The Perfect Engagement

With chocolates and teddies lining the aisles, flowers and balloons filling window displays and a whole host of extravagant celeb engagements splashed across the press, it seems the love bug is in the air! If you’re planning to make your Valentine’s extra special with a proposal this year - but just not so sure on the whole ring thing - this is the blog for you! Taking you from classic to contemporary, refined to extravagant, diamond to jewelled, here at H.Samuel we have a fabulous range of engagement rings for all tastes and budgets. With over 1600 rings to chose from we’ve already done the hard work for you and collated our favourite picks right here.

It’s classic, it’s simple, it’s refined; it’s the solitaire. Having adorned the hands of ladies’ for decades now, the solitaire remains a solid favourite in the world of engagement. If you’re looking to get your partner something extra special, The Forever Diamond boasts a stunning collection of diamond solitaires set on a choice of metals including white gold, yellow gold and platinum. Featuring a unique flower cut with an indulgent 73 facets, this gorgeous The Forever Diamond 18ct White Gold 45pt Diamond Ring exhibits a timeless design teamed with ultimate sparkle. Finished with a “Forever” engraving and a hidden diamond on inside the band, this unique design is sure to be a winner this Valentine’s.




If your bride-to-be is after something a bit more extravagant than a solitaire – but you can’t quite stretch to match Jay-Z’s $5 million dollar rock for BeynoncĂ© – then a bridal set featuring engagement ring and wedding band is a great value way to get your rings. The Perfect Fit range offers a beautiful selection of diamond bridal sets, each wedding ring carefully crafted to perfectly match their engagement accompaniment. This Perfect Fit 9ct White Gold 0.40 Carat Diamond Bridal Set features a glittering cluster halo ring with delicate milgrain detailing and a shaped, channel set diamond wedding band. A show-stopper guaranteed to take her breath away... and you don’t even have to go through the ring picking dilemma again for the wedding band!





If you’re looking for something completely different to the traditional diamond, coloured jewels are set to be a huge hit this year. For an elegant regal touch, this 9ct Yellow Gold & Silver Created Sapphire Cluster Ring is inspired by Kate Middleton’s exquisite Royal Wedding ring, featuring a rich sapphire centrepiece surrounded by an ornate halo of glistening diamonds. A stunner guaranteed to make her feel like a princess.




Or why not add a personal touch and opt for your partners birthstone? This month’s February stone is the radiant amethyst boasting a rich purple hue. Featuring a heart-shaped centrepiece this 9ct Yellow Gold Diamond & Amethyst Ring combines a romance-inspired design with a classic band and the vibrant amethyst stone. If you aren’t sure which stone goes with which month, simply refer to our birthstone calendar which will tell you all you need to know!
