Right from my first enquiry, the 1791 team impressed me with their care for detail and willingness to go to extra effort to provide quality service. I am living overseas but wanted a New Zealand made engagement ring for my Fiance. Ardouin from Customer Services organised the shipping and tackled the challenging French customs systems to get the ring safely across to the other side of the world. When it arrived it was perfectly crafted and beautifully designed. I needed to resize the ring and again Ardouin organised everything for the ring to be resized in Europe by a trusted jeweller. Throughout the entire process comunication was fantastic, even across so many timezones, and I felt completely at ease that the ring was safe. My fiance loves the ring and we will be in touch again soon to choose our wedding bands from 1791.

Commission an Engagement Ring

Dear 1791,

I'm writing this to express my extreme gratitude towards the service I received from your business when recently purchasing an engagement ring.

I had made enquiries with over a dozen different jewellers & after one phone call with your designer Alice, I knew 1791 was the company I would have design the ring. Your staff came across as legitimately interested in my personal endeavour to create the perfect ring & at no time did I ever feel like my input wasn't valued or incorporated. Every detail was important to me, from the ring's design to the diamonds, so when I was advised & listened to in equal measure I knew I'd made the right choice. Best of all were the results...wow! How could she say no? The comments alone my fiancee receives speak infinitely for the brilliant design & end quality.

Thank you so much to Alice & your team. I would recommend your business to anyone that was looking for diamond jewellery & can't wait to work with you again on the wedding bands!

Yours Sincerely,

Peter W

Sabatina is a beautiful princess diamond solitaire engagement ring from the 1791 Diamonds collection.

Diamond solitaires, such as the Sabatina, are a traditional choice for engagement rings and the square shape of the princess cut diamond has become a popular alternative to the round brilliant stone. There are several good reasons for this. Firstly, princess cut diamonds have more "fire" than most diamond cuts, meaning that they more brilliant and have more sparkle.

The second advantage of the princess cut is that it makes inclusions, or flaws, less visible and any slight yellowish or brownish colour less noticeable, which means that the buyer gets a more attractive diamond at a more reasonable price.

Budget can be a real concern when shopping for diamond engagement rings. An old rule of thumb is that you should spend two months' salary. The Sabatina is extremely reasonably priced at under $2000 and should suit even the most modest budget; which is not to say that this diamond ring is in anyway lacking in style or beauty. For this price, your diamond will be graded I on the colour scale, meaning that it is near colourless; and SI2 on the clarity scale, which means the diamond will be only slightly included.

Let's consider the issue of clarity in more detail. Diamonds of the same size will vary dramatically in price if they are of differing quality. A perfectly flawless diamond is extremely rare and therefore incredibly expensive. Diamonds rated SI will not be flawless but a jeweller's loupe would be required to spot the inclusions (flaws), and very few would actually be visible to the naked eye. 1791 Diamonds only use high quality diamonds for their engagement rings so you can be assured that your Sabatina princess diamond solitaire engagement ring will be stunning.
