10 Dos and Don’ts to Planning the Perfect Proposal
One of the really special parts of creating engagement rings is hearing about all the different proposal stories. We have been told stories of wonderful proposals surrounded by family and friends, a sunset proposal in an air balloon and a Parisian proposal at the top of the Eiffel Tower.
While each proposal is unique in its own way and should reflect both your personalities we thought it might be useful to offer some tips from what we have learnt over the years of making engagement rings.
1. Take time to think about how you would like to propose. We advise against brainstorming the day before you plan to do it as it’s such a special moment in both your lives and needs to be executed well.

Halo Style Engagement Rings
Halo style engagement rings are rising in popularity and sit a very close second to the eternally popular single solitaire ring.
The halo engagement ring is a setting where a centre stone is surrounded by several much smaller diamonds (often pave set). The centre stone looks as if it wearing a halo hence the name. The halo engagement ring was designed specifically to enhance the brilliance and size of the centre stone.

Why We Love A Knife Edge Design Engagement Ring
We recently created a diamond engagement ring for one of our customers where the band was a platinum knife edge design.
A knife edge design is popular for round brilliant diamond engagement rings with its raised edge that runs around the outside of the band. The band style has two smoothly slanted sides that meet at a point which creates a beautiful and classic look.
The knife edge design is also referred to as the Tiffany Setting as they were the first to develop this unique style in 1886. Before then diamonds were always set into the band (bezel setting) and this was the first design which elevated it to expose more of the diamond and with it, more shine. With this setting the diamond is almost always set into a four or six claw setting.

Everything You Need to Know About Champagne Diamonds
I think we are not alone when we say we love champagne. We love popping open a bottle of bubbles to celebrate a special occasion but we also love a champagne diamond to celebrate the very special occasion of an engagement.
This beautiful ring was created for our very special customer Anisa. The band was created in platinum with diamonds on either side of the centre stone and finished with a round brilliant champagne diamond for a Nairobi proposal.
Champagne diamonds are definitely rising in popularity and here’s a little bit of background information on this beautiful stone.
