Quadrata Princess Diamond Ring in Platinum 950

As I began to delve into the multiple layers of well packaged merchandise I started to feel like I was playing "pass the parcel" at a birthday party!

First the plastic envelope... RIP

Then another layer of plastic wrap... RIP

Then a few layers of bubble-wrap... tossed over my head

Then a big dark blue 1791 box (delicately saved for re-packing purposes)

Then a smaller dark blue 1791 box (again saved for re-packing)

Then a small ring box... which refused to open until I realized it had a tiny (maybe child resistant) lock..

Followed by the Mother Lode! WOW!

Thank you for such a nice piece of art. one that she will never see in a Michael Hill store!

My now fiance, surprised me with my beautiful engagement ring as my Christmas present, the morning of 25 December 2011. He proudly had researched rings, picked and ordered it, without a single soul knowing, except for my Dad on Christmas Eve, when my fiancée asked for his blessing. I have had so many comments on my ring since, particularly on the clarity and colour of the diamond. When valued by an independent jeweller, it was estimated to be remarkably higher than what was paid, turning out to be great value for money. When asked where he purchased my ring, my fiance proudly announces that he bought it online from 1791 Diamonds Ltd.

Of course, many relatives and friends have been quite sceptical of this, telling him that he took quite a risk in buying online. My fiancée always researches large purchases before making decisions, and definitely shops around for quality and price. He generally buys from the Internet and has it posted to us, but I have to admit, that even I was shocked that he did so for such an item as an engagement ring. Though, not one for meandering around shopping centres, or being hassled by shop assistants, he recounts that he feels he got better service from 1791 Diamonds, than any shop assistant could ever give.

When it came time to purchase our wedding rings, for our upcoming nuptials in October 2012, I began looking around the shops and trying on different rings, but found it quite challenging to find jewellers who stock platinum, to match my engagement ring. Of course, my fiancée stated that I should try 1791 Diamonds. Still a little concerned about the process, I jumped online to take a look. I was instantly impressed with 1791 Diamonds' website, and began looking at what they had to offer. I emailed to enquire about custom rings, and lets just say that from that point on, I was converted, and didnt look past what 1791 Diamonds were offering.

Their service has been outstanding, and we were promptly emailed pictures of designs and finishes for rings that we had in mind. We were a little indecisive in what we did and did not like, but they were always very patient and accommodating, and continued to assist us with our decision making process. When we did go ahead and pick our designs, and made payment, our rings were made and posted to us in a timely manner, and we were notified of updates along the way, right from production to shipping.

Unfortunately when we received the rings, they were slightly too big (our own fault, as we both discovered we are half sizes), although were delighted to hear that we had thirty days to return them to be re-sized free of charge. I decided that I wanted my engagement ring made half a size smaller also, and naturally became very concerned about posting it back to them. My hesitations were quickly alleviated by reassuring correspondence with 1791 Diamonds' staff. They took care of everything, and again we were kept up-to-date with their progress.

We now have all three rings back safely, and they fit perfectly. We primarily dealt with Erika, and also Ardouin, who were both fabulous, but we realise that there is a whole team who help the plan come together, and to them, we shall be eternally grateful. I can honestly say that they have been our best wedding supplier to deal with, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others. In fact, my Dad has recently suggested an eternity ring for my Mums and his fortieth wedding anniversary later in the year (hes a little slow with these things), and I have recommended 1791 Diamonds to him. Again he is sceptical, but I have no doubt I can convince him otherwise. Their service has been second to none; not to mention the quality of their diamonds and jewellery. I can only hope that my fiancée revisits their website, for anniversary presents in years to come!

To everyone at 1791 Diamonds, I cannot thank you all enough.

With kindest regards,

Emma

The distinctive square shape of the princess cut diamond gives the Quadrata diamond engagement ring a bold, contemporary look. This striking multi-stone ring features princess cut diamonds for both the centre and side stones.

The strong, straight lines of the diamonds are complemented by the choice of settings: a bar setting for the centre stone with the side stones channel set into the shoulders of the ring shank. The channel setting allows the smaller stones to nestle side by side with no visible gap, creating a line of diamond fire and drawing the eye towards the impressive centre stone.

A wide ring band with squared off edges completes the look and offers an alternative to the soft lines and ultra feminine look of more traditional diamond engagement rings.

Multi-stone rings, with their array of sparkling stones, do tend to command attention and the Quadrata design is no exception. Featuring only the top grades of diamonds and the highest quality workmanship the Quadrata Diamond Ring is designed to impress.
