Why choose a natural diamond for an engagement ring?

Many couples choose natural for its rarity and its story: a diamond that formed billions of years ago. Others choose lab-grown for more size or quality within the budget. We show you both so you can decide.

What engagement ring styles suit a natural diamond?

Every style works with a natural diamond. The setting changes how much of the diamond you see and how well it’s protected.

Solitaire: one diamond on four or six claws
Halo: small diamonds around the centre for presence
Hidden halo: diamonds beneath the centre stone, seen from the side
Cathedral: shoulders rise to support the centre stone
Three-stone: a centre diamond with two side stones
Bezel: a rim of metal for the most protection
