pick a reasonable Clarity when choosing an Engagement Ring
Most diamonds have tiny natural defects in them. We only sell diamonds when those defects are so small they can't been seen by the untrained eye (without using a magnifying loupe). When buying an engagement ring, you should ensure that the clarity of a diamond is sufficiently high as to ensure any defects are invisible. The top grade is FL (flawless), the lowest we sell are SI Slightly Included. We always clearly state the spec of a diamond in the engagement rings you can see in our online shop.
Diamond Colour and your Engagement Ring
It is very hard to tell what colour a diamond is when it is in an engagement ring. Most of the top colourless grades look the same unless carefully compared under controlled light in a lab. We therefore recommend that if you are constrained by budget, you accept grades as low as G,H, and I before compromising cart, cut or clarity.
