The price of an engagement ring depends on the ‘4 Cs’ — clarity, cut, colour and carat. Each of these influences value in different ways, and it is a common misconception that the size of the diamond alone is the most important factor. For example, a two carat diamond with a lower clarity or cut grade may cost less than a one-carat diamond that is colourless with an excellent cut rating.
At Appleby, our highly experienced team take the time to explain these details and work with every budget and preference. Whether you are seeking a classic solitaire or a bespoke design, we ensure every customer leaves with the ring of their dreams — chosen with confidence and care.
We will size the ring for you professionally. If there are any issues with the ring size after proposal, we will happily resize it.

An engagement ring should be a timeless, classic symbol of your love that will last forever, so the goal should be to find a diamond that is the perfect match for your future fiancée.

We always recommend 18ct gold and platinum. Both are precious, durable metals designed to last a lifetime. Platinum is naturally white and exceptionally strong, hypoallergic and that resists wear and retains its colour without the need for re-plating. 18ct gold and blush rose gold offers a rich, luxurious look with excellent durability. Its higher gold content gives a warm tone and a timeless appeal.

While diamonds are classic, some people love colored gemstones like sapphires and rubies. These add personality and can make the ring truly unique. Always inquire about the durability and care of alternative stones.
