Engagement Rings are a traditional symbol of love and unity but that doesn't mean you have to surprise your loved one with a traditional engagement ring. The real beauty of engagement rings is choosing a ring that represents.

With a wealth of experience in sourcing gemstones and diamonds for each single piece of jewellery, there is no one more passionate than Barbara to design the perfect alternative engagement ring.
A diamond's value can be assessed by the 4C's. A true diamond expert like Barbara will personally assess and choose each diamond by hand, focusing on the true beauty that can only be seen by the eye. Each of the 4C's aids in determining how rare each diamond is.
Cut
For ultimate sparkle, a diamond needs to have two things, perfect Symmetry and facets that align. If facets align, light reflects on each surface giving a ring an envious sparkle.
Colour
Only an expert will be able to evaluate a perfect diamond colours. Each shade is subtle in difference. Ranging from colourless to a warm light colour, each colour grading of a white diamond carries it's own price point. Barbara will be able to help you discover the right colour grade for you.
Clarity
Each natural diamond has it's own characteristics which influences how light is reflected. The natural inclusions give the diamond it's clarity.
Carat
Carat refers to gold purity and diamond weight. The Term Carat comes from the Carab tree. The seeds of the carat tree are symmetrical and were seen to have consistently weights and sizes meaning it was the perfect choice when weighing gemstones in ancient days.
