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.

I am absolutely thrilled with the ring. It is beautiful, I have just arrived home after a few days away and had heard a parcel had arrived on Sat for me - an amazing present to come home to!!
It is simply gorgeous, looks beautiful on my finger.
Thank you and you team so so much for making such an amazing piece of jewelry.
One very happy customer and I shall tell everyone with great delight where I purchased my ring and the lovely care and high level of customer service I received from you :-)
Thank you so much.
1791 Solitaire Engagement Ring Review
The 1791 Solitaire is a stunning six claw solitaire diamond ring with stylish shoulders giving it an overall regal look. The centre stone is a spectacular round brilliant which will not fail to impress with its characteristic sparkle.
While solitaire diamond rings are a popular choice for engagement rings, and round brilliants a particular favourite largely due to their fantastic fire and brilliance, the 1791 Solitaire is set apart by its stylish six claw setting.
The ring setting is an important consideration when selecting your ideal style of diamond engagement ring and should not be overlooked. One advantage of a six claw setting over a four claw setting is that the diamond is held more securely. At the same time, having more claws means that the individual claws can be finer, more delicate and less intrusive; whereas the four claw setting usually requires each claw to be slightly thicker to ensure the diamond is held securely in place.
You have a choice of metals for your ring: 18kt yellow gold, 18kt white gold or platinum. There's very little price difference between the two types of gold but platinum does increase the overall cost of your ring as it is a more expensive metal than gold. By all means base your choice on aesthetic appeal, you may simply prefer the natural look of yellow gold, but also keep in mind that platinum is the most hard wearing of these metals and is also hypo-allergenic.
