However, when the time comes to buy an engagement ring, everyone wants the same thing – the very best diamond ring at the most affordable price. But just where is the best place to find cheap, affordable engagement rings, which are high quality, contemporary styles and totally unique?

Diamond engagement rings are the traditional choice for engagement rings and, unlike Cocktail, or Right Hand (Dress) Rings are worn by a woman on the fourth finger of her left-hand, where the proud owner can flash the diamond engagement ring easily!

Diamond engagement rings represent a formal agreement to chastity and a future marriage; and true love and romance are symbolised in the giving and receiving of a diamond engagement ring. Diamond engagement rings represent a new beginning and what better way to start out on a future filled with new hopes and dreams than with a diamond engagement ring?

Because of their significance, searching for the perfect ring amongst the vast range of diamond engagement rings can be very stressful. There are many beautiful variations to choose from and options to consider, such as shape, size, settings… and cost! Affordable diamond engagement rings can look killingly beautiful, but you have to know where to buy!  We stock a huge range of mens wedding rings in many different styles & metals for wedding and anniversary.

Women prefer diamond engagement rings; indeed just about every woman assumes that her engagement ring will contain a diamond or two! The reason is obvious of course! Diamond engagement rings symbolize a deep expression of love and the intention to enter an unbreakable bond of marriage. In addition, their perceived expense, exclusivity and lifetime durability make diamonds the perfect gemstone to give in an engagement ring.

When buying diamond engagement rings remember the price will largely be determined by the diamond itself rather than the setting. Diamonds are priced on the basis of their cut (shape), clarity (extent of inclusions, the fewer the more expensive the diamond), color (the nearer colorless the better unless you are buying a colored diamond), and carat (diamond weight).

There are a great variety of styles of diamond engagement rings too, so it is a matter of taste, lifestyle (and budget) to choose the perfect diamond engagement ring. The most popular setting for diamond engagement rings is still the traditional solitaire. However, new fashion styles in shape and settings add exciting dimensions to the classic solitaire design.

Tension and bezel shapes add interest to the basic round cut diamond, the use of princess cut and emerald cuts also make a solitaire more unusual. And different settings, such as the cathedral setting, the prong setting, the channel setting, and the bar setting can make a solitaire diamond engagement ring very special.

Diamond engagement rings should reflect a woman’s style. A peek into her jewelry box should help. If most of the items in there are in silver or white gold, she would probably prefer a diamond engagement ring set in 18k white gold or platinum rather than in 18k yellow gold.

Or if you are looking for something traditional yet not a solitaire, perhaps a three stone diamond engagement ring will fit the bill?

Three stone diamond engagement rings are a romantic choice for engaged couples because the trio of diamonds represents the past, present, and future of their relationship. In trilogy diamond engagement rings, the diamonds can be the same cut – princess, round, marquise or emerald – or the central diamond can be a different cut from the accenting two.

Platinum is a popular setting for diamond engagement rings because of its luxurious exclusivity as well as for its beauty and elegance. The sparkling natural white color of platinum enhances the brilliance of diamonds to make platinum diamond engagement rings irresistible pieces of jewelry for every woman.  And with durability comparable to that of diamonds themselves, a platinum diamond engagement ring is the perfect symbolism for everlasting love!

Whatever you choose, remember to keep in mind that diamond engagement rings are very special so make sure you pop the question with a diamond engagement ring in your hand!

Pearls originally form when a foreign body, such as a grain of sand or coral, finds its way into the shell of a freshwater or marine mollusc, usually a clam or an oyster. The pearl forms over many years as the mollusc’s defence mechanisms coats the foreign body with layer upon layer of a slightly iridescent substance called nacre. 

Pearls are graded by color, lustre, surface clarity, size and shape. 

The color of a pearl, or “body color”, is derived from the color of the mollusc shell so cultured pearls come in all the same colors as natural pearls.

Freshwater cultured pearls are mostly white, but can be pink or rose tinted. Akoya cultured pearls range from cream to pastel pinkish white. Tahitian cultured pearls are typically darker, ranging from greyish green to the expensive and much in-demand black pearls.

Pearls often have slight natural surface abrasions, which can be overcome by clever setting into pearl jewelry. However the higher a pearl’s natural surface clarity, the more valuable it will be.
