SOLITAIRE DIAMOND RINGS
The classic solitaire diamond ring remains the most popular style for engagement proposals.
Typically featuring a centre diamond or coloured gemstone mounted within a four or six prong claw setting, it is combined with a plain precious metal mount such that the ring maintains it's beauty over years of regular wear.
The centre stone can be round brilliant cut, princess ("square") cut, cushion, emerald, baguette, marquise, pear or even heart shaped.
In the case of all solitaire rings it is the centre stone which gets all the attention.

ABOUT OUR SOLITAIRE DIAMOND RINGS
When selecting your diamond ring there are a a multitude of considerations such as diamond cut, carat weight, grade and the setting of the ring itself.
We know you don't buy a diamond ring everyday and that is why our guidance and resources are here to assist you throughout this exciting process.
All our solitaire diamond rings share the inherent timeless qualities of elegance and style and are designed to showcase your chosen diamond to it's fullest potential - while being comfortable and practical to wear.
Your diamond ring is hallmarked in the UK with the Pobjoy makers mark "PM". A personalised engraved message inside the ring is also included.
Our solitaire diamond rings come in an eclectic mix of designs and our prices include the independently graded and certified diamond as specified. We have additional designs if you cannot find quite what you want on this site and also offer full bespoke services.
YELLOW GOLD
Although white gold and platinum have grown in popularity, yellow gold is both classic and highly desirable for it's rich and luxurious feel and appearance. The colour of yellow gold provides a beautiful juxtaposition to the solitaire diamond and is sure to never go out of style. Our gold ring mounts are in 18K gold which we recommend due to it's ability to withstand regular wear over many years and can be repolished as required.
WHITE GOLD, PLATINUM & PALLADIUM
White gold has a certain look and feel which keeps it in demand and has a highly polished finish. Platinum and palladium also appear white but are more resilient to knocks and general wear and tear than gold, while both metals are also hypoallergenic. Platinum weighs more than gold while palladium weighs less. White gold will loose some of it's colour properties over time and should ideally be refinished every two to three years.
ROSE GOLD
Occasionally known as red gold, rose gold exudes warmth and character. It is extremely adaptable to all tones of skin and has become an increasingly popular choice in recent years. It is a particularly attractive colour and works extremely well when combined with a sparkling solitaire diamond. 18K rose gold is typically made up of 75% natural gold with 25% copper and other alloys, the more copper the "redder" the appearance.
CAN I SEE SAMPLE RINGS BEFORE I BUY?
Yes. We have created meticulous replica models of most of the customisable diamond engagement rings in our collections to try before you commit. Should you decide not to proceed you have nothing to loose.
Each ring looks just like the real thing and is beautifully made from polished silver or brass and set with cubic zirconia 'stones' to replicate the size and shape of the real item.
We can also arrange to show you individual diamonds to your requirements at our visitors suite by arrangement.
HOW DO I CHECK MY PARTNER'S CORRECT SIZE?
Many of our customers plan on making the engagement proposal a surprise. The challenge quite often is in establishing your partner's correct ring size without raising suspicion.
Our sizing guide and ring conversion table is designed to help.
Of course if the surprise element is not an issue you can always arrange to visit us with your partner to get the correct size first.
If you cannot think of a convincing excuse to measure your partner's ring finger you may use an existing ring to gauge this. Remember that it must be a ring that already fits comfortably and is worn on the wedding ring finger, traditionally next to the "little finger" on the left hand.
Please note that a solitaire diamond ring tends to have a relatively narrow band such that if comparing to an existing ring with a wide gauge the correct ring size to go for will be half a size smaller.
WHAT IF I GET THE WRONG SIZE?
Don't worry - we have it covered! Our service includes a re-sizing of your ring with our compliments if it doesn't fit exactly as it should do.
Customise an existing collection design. Or create your dream engagement ring from your imagination. It is not as expensive as you might think.
Baguette, emerald, large round brilliant cut, pear and heart shaped diamond rings can be made to order. You may wish to add a contrasting diamond flank to each shoulder or other unique details. We have dozens of different mount designs which can be adapted and set with the diamonds or coloured gemstones of your preference and sized to fit.
Or we can develop a new design as per your brief. Your ring will be as bespoke as you want it to be.
