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!

Sabatina is a beautiful princess diamond solitaire engagement ring from the 1791 Diamonds collection.

Diamond solitaires, such as the Sabatina, are a traditional choice for engagement rings and the square shape of the princess cut diamond has become a popular alternative to the round brilliant stone. There are several good reasons for this. Firstly, princess cut diamonds have more "fire" than most diamond cuts, meaning that they more brilliant and have more sparkle.

The second advantage of the princess cut is that it makes inclusions, or flaws, less visible and any slight yellowish or brownish colour less noticeable, which means that the buyer gets a more attractive diamond at a more reasonable price.

Budget can be a real concern when shopping for diamond engagement rings. An old rule of thumb is that you should spend two months' salary. The Sabatina is extremely reasonably priced at under $2000 and should suit even the most modest budget; which is not to say that this diamond ring is in anyway lacking in style or beauty. For this price, your diamond will be graded I on the colour scale, meaning that it is near colourless; and SI2 on the clarity scale, which means the diamond will be only slightly included.

Let's consider the issue of clarity in more detail. Diamonds of the same size will vary dramatically in price if they are of differing quality. A perfectly flawless diamond is extremely rare and therefore incredibly expensive. Diamonds rated SI will not be flawless but a jeweller's loupe would be required to spot the inclusions (flaws), and very few would actually be visible to the naked eye. 1791 Diamonds only use high quality diamonds for their engagement rings so you can be assured that your Sabatina princess diamond solitaire engagement ring will be stunning.
