"Oval and Pear" 0.42ct Oval Diamond with 0.40ct pear shaped diamond shoulders.
Traditional elegance in this simple 18ct gold engagement ring that although not the most exciting ring, it does suit many buyers.

A tough one to photograph, but I like how it has turned out.

Cushion Cut Ceylon Sapphire Engagement Ring
One of the all time most popular styles we make at Rumour. Four claw set cushion cut sapphire with a pair of 0.50ct brilliant cut diamond side stones in matching settings. Set in platinum.
Similar to one of our other cushion cut sapphire designs, but, as ever, subtely different. This ring just came back for a tune-up and clean. My photography has got a lot better since we made it a few years ago so a good opportunity to re-take it.

Sapphire-diamond pave Eternity Ring
The perfect eternity ring pave set diamonds and sapphires set in platinum. For a Rumour Jewellery client.
Curved wedding diamond ring set
Specially made curved diamond set wedding band in 18ct yellow gold designed by Rumour to fit around the client's oval sapphire engagement ring.
This came back from our workshop a little too thick... so I had to send it back for a little alteration as it has to be perfect!

SpRING is Sprung! A guide to getting engaged.
After the long winter of gloomy weather and gloomier economic downturn a step-change is detectable in the air. It's nearly Easter, the weather is warming up so it must be 'Engagement Season' when a young man's fancy turns to... settling down! This year, more than any other, everyone needs a reason to celebrate and one of the best celebrations around is a wedding day.
Here's a short guide to Stage 1.
The first thing to get right is to very carefully choose the correct arrangements for popping the question . Too many people don't plan it out properly and end up "bottling it" (British) or "choking" (North American). If you've planned it all out in advance with your engagement ring, venue and proposal less can go wrong. This is an occasion to be enjoyed not feared!
Bespoke jewellery allows the proposer to find exactly the right design. It's important to get the right advice when choosing the design. If in doubt ask an expert, and enlist the help of a friend if required. Remember that the ring is going to be worn forever so it needs to be practical and of a timeless design. Spend what you are comfortable with.... and then a bit more so you are really happy with it! Why have a Vauxhall if you really wanted a Mercedes?
The next stage is to smuggle the engagement ring to your preferred location. If this means travelling abroad (Lake Como is popular this time of year) remember to put the ring and box into your hand luggage and not your pocket; when you invariably get searched your plans will be in ruins.
Now make that proposal at the specific moment you have decided on. If you need another person to set things up for you make sure that you keep it simple for them. Especially if you don't speak the same language.
Finally do not come back home with the ring still in the box. Failure is not an option... you've spent too much money and everyone needs a party to go to!

Diamond Engagement Ring "Victoriana"
0.71ct D coloured VS1 (excellent cut) brilliant cut diamond ring in a Victorian style carved platinum setting designed for a client at Rumour Jewellery and photographed for the www.rumouronline.com website.
A very traditional ring, the type we don't have much demand for (everyone wants something different at the moment!)... but we do love to make them when we are asked to!
