Diamond Rings
Aside from our engagement rings, we have a whole range of wonderful diamond rings. The diamonds we use are selected from catalogues around the world. They all have to meet our rigorous quality standards. This way, you know that whatever Carat Weight, Cut, Colour and Clarity you select, you will still get a wonderful diamond because we will have taken care of the other more technical aspects, avoid high-flourescence stones, or ones with dark table inclusions for instance.
Yellow Gold Engagement Rings
All our yellow gold engagement rings are made from 18kt gold. This is the purest gold that is suitable for making rings from. All 18kt gold has a small amount of silver mixed with it, as well as a very small amount of copper in order to create an alloy that retains the warm lustrous glow of pure gold but is strong enough to be worn as a ring. We only source our gold from either Australia or New Zealand. Some of our yellow gold rings, have a white gold setting to really emphasise the diamond.
White Gold Engagement Rings
All our white gold engagement rings are made from 18kt gold. White Gold is actually an alloy of mainly pure gold and other metals such as Palladium, Silver, Copper and a small amount of Zinc and Nickel. The surface of a white gold ring is also plated in Rhodium to give it a beautiful lustrous look. After a lot of wear, it is possible to have a white gold ring re-plated with rhodium to restore it to its former beauty
Platinum Engagement Rings
Platinum is an excellent choice for and engagement ring, diamond ring or wedding band. Its not ideal to mix a platinum ring with a gold ring, because it is a little harder and may mark the gold ring. Platinum also has the benefit of being hypo allergenic, so if you are allergic to gold, or any of the metals used in the alloy then Platinum is a most excellent choice. Platinum is currently a little more expensive than either yellow or white gold because it is somewhat rarer. All our platinum is 950 grade.
