Wedding rings inevitably play second fiddle to engagement rings. Rather than the big bang of excitement and romance, they’re the symbol that seals the deal. Which invariably means that they’re given less attention. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t be beautiful....
Three stone engagement rings – also known as trilogy engagement rings – are second only to the solitaire ring style when it comes to popularity. As rich in symbolism as they can be in sparkle, these are rings that carry extra meaning, even when bought off the shelf....

The interest in sapphire engagement rings is no new thing. The recent trend emerged with the engagement of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, back in 2010. But really, you could say that it was the Duke’s parents who sparked the interest 30 years earlier. And the...
The thing about creating a custom engagement ring is that you don’t really need to worry about trends. When you design your own, you can go for whatever look or style you love without the smallest bit of influence from other people. But that doesn’t mean that you...
There’s a tendency, when it comes to custom engagement rings, to think that big is always better. That you need a big, bold stone. That you need the brightest bling. And that anything less than an a-list dazzler is going to fail to live up to the occasion. But here’s...
