Palladium solitaire 1.03ct diamond engagement ring

 

We have recently had some new ready to wear rings come through to the showroom and I have to say, I am jealous of the lucky ladies who will get to wear these fabulous rings. We have had a few diamond solitaire engagement rings made recently and the ring below is my favourite by far.

Palladium and diamond engagement ring

This ring was designed by one of our senior designers Rebecca Howarth. The ring holds a 1.03 carat D SI diamond, which is held in a classic four claw setting on a palladium band. This ring is simple and elegant, along with a few tweaks here and there to the design which makes it intricately unique and very flattering upon the hand. Some people think that a carat diamond might be too big for their hand but, once they try this little beauty on, their thoughts will ultimately be changed forever. It is not too big or too small, it sits perfectly in proportion with the hand and it looks so delicate despite its size and you can put that all down to the careful and beautiful design ideas from Rebecca. I really like palladium as the choice of metal for this ring too as palladium is not as heavy as platinum and so it feels more comfortable on the hand as the weight of the ring does not affect the wearer as much. Palladium is also a hypoallergenic metal too which means that it will not upset the skin with any irritation when worn, which too can be a problem for some of us out there.

The diamond in this ring is simply beautiful. It is graded with the colour D which is the best colour that you can find in a diamond as it is colourless. The diamond sparkles from across the room and it is a real eye catcher. The diamond is held in a claw setting which allows more light to pass through the stone from all sides which is a great design feature as it helps the diamonds 'fire' become more pronounced. You can see from the image below what the stone looks like from a side view.

The collet tapers towards the girdle of the diamond which flatters the stone perfectly, I really like this style of setting as it looks so feminine and very classic but with an added modern twist. The shape of the ring from the side view shows how the design has that flower fell to it as the way that the ring is shaped looks similar to that of a flowering bud. You can also see this come through the design when you see the top view of the ring. Have a closer look at the image below.

The band is chamfered on either side next to the collet which creates and undulating and organic movement in the metal which reminds me of flowers. The overall design of this ring is natural in its form, beautifully classic and I think that whoever gets to be the lucky lady to wear it, should know that they are going to have a lot of onlookers with this one. It is an absolute stunner!

If you like the look of this ring but would like to have a more modern feel to the design, why not have a look at some of our other new ready to wear engagement rings.

Here are some more of my new favourite rings which are on sale now in the Hertfordshire showroom.
