I was all set to buy a ring from a well known UK high street chain, not knowing anything much about diamonds. I just happened to stumble across 1791 Diamonds whilst searching Yahoo, and I'm glad I did. Their website was very informative about the 4 C's and showed me what I ought to have been looking at. I found a gorgeous ring and then picked my own diamond to put in it, having weighed up all the options. It turns out that although I've spent roughly the same as I would have in the high street shop, I have a much better diamond in terms of colour, clarity and cut. The staff at 1791 are very helpful indeed, and keep you informed of what's going on.
They also offer a free re-sizing service which is included in the price of your ring. All in all, I was very impressed with the whole experience, particularly as they met a very tight deadline in getting the finished product to me. Oh, and of course the most important thing...? She said "yes", and absolutely LOVED the ring.

1791 are very impressive..they are efficient, seriously professional, honest, quick to respond and also make you feel like you are the only customer they are working with by responding to any query no matter how small with care and friendliness. I couldn't have asked for better customer service and although in some ways I was nervous because I am based in the UK and the ring had to be made overseas and sent to me without even trying it on I could not be happier with my ring and I have comments made almost daily about how beautiful my ring is. I would highly recommend buying from 1791. They are fantastic value and I having looked for my ring not only online but in many shops, I am yet to see anything nearly as unique and stunning as my ring and that is thanks to the skill that Alice has and the amazing quality of the stone that she/her team found me. I can't thank her/them enough for designing and making my ring as I spend half the day staring at it as it is so beautiful. Thank you 1791.
