I can't recommend the team at 1791 Diamonds enough - they guide you through the whole ring-selection process, making it as easy and enjoyable as possible. They give you updates along the way, and go out of their way to satisfy requests, answer questions and resolve any issues that pop up. I really appreciated the lengths they went to so I could get an idea of how the ring would look on my finger, with photos and detailed measurements. From the very first time I spoke to Ardouin on the phone, I realised how passionate they are about what they do, and knew that I had found the right people to make my perfect ring. The fact that they take such pride and pleasure in helping couples get rings they love really makes 1791 stand out above the rest. Thanks so much to the whole team, I'm excited to wear this beauty on my finger for the rest of my life!

I was incredibly excited to start unwrapping our rings when they arrived yesterday! The packaging is lovely, the information and letter from Alice Herald is great and very helpful. But the rings! They are beautiful! I am going to find it very hard to resist wearing mine before our wedding! Beautifully delicate, but simple. Just how we envisioned our rings to be.
I was recommended your site by my Maid of Honour as she knows of another couple who have sung high praises of 1791 Diamonds. And I'll be joining that chorus with sharing the positive, consistent, friendly and amazing service you offer. Your rings are divine!
Thank you, Erika, for your amazing help throughout this whole process. Usually all things wedding related are meant to be stressful - but you have definitely eliminated that element for us when it has come to buying our wedding rings :)
Kindest regards,
Leigh!
Aura Diamond Ring Review
The Aura ring showcases the unique qualities of the marquise diamond. This cut is said to have been commissioned by Louis XIV to commemorate the smile of his beloved Marquise de Pompadour, and it certainly adds a note of distinction to the Aura design.
The distinctive shape of the marquise diamond offers a stunning alternative to the traditional diamond shapes. It is an impressive looking stone and with its pointed edges at each end can often appear a larger carat weight than it is due, which can certainly be an advantage for the buyer. Its elongated shape is particularly suited to someone with slender fingers.
In the Aura design the marquise diamond is held in place in a Bezel setting. While this holds the diamond securely in place it can seem quite a plain setting. The sublime bead set rose gold wires entwined around the top of the ring band add a more decorative aspect to the Aura design.
The delicate colors of the rose gold wires and the champagne side stones blend beautifully and add warmth to this exquisite design.
