Yellow Gold
The most luxurious and durable 18ct Yellow Gold - associated with royalty, yellow gold is rich in tone and history.
Rose Gold
Rose Gold carries a sense of romance, and creates beautiful contrasts with other metals and sparkling diamonds.

To help maximise your specific budget, we recommend you read our Budget Guide to help you set and plan for the perfect creation.
Selecting the perfect setting?
The selection of your engagement ring design will ultimately depend on your individual personality, lifestyle and preference. Let our Engagement Ring Guide help you. From there it is easy. You just have to choose your favourite precious metal and your finger size.
Selecting the perfect diamond?
The most popular, classic choice for an engagement ring is a diamond. Learning more about the 4C’s – Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat, will help you decide which diamond will work best for your type of ring and budget. We suggest first choosing the diamond shape you prefer and then finding a happy medium between quality and size. Selecting a smaller diamond may often get you a diamond of a higher quality, alternatively choosing a lower grade cut or colour allows you to purchase a bigger stone and more bling for your buck!

What metal should I choose for my engagement ring?
The precious metal you choose for your engagement ring will depend on your individual style, personality and perhaps the metal in the other jewellery that you might be wearing. To learn more about precious metals and discover what will work best for you, read our Precious Metals Guide.

What is the difference between an engagement ring and a wedding ring?
