Taylor & Hart Diamond Ring Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taylor & Hart have two ways to buy a diamond ring<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A bespoke ring design, created in collaboration with their in-house designers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. From their collection of pre-designed rings, each of which also allow for some personalised touches to be added.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When Taylor & Hart launched, their focus was on bespoke engagement rings. Using CAD and 3D printing, they could develop custom designs more quickly, and at better prices, than anyone else out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is still a large focus for Taylor & Hart, and I detail my experience of working with them in the ‘purchase experience<\/a>‘ section of this review. If you are considering a custom ring, I’d recommend you check out their article which answer the question ‘what’s possible with custom?<\/a>‘ to get an idea of what can be done and to receive a healthy dose of inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As well as bespoke designs though, Taylor & Hart also have a range of beautiful settings to choose from – over 1,700 at the last count:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"taylor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The advantage of this is that there is always likely to be a setting that matches what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for a round brilliant diamond in a solitaire setting, there are 15 options to choose from<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And even for what you may think would be a more unusual combination of diamond shape and setting, the selection is excellent. For example, there are 68 different halo setting styles for oval halo rings<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"taylor<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A nice feature to make even an off-the-shelf ring design is the ability to add a personalised ‘signature gem’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As standard, Taylor and Hart rings include a ruby inside the band of the ring:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"taylor<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    To make this personal to the recipient, Taylor and Hart can swap this out for another gem e.g. the birthstone of the person who is going to be wearing the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"taylor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    T&H have more details of the options available for this on this page<\/a> which details all of the signature gems that are available, together with who they are most suitable for. Definitely worth a look if you would like to make your ring more meaningful to the recipient without the need to go for a full custom design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Overall, Taylor & Hart have a one of the best selections of high quality ring settings available. As well as classic designs<\/a>, they also offer some interesting vintage<\/a>, art deco<\/a> and floral<\/a> options, if those styles will fit with the personal style of the recipient. Plus, if you have an idea for a ring that doesn’t fit with an existing design, their custom process<\/a> is a really lovely, collaborative way to create your perfect ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For a limited time, they are also offering a \u00a3100 discount to Ringspo readers using a code at checkout. Click here to find out more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    Taylor & Hart Diamond Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The centrepiece for any engagement ring is the diamond, and ensuring that you get a high quality stone can be the difference between getting a stunning ring and one that looks dull and uninspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this section, we’ll examine Taylor & Hart’s diamond selection, including how easy they make it to find a high quality stone.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Before we jump too far into this section, it’s worth noting that Taylor & Hart sell both natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lab grown diamonds<\/a> have grown hugely in popularity over the last three years, as the quality and supply has improved and consumer acceptance has grown. The fact that you can get a diamond that is virtually indistinguishable at a fraction of the price is difficult to argue with if you are looking to maximise the visual impressiveness of your ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just as an example below, here are two 1 carat, F colour, VS1 clarity diamonds from Taylor & Hart’s inventory:<\/p>\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you’re unfamiliar with lab grown diamonds, you can find out more about them here<\/a> – it’s worth a read to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Find a great diamond at Taylor & Hart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Like many online retailers, Taylor & Hart have thousands of diamonds available to choose from – over 90,000 just in the round shape, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"taylor<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

    Having this much choice can be overwhelming, so there are a couple of ways to narrow it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The first is to ensure the ‘featured’ button is clicked and then dial in either your desired carat weight or budget:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"taylor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One thing I would say here is that the text-based system of choosing a shape isn’t as intuitive as some other online retailers, so if you’re looking for a shape other than the default round, you just need to click ’round’ and then select your desired shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choosing ‘featured’ diamonds greatly reduces the number of diamonds available, but also selects stones at the exact quality I would recommend you start your search looking at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
