Custom Flanders-cut Diamond Ring
The brilliance of the Flanders cut diamonds beautifully complements with the cool white of the platinum ring, which is based on our Platinum Promise design.
In our Platinum Promise rings we set the gemstones with tapered prongs that gently sweep upward and outward. The setting reminds us of the opening petals of a blossoming flower. The result is a beautiful, flowing arrangement of diamonds elegantly resting within the graceful setting.
As a surprise, we set two Fancy Violet diamonds between the upper and lower galleries of the center setting. We call these secret diamonds "Hidden Treasures!"
The band of the ring was formed by bringing together two platinum wires creating a double rib. The inside of the band was then polished smooth leaving the rounded contours of the two platinum wires visible on the outside. The shoulders of the band narrow as they sweep upward towards the diamonds. This creates an elegant band that is both graceful and sturdy.
Diamond Rings, Understanding Key Elements Before You Buy
Each year, over one million karats of diamond are minded; this adds up to over nine billion dollars. The diamond may be rare, but there are definitely enough to go around! Diamond rings have been around for many centuries. The use of diamonds in jewelry dates all the way back to the beginning of modern man.
You may wonder where diamond rings come from; the diamonds themselves are mined all over the world however almost half come from Africa. Other countires with major diamond mines are Canada, Brazil, Australia and Russia. Diamonds form very deep in the Earth and the diamonds are brought to the surface via volcanic pipes. It is deep within our Earth that the diamonds are subjected to intense pressure and hot temperature that allow them to form.
Round diamond rings are very popular, they come in at number one. Diamond rings with a round diamond are classic and elegant. Many feel that the round cuts shows exactly what the diamond looks like and it is easy to see the clarity and quality of the diamond with this elegant, straight forward cut.
Diamond rings can also be found with square or rectangle cut diamonds. An emerald cut diamond will be a square or rectangular one that has clipped corners so that the gem can be set perfectly in the ring. A diamond cut this way will really stand out and is a bit trendier than other cuts.

"Mengagement" ring by H. Samuel
The retailer believes the demand for a male engagement ring is partly down to equality with more women than ever proposing to their fellas, as well as being a clear symbol that the man is "off the market"! As H. Samuel's buying controller Natasha Gregory explains, "the men's engagement ring is a clear message to everyone that the man is going to be married and also works perfectly for civil partnerships". Interestingly she goes on to say "over 60% of our customers think it's a good idea for women to ask men to marry them." Really?! Maybe I'm just a bit old fashioned but I'm not sure I'd want to be the one asking. What's your verdict? Tell us in the poll below!

The Effect: BOW-TIE
It is in general understood that the bowtie effect is induced by an escape of light in fraction of the diamond. This is only to some extent precise. What really cases the bowtie effect is the screening of light by the human head. By merely facing at the diamond, you will be forgetting some of the light that can go into it and be brought back to your eyes.
The barring of light is however one cause for the bowtie effect. A new reason clarifies why some diamonds have a gloomy bowtie than others. This is where the facet, pavilion and table angles come in to act. When these are all leant and balanced fittingly, the bowtie effect will be curtailed, as the light is pondered and determined within the diamond so as to disseminate the part that is in shadow.
