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 :)

The staff at 1791 were very helpful to me. Spending a large amount of money on something that I had very little knowledge of was quite daunting. Not to mention that I also wanted to choose something that would suit my girlfriend. 1791 helped explain the various technical aspects of diamond jewellery, and also helped suggest styles for my girlfriend.

1791 were happy to customise the ring for me. I was very impressed that a computer rendering of what the ring would look like was sent to me. It was helpful to see how the finished ring would look.

I'm very happy to say that my girlfriend loves the ring.

The Karine diamond engagement ring - all the classic, eye-catching beauty of the traditional three stone design, but with a stunning contemporary twist. Princess cut diamonds make up the centre stone and side stone; a much sought-after choice for three stone designs due to their square shape allowing the diamonds to nestle together in perfect harmony, creating a dramatic display of fire and brilliance.

One major advantage of three stone rings is that they usually have a heavier carat weight than the traditional solitaire ring. Another plus of course, are the inherent qualities of the princess cut - they are naturally more brilliant than other diamonds.

In keeping with three stone design tradition, the centre stone is slightly larger than the side stones. It is also marginally elevated, emphasizing its unique shape and impressive sparkle even more.

When it comes to choosing a diamond, most people are guided firstly by budget, next by diamond-size, and then finally by quality.

I guess, at the end of the day, when you take into account all of the above, plus the fact that 1791 Diamonds only use stones of the highest possible calibre, it's easy to understand why the Karine has become one of 1791's most revered diamond engagement rings.
