Engagement rings: Our pick of real gems
Engagement rings to dream of, our pick of special jewels include diamonds from Georgina Boyce

Engagement rings are the ultimate love token and, with rubies, diamonds and glittering sapphires in the mix, we’ve sourced treasure to mark your special moment

Engagement rings are so personal, and the ring you choose needs to be not only a token of love, but something that will be worn regularly. While diamonds have been traditional, there’s a real revival of interest in coloured or ‘fancy’ stones, such as sapphires, rubies and more unusual gems such as citrine and amethyst. We’re also seeing more use of richer metals – rose gold and yellow gold especially – which is great news for anyone who prefers warmer tones against their skin. Whatever your preference when it comes to the ring, be inspired by these ten stunning designs from leading designer makers.
