Diamond Buyer's Guide

With their romantic history and enduring beauty, diamonds are the perfect gemstone for any type of jewellery. Whether you choose a diamond ring, a diamond pendant or a pair of diamond earrings, giving a gift of diamonds is the ultimate celebration of love, one that will be treasured forever.

Diamond engagement rings

A diamond engagement ring is possibly the most important diamond purchase that you will make and there is a huge variety of styles to choose from in white gold, yellow gold and platinum.

The traditional engagement ring is a diamond solitaire - a single diamond held beautifully in a clasp on a band of precious metal. Round brilliant is the classic diamond shape for a solitaire. However, 'fancy' shaped diamonds such as princess cut, emerald cut or oval are becoming increasingly popular for exquisite, contemporary engagement rings.

Alternatively, a diamond cluster ring brings together a number of stones for an overwhelming and dazzling effect, sure to take her breath away. A cluster ring may have one diamond as its centrepiece surrounded by smaller stones, or it may feature four diamonds of equal size, set together to create the look of one stunning stone. Like the cluster ring, the diamond three stone ring, also known as a Trilogy ring, gives that bit more sparkle and is truly dazzling. Featuring a diamond to represent your past, your present and your future together, the Trilogy ring is a truly powerful statement of love.

Diamond wedding rings

A wedding ring is a band of precious metal with no beginning and no end, symbolising your commitment to each other. People are increasingly opting for diamond-set wedding rings which combine the eternal nature of the classic wedding band with the romance of diamonds.

There is a wide variety of options to choose from when buying diamond wedding rings. The bride and groom can choose to make their own statements of individuality or buy matching rings to represent their togetherness. Another option is the diamond bridal set - engagement rings and wedding rings that fit together perfectly, with specially selected matching diamonds to represent your unity beautifully.

Diamond wedding rings are available in a wide range of styles including wishbone, bands of channel or claw-set diamonds and rings set simply with a single diamond. So take your time and choose a wedding ring that captures your personality and your relationship with each other.

Diamond eternity rings

Eternity rings are often given to celebrate anniversaries and, like wedding rings, symbolise the eternal nature of your love. Crafted in white gold, yellow gold or platinum, they are usually set with diamonds. Eternity rings combining diamonds with a birthstone or other precious gemstones are also popular. While diamond eternity rings are ideal for anniversaries, they are equally perfect for birthdays or any occasion when you want to state the everlasting nature of your love.

The diamond eternity ring is a half or full circle of diamonds on a band of precious metal. Alternatively, a diamond three stone ring, with a diamond to represent your past, present and future, is an increasingly popular option.
