GUIDE TO ENGAGEMENT RING CENTRE STONES

The centre stone is the heart of an engagement ring, capturing not only a dazzling brilliance, but a captivating symbol of your love story. Diamonds are a timeless classic in any ring, but coloured gemstones offer a breathtaking array of hues, each whispering a unique tale. Whether it's the rich greens of an emerald mirroring a May birthday, or a fiery opal reflecting a vibrant personality, the perfect centre stone speaks volumes about its wearer. At Damiani Jewellers, we believe your engagement ring should be as extraordinary as your love, and its centre stone the perfect reflection of your one-of-a-kind story.

DIAMONDS

Their brilliance unmatched, a well-cut diamond within an engagement ring stuns with its innate fire and magical sparkle. Light dances across its many facets, creating a captivating display of rainbow colours. Diamonds are not only undeniably beautiful, but their exceptional hardness ensures they'll endure the trials of time, just like your love. These enduring gemstones represent strength, commitment, and everlasting love, making them an ever-popular, cherished symbol for countless couples.

MORGANITE

Exuding a captivating brilliance, morganite offers a stunning alternative to diamonds for engagement rings. This beautiful gemstone boasts a remarkable strength, registering 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it perfect for everyday wear as well as formal occasions. Its delicate blush tones hold a resemblance to a classic diamond, yet offer a softer, romantic flair that is endlessly alluring. Symbolising enduring affection and everlasting commitment, the subtle sparkle of morganite adds a touch of personality to any engagement ring design.

SAPPHIRES

Steeped in history and symbolism, sapphires make a captivating choice for an engagement ring centre stone. From celestial blue to fiery orange, these gemstones are available in a breathtaking spectrum of colours, offering endless unique ways to personalise the engagement ring of your dreams. Ranking 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire's exceptional hardness ensures it will withstand the test of time, much like your love. Symbolising faithfulness, truth, and nobility, a sapphire centre stone imbues your engagement ring with timeless elegance, stunning colour, and enduring romance.

RUBIES

Awash in fiery passion, rubies captivate as unforgettable centre stones for engagement rings. Symbolising love, desire, and zeal, their mesmerising red hue injects a powerful dose of personality and passion into any design. These captivating gemstones boast exceptional hardness, registering 9 on the Mohs scale, ensuring they can endure a lifetime of daily wear as it symbolises your lifelong commitment. A ruby engagement ring becomes a striking symbol of unwavering love and passionate devotion, perfect for couples who ignite a fire in each other's hearts.

PEARL

Imbued with a timeless elegance and delicate shine, pearls offer a unique and sophisticated choice for an engagement ring centre stone. Their soft, iridescent shimmer evokes a sense of mystery and romance, symbolising purity, innocence, and wisdom. Unlike other gemstones, pearls are formed by living mollusks, creating a truly organic and beautiful centrepiece for your engagement ring. While they require special care to stay vibrant and beautiful, a pearl engagement ring can easily become a cherished heirloom, whispering a story of love and individuality with every gentle gleam.
