Bespoke Pear diamond engagement ring Pear Diamond Ring in Platinum 950

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.

Alice Herald and the team at 1791 were fantastic. Over a period of about 6 months, and many emails they designed and crafted a ring which far exceeded all my (and my now Fiancee's) expectations. Their commitment to establishing a rapport with their clients to ensure satisfaction is unique and matched only by the quality of their finished product. My sincere thanks to all involved.

A single beautiful solitaire diamond can make a stunning statement for an engagement ring; remember, though, that your choice of diamond need not be restricted to the traditional round brilliant. Pero from 1791 Diamonds offers a striking alternative with a lovely pear diamond.

The pear, with its elegant tear drop shape, is a brilliant cut diamond and is half oval and half marquise and therefore offers a fabulous display of fire and brilliance. All 1791 diamonds are of either Excellent or Very Good cut - the very top cut grades - so you can be assured that your diamond will not show signs of the "bow tie" effect which can occur in some elongated fancy shaped diamonds. This is a dark area in the shape of a bow tie that occurs when the angles of the diamond cut are not optimum.

Some of the world's most valuable diamonds have been cut into the pear shape and have been the choice of the rich and famous. The best known is probably the 69 carat Taylor-Burton pear shaped diamond given by Richard Burton to Elizabeth Taylor. The Pero is certainly a glamorous diamond engagement ring, but rest assured, you will do not need to pay millions for this gorgeous ring!
