We have many engagement rings in stock and ready to purchase but we also have many of our rings made to order to your exact specification. Art deco style, classic, contemporary and unusual, we can make any ring your desire.

We will talk you through the diamond options, whilst working to your budget, in a relaxed and informal way to make choosing the perfect ring an enjoyable experience. We are also able to offer interest free credit* and part exchange.
Many of our engagement rings are wedding ring compatible which means that they sit flush with a wedding ring without leaving an awkward gap which often requires that the wedding ring be shaped to fit. Wedding rings can be made to match the engagement ring, creating a stunning bridal suite.

The Four C's of Diamonds....
Colour
With the exception of some fancy coloured diamonds, the most valuable diamonds are those with the least colour. The colour scale for transparent diamonds runs from D-F (colourless), G-J (near colourless), K-L (faint yellow), to Z (light yellow). Completely colourless diamonds are rare.
When diamonds are formed with traces of other minerals, rare and beautiful colours can result. These "fancy" colours range from blue to brilliant yellow to red, brown, pale green, pink, and violet. Because of their rarity, coloured diamonds are highly desirable and may be quite valuable.

Rarity & Beauty
All gem-quality diamonds are rare, taking billions of years for nature to form them. The journey from the mine to you is long and arduous. While the four C's information helps you to identify the quality of the diamond you are purchasing, it is the combination of these four characteristics which determine a diamond's rarity. If you imagine a four-sided pyramid, with each side being a diamond characteristic—the more readily available diamonds form the base of the pyramid while the rarest diamonds are at the top. Keep this pyramid in mind when you are selecting your diamond. Your selection of characteristics will determine rarity and value. And remember—beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A diamond can only be truly perfect if you think it is beautifully perfect for you.
Cut
When you think of the cut, you probably think of the shape of the diamond. You are partially correct. While cut does refer to shape, it also refers to the proportions of how the diamond is actually cut.
Diamonds are cut into many different shapes, reflecting not only popular taste but the proportions and quality of the rough diamond. The most popular shapes include Round, Oval, Square, Princess, Emerald, Baquette, and Marquise cuts. Many specialty shapes are also available.
A diamond's overall proportions, as well as the size and placement of its many reflective surfaces or facets, also play a large part in "cut." The consistency and balance of these can greatly affect how the stone captures light and reflects it back to the eye.
Clarity
A diamond's clarity is measured by the existence, or absence, of visible flaws. Tiny surface blemishes or internal inclusions -- even those seen only under magnification with a jeweler's loupe -- can alter the brilliance of the diamond and, thus, effect its value. Clarity levels begin with Flawless (F & IF) and move down to Very Very Slight (VVS1 & 2), Very Slight (VS1 & 2), Slightly Included (SI1 & 2), and Included (I1, 2 & 3).
Carat
The carat weight of the diamond generally determines it's size however, a well cut diamond will appear larger than a poorly cut diamond of the same carat weight.
