Choosing the Right Engagement & Anniversary Ring

The Gemstone

When selecting an engagement and anniversary ring, the centre stone is the defining element. While diamonds are traditionally chosen for their brilliance, coloured gemstones offer a more distinctive and personal expression.
Gemstones such as sapphire, Paraiba tourmaline, ruby, and emerald bring colour, symbolism, and individuality to an engagement ring. For a more unusual choice, a Paraiba tourmaline ring offers exceptional colour and rarity.

COLOUR – The richness and intensity of a gemstone’s colour is key to its beauty and value.
CLARITY – Natural inclusions are common, but high-quality stones should appear clean to the eye.
CUT – A well-cut gemstone enhances brilliance and overall presence.
CARAT WEIGHT – Larger stones are rarer and increase significantly in value.
