Diamonds have for centuries held an undeniable appeal, due to their rarity, natural beauty and brilliance. Formed over billions of years deep within the Earth, under extreme heat and pressure, these valuable precious gems are the hardest-known mineral, measuring 10 on the Mohs hardness scale.
When it comes to celebrating love and commitment, a beautifully crafted diamond engagement ring is a classic and timeless choice. Whether you’re drawn to the warm, feminine tones of yellow or rose gold, or the cool elegance of a platinum or white gold diamond ring, engagement rings featuring diamonds are sure to be cherished for a lifetime.
Selecting or designing a bespoke diamond engagement ring is a significant decision that goes beyond aesthetics. It’s about finding a piece that represents your love and aligns with your personal style and lifestyle.
The 4Cs - Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat, determine the beauty and value of a diamond. Cut is supremely important, as a well-cut diamond will reflect light much more brilliantly than a poorly cut one, and will be more visually appealing. Colour refers to the presence or absence of a yellowish tint, and is measured on an alphabetical scale starting from D, which is the highest grade and is essentially colourless. The higher the colour grade, the more rare and valuable the diamond is. Clarity refers to the presence of natural inclusions, and carat describes the weight and size of the stone.
Lab-grown diamonds offer the same brilliance and durability as natural, mined diamonds but are a fraction of the price. Natural diamonds hold the appeal of rarity - there is something supremely romantic about a stone that’s billions of years old and was formed under extreme geological conditions deep within the Earth.
The choice of metal plays an important role in the overall look of your diamond engagement ring and how good your diamond looks against the metal.
Platinum or white gold engagement rings with diamonds have a cool, elegant appeal and look good on almost all skin tones. Rose gold engagement rings with diamonds are supremely romantic and look wonderful on olive or darker skin tones, while warm yellow gold with its classic look has a universal appeal and complements most skin tones, from very pale to very dark.
As diamonds are largely colourless and translucent, metal that holds it does lend its colour to the diamond, influencing how warm-toned or colourless it appears. Platinum and white gold settings are a great choice for high colour diamonds, such as D to G colours, as they accentuate their whiteness. Yellow and rose gold create a warm contrast, making yellowish diamonds, such as H to M colours, appear whiter.
As this is a piece you will wear daily for the rest of your life, your engagement ring design should be carefully considered to complement your lifestyle, to ensure not only lasting beauty but also comfort. Opting for a bespoke ring design often yields the best outcome as you can fully customise not only the centre stone size, shape, colour and clarity, but also the metal and overall ring design. You can also add personal touches, such as an engraving, a birthstone or another significant design detail, making your ring uniquely yours.
If you lead an active lifestyle, opt for lower ring settings featuring styles like bezel or flush, which offer greater protection to the diamond. A lower-profile setting minimises the risk of damage while maintaining elegance.
A diamond engagement ring should be easy to maintain. White gold requires periodic rhodium plating to maintain its lustre, whereas platinum is naturally bright white in colour and more durable than white gold. Opting for a more solid setting also reduces upkeep – while very dainty bands may be aesthetic and fashionable, ensuring your ring has sufficient amount of metal in the band and stone settings is crucial for longevity, as well as security of your stones.
As awareness of ethical sourcing grows, many couples are prioritising diamonds that align with their values. All mined diamonds on the market today adhere to the Kimberley Protocol, ensuring they are conflict-free.
Some diamonds carry a blockchain certificate that allows traceability of the diamond’s journey from mined material, to sorting, cutting and polishing. These are typically more difficult to source and carry a higher price tag.
Another approach to ensure your diamond is sustainable is to choose a genuine antique old mine diamond. Antique diamonds are not only extremely valuable and rare, they also hold a romantic appeal as they were cut by eye and hand in Victorian and Edwardian eras. This is one sparkly way to recycle!
Some lab-grown diamonds are more sustainable than others – it all depends on the factory that produces them and its environmental impact.
An ethical and colourful alternative to diamonds is natural sapphires. Sapphire engagement rings have been steadily gaining popularity due to their uniqueness (sapphires come in a huge range of beautiful colours), ethical sourcing, as well as affordability compared to natural diamonds.

We use Australian ring size measurements, which are in an alphabetical range from A-Z.
As your fingers contract and expand due to the temperature, humidity, exercise, etc, your ring will fit on your finger tighter or looser. Your ring should fit comfortably and you need to find a balance between too big and too small. It is recommended that you should have to push your ring on tightly over your knuckle and it should spin slightly around the base of your finger. There should be some resistance when the ring is taken off – this will help to keep the ring on when your fingers are cold or wet. The correct size is the one that you feel the most confident and comfortable with.
We suggest that you size the finger you intend to wear your ring on at room temperature – this should provide you with a size that should be close to perfect most of the time.
Top-heavy rings can tend to spin on your finger, as the base of your finger is usually thinner than your knuckle. We suggest when sizing your finger for a top-heavy ring, that you err on the tighter side, rather than a loose fit. This will mean that the ring will stay on the top of your finger and it will ultimately be more comfortable to wear.
If you’re choosing a wide ring, you will tend to go up a size. There is more surface area on a wider ring and therefore more metal to grip to your finger.
If you are interested in a ring that is 5mm or wider, we suggest going up a size (one size larger than the sizing gauge). We suggest going up another size if the ring you are interested in is 9mm or larger (two sizes larger than the sizing gauge).
If you are buying a ring as a gift for someone, we recommend that you measure the inside diameter of a ring the person you’re buying the gift for, regularly wears on the finger your gift will be worn on.
If you do not know your ring size you can use this guide to obtain an approximate measurement.
Before measuring the finger on which the ring you’re purchasing will be worn, please ensure the following:
The number that lines up with edges of the opening is the ‘interior circumference’. Please note this number and then refer to our Ring Size Chart to choose the correct ring size.
If you do not know your ring size you can use this guide to obtain an approximate measurement.
If you have a ring that is worn on the finger you need sizing, print out the ring size guide (take care to print it at 100%), and place the existing ring over the circles. Measure the inside of the ring against the outside of the circle. If you can hardly see the black line which goes around each circle, you have chosen the right size. Compare the ring to the adjacent circles to check that you definitely have the right size.
You can then double check this measurement by measuring the inside diameter of the ring, and matching that against the ring diameter measurements shown.
Alternatively, if you don’t have a ring available, you can measure the finger itself to obtain an approximate ring size. You can do so by wrapping a piece of string or thin strip of paper around the finger on which you wish to wear the ring, marking it with a pen where it overlaps. Measure the piece of string with a ruler to obtain the circumference of the finger, and compare that to the European Size measurement shown on the chart. We would recommend that in order to obtain the most accurate measurement when taking your ring size in this way, you do so at the end of the day when the finger is at its largest, and not when your hands are unusually cold as this would lead to a smaller ring size.
