Marquise Engagement Ring Platinum 950 | Duchess

S. Ebenezer

I just wanted to let you know that I proposed to my girlfriend over the weekend, and she said yes! As it's also her birthday this week, it came as a total shock to her (after waiting 8 years....) and I don't think I've ever seen her this happy. I'm just over the moon.

She absolutely loves the ring (she thinks it's the prettiest ring I could have ever chosen). Everyone who has seen it has commented on it as well.

Thanks again to you and the rest of the team at 1791. You guys are brilliant, and I will of course be recommending 1791 to all of my friends.

Alice Herald and the team at 1791 were fantastic. Over a period of about 6 months, and many emails they designed and crafted a ring which far exceeded all my (and my now Fiancee's) expectations. Their commitment to establishing a rapport with their clients to ensure satisfaction is unique and matched only by the quality of their finished product. My sincere thanks to all involved.

Simple elegance defines the Duchess diamond engagement ring from 1791 Diamonds. The Duchess features a lovely marquise diamond set across a band of either 18kt yellow gold, 18kt white gold or platinum.

The distinctive oval shape of the marquise diamond offers a stunning alternative to the traditional round brilliant diamond shape for diamond engagement rings and is particularly well suited to someone with long, slender fingers. An added advantage of this fancy cut is a marquise diamond tends to emphasize its carat weight, making it appear much larger than it actually is; the result is a striking diamond ring for less cost than other traditional diamond cuts.

The marquise diamond cut is said to have been commissioned by Louis XIV to commemorate the smile of his beloved Marquise de Pompadour, and the Duchess design certainly encapsulates a regal and romantic air.
