Alice Herald and the team at 1791 were fantastic. Over a period of about 6 months, and many emails they designed and crafted a ring which far exceeded all my (and my now Fiancee's) expectations. Their commitment to establishing a rapport with their clients to ensure satisfaction is unique and matched only by the quality of their finished product. My sincere thanks to all involved.
Aura Diamond Ring Review
The Aura ring showcases the unique qualities of the marquise diamond. This cut is said to have been commissioned by Louis XIV to commemorate the smile of his beloved Marquise de Pompadour, and it certainly adds a note of distinction to the Aura design.
The distinctive shape of the marquise diamond offers a stunning alternative to the traditional diamond shapes. It is an impressive looking stone and with its pointed edges at each end can often appear a larger carat weight than it is due, which can certainly be an advantage for the buyer. Its elongated shape is particularly suited to someone with slender fingers.
In the Aura design the marquise diamond is held in place in a Bezel setting. While this holds the diamond securely in place it can seem quite a plain setting. The sublime bead set rose gold wires entwined around the top of the ring band add a more decorative aspect to the Aura design.
The delicate colors of the rose gold wires and the champagne side stones blend beautifully and add warmth to this exquisite design.
