1791 created the perfect engagement ring for me to propose with; and without ever meeting a single one of their team face to face! From the first moment I saw their website I was confident that they could do exactly what I wanted, even though I didn't know quite what that was at the time. Alice took time to understand the look and feel of what I wanted and quickly came up with concepts that were beautifully tailored to suit. Discussing my chosen design with her later, I couldn't even find any changes I wanted to make. After some much needed help on getting the right diamond and ring size (thanks Ardouin), my design was crafted into the perfect ring. The team at 1791 even disguised the packaging to ensure it remained a surprise right until the last moment. And of course she said yes!

I just wanted to give a big thank you for all the work on the ring - it looked even better than I thought it would and my now fiancee loved it!!! The timing was pretty incredible too, as I had planned to go ahead and propose on friday night, without a ring (controversially!) but then to have the ring finished early and literally hours in before the deed was great! So thanks Alice for all your work on the ring and everyone for being cheerful and helpful and encouraging throughout, I appreciate it all!
Ignite Diamond Ring Review
The Ignite, from 1791's Modena collection, offers a stylish alternative to the traditional solitaire diamond engagement ring. With the diamonds channel set into a rich, lustrous white gold band, the design is simple, almost to the point of being understated; yet it's certainly not lacking in elegance.
As the name Ignite suggests, the diamonds give off an amazing display of fire and brilliance, creating a truly dazzling wave of sparkling light. The effect is arguably one of tasteful opulence as it leans more towards quietly chic than overtly ostentatious.
For those who lead an active outdoor lifestyle or play a lot of sport, the Ignite is perfect - its channel setting ensures that there's little possibility of losing the diamonds as they're securely nestled within the band.
The distinctive styling of the Ignite design breaks right away from that of traditional engagement rings. It is unpretentious by design, and its clean lines present an air of simplicity and grace.
