Right from my first enquiry, the 1791 team impressed me with their care for detail and willingness to go to extra effort to provide quality service. I am living overseas but wanted a New Zealand made engagement ring for my Fiance. Ardouin from Customer Services organised the shipping and tackled the challenging French customs systems to get the ring safely across to the other side of the world. When it arrived it was perfectly crafted and beautifully designed. I needed to resize the ring and again Ardouin organised everything for the ring to be resized in Europe by a trusted jeweller. Throughout the entire process comunication was fantastic, even across so many timezones, and I felt completely at ease that the ring was safe. My fiance loves the ring and we will be in touch again soon to choose our wedding bands from 1791.

As I began to delve into the multiple layers of well packaged merchandise I started to feel like I was playing "pass the parcel" at a birthday party!
First the plastic envelope... RIP
Then another layer of plastic wrap... RIP
Then a few layers of bubble-wrap... tossed over my head
Then a big dark blue 1791 box (delicately saved for re-packing purposes)
Then a smaller dark blue 1791 box (again saved for re-packing)
Then a small ring box... which refused to open until I realized it had a tiny (maybe child resistant) lock..
Followed by the Mother Lode! WOW!
Thank you for such a nice piece of art. one that she will never see in a Michael Hill store!
Eternal Engagement Ring Review
Eternal is an attractive contemporary three stone design incorporating a larger central diamond and two side stones.
This gorgeous designer ring is available in either 18kt white gold, an 18kt white gold setting with an 18kt yellow gold band or in platinum.
The choice between white gold, yellow gold and platinum is largely a matter of personal preference. However, there are also some other considerations which may have a bearing on your choice.
White gold is very similar in colour to platinum but cheaper. However, platinum is much harder and more durable than gold so for someone who works with their hands or has an outdoor lifestyle, platinum will be a wise choice. After all, you want your ring to be worn every day for a lifetime. Platinum is also hypo-allergenic so is a good choice from those with sensitive skin.
If you prefer yellow gold, the option of a yellow gold band with white gold setting is a good one since the white gold setting can make the diamonds appear larger and brighter. However, this need not be a major concern since 1791 Diamonds only use diamonds with an Excellent or Very Good cut so all of their diamonds will have exceptional fire and brilliance anyway.
For those shopping on a budget, Eternal may not be the first choice since it falls in to the higher price range for diamond engagement rings. However, the price tag reflects the highest standard of craftsmanship, the exceptional quality of the diamonds and a stunning design from 1791 Diamonds Head Designer, Alice Herald.
