Duchess Marquise Engagement Ring in 18kt White Gold

I had something specific in mind for my wife to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, and 1791 couldn't have made it easier. I told Designer Alice roughly what I was after and within a day I had a beautiful rendered image of the ring design sitting on my desktop that you could have sworn was a photo of the real thing. So from idea to reality in about 48 hours, not bad! We were easily able to make a couple of small design tweaks, and the result was stunning. Right through the process from design to the paperwork afterwards was a pleasure and I would highly recommend 1791 to anyone looking for value for money and an outstanding result. I know my wife loved it :)

Hey Ardouin,

I really big thank you for all your hard work getting the ring to Hong Kong in time.

My good friend got the package on Thursday and ended up bringing it on a boozy night out with him not knowing the true contents of the package eeeekkkk haha!

The proposal went exactly like I was hoping for on top of a mountain overlooking an Island I grey up on. G didn't see it coming a mile away! She absolutely loves the ring and wouldn't want to change a thing about it. And to make everything just perfect the fit of the ring is spot on!

So a huge thank you from myself and G.

Cheers

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.
