White Diamond Engagement Jewellery buyers guide
Yes – you knew it, and you were right! White diamond engagement jewellery has so much to offer and a stunningly beautiful diamond engagement ring such as a platinum 3.01 carat marquise cut diamond (2/969) can be the starting point of many good things. At Hancocks Jewellers, we take an enlightened view of white diamond jewellery to accompany engagements to be married, and the different possibilities for both women and men to look and feel truly great, thanks to fine diamond jewellery of beauty and quality.
Because of their symbolic meaning, engagement rings are often the first piece of white diamond engagement jewellery to be considered, and it’s often a good idea to take a step back even before that. Take a look at the fine jewellery that you and your marriage partner-to-be possess today, to see how different engagement rings might match other pieces in gold or platinum, and if the jewellery design is simply elegant or highly ornate. With a growing trend for both men and women to wear engagement jewellery, you can also expand your horizons with combinations of different precious stones such as an emerald (2.02 carat) and diamond ring (6/248), and oval ruby (2.27 carat) and diamond platinum ring (10/234).
The shape of the diamond on an engagement ring can also say a lot about you and the person for whom you are buying the ring. For this reason, buying an engagement ring can also be a wonderful way of deepening your understanding and appreciation of your partner in marriage to be. Heart-shaped (2/294), cushion-shaped (2/272), pear-shaped (2/303) and marquise cut (2/498) diamond engagement rings all offer a wide choice of possibilities. Life-style may also determine the choice of the stone setting. Claw settings may vary in terms of finesse or thickness. If your partner is very active, a robust ring setting may be more appropriate.
A little organisation when buying an engagement ring can work wonders. Looking at our engagement rings online (you’ll find an excellent introduction to the different possibilities in the rings section) will help to set the scene, followed up by a first visit to our showrooms. Whatever budget you decide on, rest assured that Hancocks Jewellers maintains both strict and excellent price-quality on all our pieces of jewellery. When quoting your budget, we suggest being prepared to vary it to within plus or minus five percent. Thus, for example, for a target price of £2,000, you can also consider rings from £1,900 to £2,100.
Our diamond buyers guide will also help when considering engagement rings online to make sure that you know what your priorities are in terms of the 4 C’s – cut, clarity (SI2 or better), colour for white diamonds (G-H or better) and carats (1 carat for a single stone, for example). Also important is to purchase from a jeweller such as Hancock Jewellers, where quality, expertise and value for money all go hand in hand. Not only is white diamond engagement jewellery from our showrooms made to last and last, but it may also be the first of several pieces of jewellery that you will wish to purchase.
Following the choice of diamond engagement rings, other white diamond engagement jewellery possibilities open up for both newly-weds to be. As with your engagement rings, make your choices with the personality of your partner in mind, as well as the pieces of fine jewellery that he or she already has.
or men, engagement rings may not yet be widespread, but other pieces of white diamond jewellery can be much appreciated. Cuff-links that attract attention and exclamations such as, “They’re beautiful – are they to mark a special occasion?”, are a wonderfully stylish choice: 18 carat white and yellow gold cufflinks with brilliant cut diamonds (156/125) and 18 carat yellow gold onyx and diamond cufflinks (155/173) are so handsome that he may want them both... Or consider the white gold and diamond bangle for men (69/735) as an excellent alternative. And if you prefer a platinum diamond bangle for men instead of gold, Hancocks Jewellers has just the thing (69/631).
For women, the choice of additional white diamond engagement jewellery is even wider. Diamond bangles and bracelets may be of immediate interest if your partner has already opted for one, including white gold bangles with 2.34 carats of Princess cut diamonds (69/714) and the one-of-a-kind white gold 13.68 carats channel set diamonds bracelet (69/526). And if you prefer to choose flexible where your partner chose firm, there’s a whole world of white gold and platinum bracelets waiting to be explored. Start off with the platinum emeralds and diamonds bracelet (70/195) and continue with white gold sapphires and diamonds (70/200), just for starters.
When it comes to diamond earrings, we’ve made even more choice available to you. Subtle combinations of pearl and 0.45 carat brilliant cut diamond earrings with gold settings (95/384), that are just the thing to match a three-stone diamond engagement ring in yellow gold (3/631). Or platinum diamond drop earrings with pear-shaped diamonds ((90/626) to sparkle in unison with a platinum single stone diamond engagement ring with its radiant cut and excellent colour (D) and clarity grading (VS1).
Necklaces too and pendants as well enhance the overall beauty of the bride to be, and give you the chance to give a flattering echo of your other white diamond engagement jewellery, for example with an 18 carat white gold necklace with no less than 15.46 carats of channel set baguette diamonds (49/346). And as the ultimate symbol of two hearts beating as one, look no further than our sapphire and diamond heart shaped pendant (52/168) with a 7.43 carat sapphire and a 1.78 carat diamond, both in the shape of a heart, one next to the other.
