Diamond Engagement Rings

Have you decided to propose to your girlfriend and are ready to buy an engagement ring? Well, this is a good place to start looking. Wedding Rings Direct specialise in making the most beautiful diamond engagement rings at a fraction of the cost of the high street. All our diamonds are sourced from one of our diamond merchants in London or Antwerp, Europe's diamond trading hub. The engagement rings themselves are made here in the UK and the diamonds are set by our highly skilled diamond setters in our own workshop in Brighton. At Wedding Rings Direct you'll find one of largest ranges of diamond engagement rings available online - and at amazing discounted prices too. We have a great selection of solitaire and trilogy diamond engagement rings, most of which are available in brilliant and princess cut as well as fancy cuts such as marquise, pear, oval and emerald. Don't forget to keep an eye on our wedding blog for inside information and some good ideas of how to pop the question...!

White gold, platinum or palladium?

Our rings can be made in a number of different metals; platinum and white gold are no longer the only popular metals now that the jewellery industry has grown to love palladium. For lots of information about the different precious metals we sell, have a look at our metal guidance pages. If your girlfriend wears mainly gold jewellery you may want to think about matching that, whether it is white gold, rose gold or the classic yellow gold. Thinking one step ahead, some say that the wedding ring should be the same metal as the engagement ring so the two metals wear and look the same over time. If you are unsure about which metal to choose for your engagement ring please feel free to give us a call - we will be happy to answer all your questions.

The diamonds in our engagement rings

All diamonds of 0.25ct and bigger set into a solitaire ring are supplied with a diamond certificate unless specified otherwise. On trilogy diamond rings we will usually certify the centre stone and match the side stones in colour and clarity. Most of our stones are certified by the GIA, IGI or HRD - the three most recognised gemological laboratories in the world. You can find more information in our pages on diamond grading and buying diamonds in our information pages and in our engagement rings buyers guide.

Choosing the right engagement ring

Before committing, why not take advantage of our unique Try B4U Buy service, from just £5 per ring, to ensure you’ve made exactly the right choice. We hold a large stock of replica solitaire engagement rings which you can borrow in order to get a feel for the ring and to help you decide to select the right ring for your future wife.

You can also use one of our replica rings to pop the question and then come back with your lady once she said 'yes' and let her choose a ring she likes - this is the easy way out if you are not 100% sure which style or design she may prefer. Just let us know once you have ordered your engagement ring samples and we will make sure we give that ring a fresh polish so it looks like new.
