Tamara Engagement Ring

Kate P

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

As I began to delve into the multiple layers of well packaged merchandise I started to feel like I was playing "pass the parcel" at a birthday party!

First the plastic envelope... RIP

Then another layer of plastic wrap... RIP

Then a few layers of bubble-wrap... tossed over my head

Then a big dark blue 1791 box (delicately saved for re-packing purposes)

Then a smaller dark blue 1791 box (again saved for re-packing)

Then a small ring box... which refused to open until I realized it had a tiny (maybe child resistant) lock..

Followed by the Mother Lode! WOW!

Thank you for such a nice piece of art. one that she will never see in a Michael Hill store!

The Tamara Diamond Ring from 1791 Diamonds is a classic four claw solitaire. This style, although simple, remains one of the most popular choices for diamond engagement rings. Do not, however, take "simple" to mean "plain"; the Tamara design is strikingly beautiful and it is perhaps its simplicity which makes the diamond solitaire so charming.

A solitaire focuses attention on one single diamond, it is essential therefore to select a stone of the highest quality while staying within your personal budget. Purchasing through 1791 Diamonds is a good start since their diamonds are all within the top grades for cut, colour and clarity. They also provide a helpful online tool to help you select a diamond according to the "4Cs" (cut, colour, clarity and carat) and to see how this affects the overall price of your ring. You can also choose between 18kt yellow or white gold, or platinum for the ring's band.

The diamond of choice for the Tamara design is the stunning round brilliant cut. Once again, this is a popular choice of diamond but do not let this put you off on the grounds that your ring will appear ordinary or commonplace. The reason that brides-to-be often favour this particular cut is that it was specifically designed to optimise its extraordinary sparkling effect.
