If you have started your engagement ring search, you may know by now about the 4 C's and maybe even what they are. For all of you who do not know, or need a re-cap we are here to break it down and help you understand diamond characteristics, and why they are important. The majority of the price of an engagement ring will be held in the central stone, more often than not it is a diamond, and because every diamond is unique, you need to know what you are buying and to be confidant in your stone.

So we have broken down the 4 C's for you with a few extra details

Non-traditional engagement rings are the flavour of the month, with holidays booked and ideas flowing, we are here to help you find the perfect engagement ring/engagement pendant/engagement jewellery. We are here to tell you that a diamond engagement ring, and even a ring full stop is not the only way to ask someone 'Will you marry me'

The possibilities are endless when you start looking at engagement rings and you will see the same style crop up on Pinterest and the like, but if you know that your partner would want something sentimental and unique,

The idea of engagement rings costing 3 months of wages is a marketing ploy to get you to spend more in specialist jewellers, but we at Aurus London are hear to tell you that you do not have to sacrifice quality by going to high street jewellers to find your engagement ring, just because you think that you won't be able to afford anything else. Any ring specialist worth their weight in gold (excuse us) will be able to create any engagement ring to fit any budget, and that is exactly what we do.

The way that we differ to high street jewellers is that we do not sacrifice quality for quantity, all of our engagement rings are tailored and made to

One of the questions we get asked in almost every ring appointment is: "How do I keep my engagement ring clean?"  There will always be conflicting advise with this, some will say use neat vodka or gin to clean a diamond engagement ring, some will say soapy water.

What we recommend at Aurus for home cleaning of an Aurus Diamond engagement ring, is washing up liquid in warm water and a very soft old toothbrush. If you lather up the washing liquid, this will act as a de-greaser

Contemporary engagement rings ultimately create a timeless classic design that will never age or look dated, and we love showcasing a beautiful diamond in an equally gorgeous, simple setting.

If you want to begin designing your own modern engagement ring we have a couple of tips for you, to ensure that you design the dream engagement ring for your soon to be fiance.

Tip One: Begin with the stone

Through the years we have noticed many trends in behaviour for couples coming in to find their wedding rings, to name a couple of the less positive we would have to go with:

• Expecting to get life-long wedding rings for less than £100 for both people
• Expecting to get bespoke wedding rings the same day.

Aurus is a unique wedding ring brand for one reason amongst many: our quality is guaranteed. So we will be explaining why we would recommend not following the above directions, and take the realistic and ultimately more effect route when shopping for wedding rings.
