Diamond Ring | Carmen

Duncan G

I had something specific in mind for my wife to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, and 1791 couldn't have made it easier. I told Designer Alice roughly what I was after and within a day I had a beautiful rendered image of the ring design sitting on my desktop that you could have sworn was a photo of the real thing. So from idea to reality in about 48 hours, not bad! We were easily able to make a couple of small design tweaks, and the result was stunning. Right through the process from design to the paperwork afterwards was a pleasure and I would highly recommend 1791 to anyone looking for value for money and an outstanding result. I know my wife loved it :)

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 Carmen diamond engagement ring from 1791 Diamonds is a contemporary style multi-stone ring. The elegant rub over setting complements the gorgeous centre stone while the side stones wrapped around the ring shank enhance the glamorous look.

For those who favour a modern style of ring, the Carmen design will appeal on many levels. The round brilliant diamond has long been a favourite for diamond rings; it has the fantastic brilliance that we expect from the most romantic of gem stones, the diamond. A more traditional design would have the stone in a claw setting; however, the Carmen uses the rub-over setting creating a bolder, sleek look.

An added advantage of the rub-over setting is that the diamond is held securely in place and has better protection from being knocked while also preventing dust and grime building up on the stone to dull its lovely sparkle. For the modern woman who leads an active lifestyle, yet enjoys wearing beautiful jewellery the Carmen is the perfect choice.
