Duchess Marquise Engagement Ring in 18kt White Gold

When my husband finally popped the question, I admit I was a bit relieved that he didn't already have the ring as I had spotted one on the Internet that I really liked. I was very wary about buying a ring off the net but it really was nicest ring I had seen. So I plucked up the courage and rang 1791's customer's services. Ardouin was just fantastic not only did she answer all our questions; she reassured us that the company was real and what we could do to check.

The ring making was quite a personal process, selecting your own diamond, progress reports on its creation and in no real time at all, it's delivery. I feel like my ring is really mine.

Now I'm the proud owner of my stunning ring and with a wedding band to match that they made for us at the same time.

1791 I love my ring and I wish I needed another, but maybe earrings!!!!

Wow, Amazing, Beautiful....these are just a few of the words that describe the beautiful eternity ring that I had the pleasure of designing with the team at 1791 diamonds, Alice in particular. Alice met with us and took the time to get to know the both of us so that she could design a ring that linked both Luke and I together. We got to share this exciting opportunity after winning Bride of The Year 2009. The ring we designed is everything that I had hoped for..not that I had any idea about what I wanted when I first met with Alice, but she was very patient and her quick responses to emails and sending through images made the designing process so much fun, like opening a new present every day :). The whole team were very efficient replying to telephone calls and emails and it was not long before I had a ring that I had helped design, my very own unique ring that I have had so many comments about. Talk about timing they even delivered to the exact day that Luke had proposed to me two years earlier.

After dealing with such nice people and truly getting to have "your very own ring" I would never walk into a store to get a ring that someone else may have. I would take the time to meet with the team at 1791 and design another ring in a heartbeat. So if you are wanting something special and to work with a team who really care about designing a ring just for you then I would recommend calling the team at 1791 Diamonds.

Thanks guys I love "my bling" ;)

I really do love my ring!!!!! I stare at it all the time :) and get so many comments

Simple elegance defines the Duchess diamond engagement ring from 1791 Diamonds. The Duchess features a lovely marquise diamond set across a band of either 18kt yellow gold, 18kt white gold or platinum.

The distinctive oval shape of the marquise diamond offers a stunning alternative to the traditional round brilliant diamond shape for diamond engagement rings and is particularly well suited to someone with long, slender fingers. An added advantage of this fancy cut is a marquise diamond tends to emphasize its carat weight, making it appear much larger than it actually is; the result is a striking diamond ring for less cost than other traditional diamond cuts.

The marquise diamond cut is said to have been commissioned by Louis XIV to commemorate the smile of his beloved Marquise de Pompadour, and the Duchess design certainly encapsulates a regal and romantic air.
