Choosing Your Engagement Ring
How do I choose the right engagement ring?
Begin with the person who will wear it. Consider their personal style, lifestyle and the jewellery they already love, then refine the choice through diamond shape, setting and precious metal. Our private consultations are designed to make that process considered, personal and enjoyable.
Which diamond shape should I choose?
Each diamond shape has its own character. Round brilliant diamonds offer exceptional sparkle, while oval, pear and marquise cuts create an elegant, elongated look. Emerald and Asscher cuts feel more architectural and refined. The right choice is ultimately the one that feels most distinctive to you.
How do natural and lab-grown diamonds differ?
Natural diamonds are formed deep within the earth over billions of years, while lab-grown diamonds are created in highly controlled environments using advanced technology. Both are real diamonds with the same fundamental physical and optical properties, but they differ in origin, rarity and long-term market positioning.
Which precious metals are available?
Our engagement rings can be created in platinum, 18ct yellow gold, 18ct white gold or 18ct rose gold. Platinum remains a particularly popular choice for diamond settings because of its strength and naturally white appearance, while gold offers a warmer and more individual character.
Can I customise an Emily Burlington engagement ring?
Yes. Many of our designs can be adapted in metal, diamond shape, proportions and setting details, while our bespoke service allows us to create something entirely individual. Every bespoke ring begins with a conversation and is developed around your ideas, preferences and budget.
Can you help me source a particular diamond?
Absolutely. We offer a private diamond-sourcing service for both natural and lab-grown diamonds, including specific shapes, carat weights, colours and clarities. We can also source certificated diamonds and present carefully selected options for you to compare before making a decision.
