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.

She is extremely happy and can't stop looking at it. We love it! She keeps saying 'I still can't believe this beautiful ring is mine!'. From the both of us thanks to all of you, I found the whole experience with 1791 Diamonds extremely positive and professional. You 'saved' me by providing the stand-in ring in time and both yourself and Ardouin kept me informed in all stages of the process and responded quickly to all my questions (and I had many). The personal delivery really shows commitment and I never had the feeling you were trying to sell me something but you were there to help me, which I appreciate very much. And as said, the ring is absolutely stunning. So thanks again and you are top of our list comes the time to pick the wedding bands! Regards, T & J
Fiducia Diamond Ring Review
This multi stone ring showcases the exceptional fire and brilliance of the round brilliant diamond and in doing so reflects the zeal of great romance. The round brilliant diamond has such magnificent sparkle that it cannot fail to impress and in a multi stone design the visual effect is even more spectacular.
The graduated side stones gently lead the eye inwards to the centre piece, a stunning round brilliant diamond. The side stones taper in size, the smaller stones on the outside, the larger ones closest to the centre stone. The visual representation is symbolic of the emotional experience of falling in love. The initial sensation is subtle, building step by step until we experience the great intensity of true, enduring love.
In the Fiducia design the centre stone is cradled in a four claw setting which ensures that as little as possible of the stone is obscured, and it can be seen from almost every angle. The use of a claw setting brings a certain honesty and integrity to a diamond ring design. The stone is in a prominent position; it cannot rely on fancy design or embellishment in order to appear beautiful. Any flaws will be quite obvious so the diamond must be of excellent quality if it is to deliver the fairytale sparkle we expect. 1791 Diamonds only used diamonds of the highest quality so we can trust this will be the case.
