Stone Cut Guide

Diamond Engagement Ring Styles

The Lily Arkwright natural diamond collection features a carefully curated selection of styles to suit every taste. Classic solitaire diamond engagement rings place the focus entirely on the centre stone, offering a timeless and elegant look that never goes out of fashion. For those seeking additional sparkle, halo diamond engagement rings surround the centre stone with a circle of smaller diamonds, creating the impression of a larger stone while adding brilliance from every angle.

Shoulder set designs feature diamond accents along the band, adding a refined elegance to the overall profile. Trilogy diamond engagement rings, also known as 3 stone diamond engagement rings, carry deep symbolic meaning with each stone representing past, present and future. Vintage diamond engagement rings draw on art deco and antique inspired detailing for a look steeped in character, while petite styles offer a more understated and simple diamond engagement ring option for those who prefer a delicate band.

Whether searching for a unique diamond engagement ring with contemporary flair or a beautiful diamond engagement ring rooted in tradition, every design in the collection is available to configure with a choice of centre stone shape, carat weight and metal.

Natural Diamond Shapes

Choosing the right diamond shape is one of the most personal decisions when selecting an engagement ring. Round diamond engagement rings remain the most popular choice, prized for their unmatched brilliance and fire. Oval diamond engagement rings offer a flattering elongated silhouette that can make the stone appear larger on the finger, while cushion cut diamond engagement rings combine a soft, rounded outline with beautiful faceting that catches light from every direction.

Emerald cut diamond engagement rings are known for their clean lines and sophisticated step cut faceting, creating a distinctive hall of mirrors effect. Radiant diamond engagement rings blend the elegance of an emerald outline with the sparkle of a brilliant cut. Princess cut diamond engagement rings feature a modern square shape with exceptional brilliance, and pear diamond engagement rings offer a distinctive teardrop silhouette.

For those drawn to less common shapes, the collection also includes marquise diamond engagement rings, elongated cushion cut diamond engagement rings and asscher cut options. Each shape is available across all ring styles, from solitaire through to halo and shoulder set designs.

Choosing the Right Metal

Every ring in the natural diamond collection is crafted in precious metals that enhance the beauty of the centre stone. Platinum diamond engagement rings offer exceptional durability and a naturally white finish that never fades, making platinum the ideal choice for those who want a ring built to last a lifetime. White gold diamond engagement rings provide a similar cool toned aesthetic at a more accessible price point.

Yellow gold diamond engagement rings carry a warm, traditional feel that pairs beautifully with the natural warmth of earth mined diamonds. Rose gold diamond engagement rings have grown in popularity for their romantic blush tones and contemporary appeal. All metals in the collection are hallmarked to UK standards, available in 18k gold or 950 platinum.

For those who want something truly individual, Lily Arkwright also offers a bespoke diamond engagement ring service where any design can be customised in a two tone combination of metals.

Natural Diamond Engagement Rings by Carat

Carat weight plays a significant role in the overall presence of a diamond engagement ring. The collection includes options starting from more affordable diamond engagement rings with elegant centre stones through to large diamond engagement rings that make a bold statement.

Popular choices include 1 carat diamond engagement rings, which offer a beautiful balance of size and value, 2 carat diamond engagement rings for those seeking a more substantial stone, and 3 carat diamond engagement rings for maximum visual impact. Every natural diamond in the collection is independently graded and comes with full GIA certification covering the four Cs of cut, colour, clarity and carat weight.
