It is nerve-racking to purchase something like an engagement ring online - but once you get passed that you'll be well rewarded by 1791 Diamond! The customer service, the design input and the quality of the end product were all excellent - especially the end product! I've just had the ring independently valued for insurance and was gobsmacked to find they priced it at well over a third again what I paid for it, they also noted that the craftsmanship was excellent. I'll be coming back to 1791 for the wedding rings and if any of my friends look like they're about to go diamond ring shopping I'll be pointing them in 1791's direction

Simple elegance defines the Duchess diamond engagement ring from 1791 Diamonds. The Duchess features a lovely marquise diamond set across a band of either 18kt yellow gold, 18kt white gold or platinum.

The distinctive oval shape of the marquise diamond offers a stunning alternative to the traditional round brilliant diamond shape for diamond engagement rings and is particularly well suited to someone with long, slender fingers. An added advantage of this fancy cut is a marquise diamond tends to emphasize its carat weight, making it appear much larger than it actually is; the result is a striking diamond ring for less cost than other traditional diamond cuts.

The marquise diamond cut is said to have been commissioned by Louis XIV to commemorate the smile of his beloved Marquise de Pompadour, and the Duchess design certainly encapsulates a regal and romantic air.
