Diamond Engagement Rings

While diamonds have historically been the most popular stone for an engagement ring, other gemstones are becoming an increasingly favorable option. When choosing a centre stone for your engagement ring, it's important to look at a stone's durability. Diamonds are the hardest gemstone on the Mohs scale, which means it cannot be scratched by any other material. This makes diamonds perfect for engagement rings and other pieces of jewellery you would wear on a daily basis.

Simply soak your white gold engagement ring in a mild solution of warm water and detergent free soap, and then gently scrub it with a soft-bristled brush. You can keep your diamonds clean and sparkling by handling them less often, storing them in a cloth or padded box and only cleaning them with quality products. We offer a selection of cleaning solutions including a non-toxic Gem and Jewellery Cleaner that is specifically formulated for diamonds.

It is a common misconception that a diamond with a larger carat weight is always better than a smaller carat weight. When purchasing your diamond, it's important to also factor in cut, clarity and colour as carat weight is not related to sparkle. Beautiful sparkle is the result of a well-crafted cut. In fact, a high carat weight diamond with a poor cut may look smaller than a diamond with a smaller carat weight and a very good cut.

Diamond jewellery will typically resell for 25% to 50% of the purchase price.
