The engagement ring buying guide

The 4 Cs: cut, colour, clarity and carat

Carat is the diamond’s weight, and the biggest driver of price. A 1.00 ct round diamond measures about 6.5 mm across; 0.50 ct is about 5.2 mm. “ct tw” (total weight) adds up every diamond in the ring.

Colour is graded from D (colourless) to Z. We offer D, F and G natural diamonds and D colour lab-grown diamonds. G is “near colourless” and looks bright white once set, which makes it the best value.

Clarity describes tiny natural marks inside the stone. VVS2 (very, very slightly included) and VS2 (very slightly included) diamonds look clean to the naked eye. SI (slightly included) is the most affordable natural grade.

Cut is how well the diamond is shaped and polished to return light. It’s what makes a diamond sparkle, which is why a well-cut smaller stone can outshine a larger one.

Popular engagement ring styles

Solitaire: a single diamond on a plain band, the timeless choice. A six-prong setting like the Thalia holds the stone securely and makes it look rounder; four prongs, like the Kyra, show more of the diamond.

Halo: a ring of small diamonds around the centre stone makes it look larger and adds sparkle, as on the Halia.

Pavé and station bands: small diamonds set along the band, like the Irene and Asteri, for sparkle from every angle.

Split shank, cluster and side stones: statement designs for a fancy-shaped diamond, such as the Kalypso, Asteria and Ariadne.

White, yellow or rose gold?

Every ring is made in solid gold in all three colours. White gold makes a diamond look its whitest and suits a classic, modern look. Yellow gold is warm and traditional and is having a big revival. Rose gold is romantic and flatters every skin tone. If she already wears gold jewellery, match the colour she reaches for most.

Diamond type, grade and certificates

The diamond type (natural or lab-grown) and its colour and clarity grade are stated on every product page and on your order. Rings marked “Certified” are supplied with a diamond grading certificate.

When should you order for a proposal?

Engagement rings are dispatched within 3 business days, then delivered free, insured and tracked. Ordering two to three weeks before the big day gives you time to check the ring, and to exchange the size if you need to.

How to care for an engagement ring

Take it off at the gym, for swimming and when using cleaning products. Clean it at home with warm water, a drop of mild washing-up liquid and a soft toothbrush, then dry it with a lint-free cloth. Have the prongs checked by a jeweller once a year so the diamond stays secure.
