Few items hold as much symbolic meaning as an engagement ring. As tokens of profound love and commitment, engagement rings belong to that rare category of objects that defy time: they are precious items meant to be kept close, worn for a lifetime and passed down through generations.

It is said the very first diamond engagement ring was offered by the Archduke of Austria to his beloved, Mary of Burgundy, in 1477. However, it was only in the 1950s that engagement rings truly came into their own, as diamonds became more accessible and a worthwhile investment. From contemporary chic to classic designs, couples can now choose between a wide variety of styles to find the ring that best suits their taste and preference.

Engagement Ring Settings

Solitaire

Simplicity at its finest: the classic design of a solitaire engagement ring carries all the attention towards a single, central diamond or gemstone. The central gem is held in either four or six claws, letting a great amount of light pass through the stone.

Halo

Halo rings accentuate a diamond’s perceived size by surrounding it with a circle of smaller round brilliant diamonds, which also give off stunning scintillation. When coupled with a central gemstone, a halo engagement ring offers great contrast.

Trilogy

A very symbolic ring design, a trilogy engagement ring represents the past, present and future of a couple. Set with a central diamond or gemstone, a trilogy ring features two side stones that add dimension and sparkle to a design.

Vintage

The delicate details of vintage engagement rings call back to styles of the past while still keeping a touch of contemporary design. Linear and geometric shapes recall the Art Deco movement, while more floral designs are inspired by Edwardian and Victorian jewellery.

Diamond Band

With round brilliant diamonds set along the band, this ring style leads the eye towards the central stone and complements its clarity and scintillation. A tapered band will add a delicate touch to your ring design, while intricate detailing will offer a more vintage appeal.

Metals

White Gold

This precious metal perfectly complements diamonds and gemstones. The reflective finish of white gold reflects the brilliance of gems and enhances the mesmerising effects of rippled light throughout the stone.

Yellow Gold

A classic finish, yellow gold envelopes diamonds in a warm sunny glow and provides great contrast to gemstones. The 18-karat yellow gold rings we offer are also resistant to wear and provide the ideal balance of colour and durability.

Rose Gold

First appearing in Imperial Russia, rose gold offers classic romance and unmistakable warmth. The blushing pink hue of this metal contrasts well with the whiteness of diamonds, revealing their intense clarity. Rose gold is also a durable option and is ideal for daily wear.

Platinum

A precious and sought-after metal, platinum is the perfect choice for those looking for durability and long lasting colour. The silvery-white finish of platinum will never tarnish and expertly complements the clarity and brightness of diamonds.

Choosing the right diamond

No two diamonds are alike. To find the ideal gem, it’s important to understand what type of diamond will best suit both your preference and budget. Find out what is most important to you in an engagement ring: is it the diamond’s size? Or would you prefer something smaller but of better quality? By reading through our diamond guides, you will gain a better understanding of carat, clarity, colour and cut and how each will have an impact on the final price.

Diamond shape

Your diamond will be the central feature of your engagement ring, so it’s best to choose a shape that complements both your taste and ring design. Certain diamond shapes are cut in a way to maximise scintillation, while others serve to enhance a diamond’s clarity.

The traditional and most sought after shape is the round brilliant, with all 58 facets of this diamond carefully placed to achieve mesmerising flashes of colour. This is not to say other shapes do not have the same appeal: the radiant and princess cut are also known to offer intense scintillation.

Certain shapes, such as the asscher and emerald, are cut in such a way to enhance a diamond’s clarity and offer intriguing flashes of light, also known as the ‘Hall of Mirrors’ effect. These shapes also have a certain vintage appeal that recalls 1920s fashion.

Lab-grown diamond engagement rings

Lab-grown diamonds are increasingly popular among many looking for a more affordable option to their engagement ring. Lab-growns are chemically identical to natural diamonds and offer the very same sparkling appearance. Although not as rare as their natural counterparts, lab-grown diamonds are ideal for those looking to buy larger diamond engagement rings at a more approachable price.

Gemstones engagement rings

The vibrant colours of gemstones have captivated our imagination throughout the centuries and continue to fascinate us to this day. Gemstone engagement rings hold century-old symbolism passed from generation to generation. Whether the intense blue of a sapphire, or the fiery red of rubies, a gemstone will bring unmistakable character to your engagement ring design.

As gemstones are a little more fragile than diamonds, we recommend having them included in more protective settings such as in halo rings. Additionally, the vibrant colour of gems will offer beautiful contrast when set with smaller brilliant diamonds.

Your engagement ring reflects the unique story you and your partner share, and sometimes that story can only be told by you. Through our bespoke service, you can create a jewel tailored to your vision. Our award-winning designers will collaborate with you to help create your dream jewel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should you spend on an engagement ring?

An engagement ring is personal to the couple whose love it symbolises. For that reason alone, it’s impossible to associate it with one cost. You may have heard that an engagement ring should cost a certain percentage of your salary, but we believe the figure is determined by three important factors:

Your budget
Your partner’s expectations
The meaning of the ring

The right amount is different for everyone. The perfect balance is finding a ring which you can afford and which you know your partner will cherish.

Can you clean an engagement ring?

Yes, you can. You wear your engagement ring every day, so it’s only natural it will need to be looked after. Cleaning it regularly ensures its radiance remains for years to come.

Our team recommends cleaning your engagement ring approximately every two weeks. If you carry out a lot of household tasks, do activities outdoors, or handle a lot of products day-to-day, you’ll need to clean your ring more often to prevent the build-up of residue.

How to clean your engagement ring:

Fill a small bowl with warm water and a little soap. Some gentle dishwashing soap is ideal.
Place your ring in the bowl and leave it to soak for 15 minutes. This will loosen any residue build-up.
Ensure your sink drain is covered, then rinse your ring under some warm water.
Use a soft, clean toothbrush to remove any remaining dirt. We recommend using this toothbrush solely for cleaning jewellery.
Use a lint-free cotton cloth to dry your ring. Let it air dry for up to half an hour before you wear it again.

Avoid using paper towels or harsh chemicals, such as bleach and commercial jewellery cleaners. They can damage the ring.If you purchase an engagement ring from 77 Diamonds, you can visit us for a free ultrasonic cleaning service. We recommend doing this once or twice a year.

How do I find out the right engagement ring size for my partner?

The best option is to have their size measured at one of our showrooms in London, Manchester, Berlin or Frankfurt. Our team of professional jewellers will have you test a series of different ring sizes to find the most accurate measurement.However, we understand not everyone is able to visit us. You may need to discreetly ask friends and family, or borrow an existing ring to measure, if they wear jewellery on their ring fingers.

Contact our customer services to request a free finger sizer, which we will send by post. You can also follow our ring sizing guide for more in-depth advice.

Do you sell engagement rings for men?

Yes, we do. Our men’s engagement rings are handcrafted and set with a tasteful brilliant diamond, or multiple diamonds for subtle sophistication. Select your setting, metal and diamond or gemstone to create an engagement ring that acts as a fitting symbol of your love.
