My experience with 1791 was perfect. I found the whole website easy to use and love the fact you can pick and choose what ring you like and what diamond as well. I was a little unsure with what I was buying without seeing it first hand although when I spoke to a 1791 representative her recommendation was clear and very informative. Delivery of the ring was excellent and the whole process was very simple. When the ring arrived it was better than I imagined.

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!
Carlotta Diamond Ring Review
This exquisite diamond engagement ring from 1791 Diamonds is sure to set any heart on fire. Carlotta showcases a magnificent round brilliant diamond for the centre stone with a sophisticated pave setting along the shoulders which follows the curve of the finger beautifully and adds a fabulous sense of opulence to the design.
This is an ultra feminine style of diamond engagement ring. The delicate pave setting is made by fitting diamonds into tapered holes in the metal with some of the surrounding metal then raised to form beads which secure the stones. The effect is like tiny droplets forming two lines of shimmering light to emphasise the lustrous metal of the ring shank while leading the eye to the impressive centre stone.
Round brilliant diamonds make particularly impressive centre stones. The shape was calculated by a mathematician to optimise the amount of light reflected back through its top table face and hence why it sparkles so well; in combination with the pave set diamonds in the Carlotta design, the effect is quite breathtaking.
