The great Koh-I-Noor, for example, was found in the early 14th Century and originally graced the magnificent diamond jewellery collection of an Indian Rajah. When India was added to the British Empire, the Koh-I-Noor was taken to London, recut, and placed in the Queen’s Crown Jewels. At 186 carats, this is truly massive diamond, taken as a prize of conquest at the height of the British Empire’s power.

On the other hand, diamonds can also be symbols of true grace and generosity. The Cartier or Taylor-Burton diamond is without doubt one of the greatest in the world. It was found in 1966 in southern Africa and given to Elizabeth Taylor by the actor Richard Burton, weighing more than 60 carats after cutting. Far from ending its days as piece of jewellery in a case, this stone was later sold to raise funds for hospital in Botswana, not far from where it was mined.

The history of diamonds is a rich and varied one, but one thing has stayed constant – the appreciation of these beautiful stones and their outstanding value.

First up, diamond rings. Don’t just think that rings have to be given with a proposal – any number of other occasions can call for one, so if you’re not at that stage yet don’t let it put you off. Just having a stunning diamond on her finger will be more than enough, and with so many options to choose from (solitaire, cluster or trilogy rings, to name but a few) you’re bound to find something to perfectly suit the occasion.

Then you need to consider the other items, such as diamond necklaces, bracelets or earrings. It’s always nice to have a complete set, but having just one statement piece can be equally as stunning. You have the option of classic pieces or more contemporary ones, so no matter what style you’re looking for you’ll be able to find something to suit.

These are just a few pieces of diamond jewellery that no woman should be without, and if you surprise her with any one of them you’re bound to impress. If you really want to hit the right note, come to us here at ROX and get ready to find that perfect gift.

Luckily, there plenty of routes you could go down when it comes to choosing jewellery. You might like to go for earrings, bracelets, necklaces or rings, for example, and upping the ante to diamonds would be well worth considering for something extra special.

And, no matter what style your recipient prefers, there’ll be jewellery to suit. Classic designs are always going to be in fashion, or if you’re after something more contemporary you’ll be able to find it. The options are endless, and you’re bound to find just the piece that you’re looking for.

But, it needn’t just be for women. Men are just as likely to appreciate a few carefully-chosen pieces, and thanks to the huge range available for men these days you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding something to suit. Rings could be on the cards, as could diamond bracelets or necklaces, or play it safe and go for gents watches instead.

No matter who you’re buying for or what style you need, jewellery can really make the perfect gift. If you think it’s time to get shopping to surprise that special someone, make sure to come to us here at ROX for a truly fantastic selection of pieces and get ready to impress.

There tends to be a set route that people go down when it comes to these rings. First of all there’ll be the engagement ring, then the wedding ring, and then eternity rings are the icing on the cake that finishes the whole thing off. They’re a traditional symbol of commitment to each other, and have long been used as a way to solidify the marital bond.

But even if you’re not married, don’t think that you can’t invest in such rings. Some people simply don’t want to go down the traditional route, and that’s fine too – eternity rings can be a great alternative to show your love and commitment, and are often given to symbolise that love even without a wedding ring.

Diamonds traditionally form the basis of these rings, and doing so makes perfect sense. Diamond rings, and diamonds in general, have always been a symbol of true love, so what could be better than showing that love through a beautiful diamond eternity ring?

Giving your loved one an eternity ring is sure to fill them with happiness. Perhaps you want to do it as a surprise for an anniversary, or you simply have no other reason than “just because”. Whatever your reasons and whenever you’re going to do it, you’ll need to come to us here at ROX where you’ll find a fantastic selection of truly stunning eternity rings that can’t fail to impress.

Don’t think that you have to wait for an engagement ring either – there are plenty of other routes you can go down. Diamond rings don’t just have to be bought for you by other people – why not treat yourself? Diamond necklaces, bracelets and earrings are all classic options, and with so many styles and designs to choose from you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Although diamonds are classic and traditional, they’re by no means outdated. You can get any style that you wish, with more contemporary pieces being just as common as classic ones. No matter what your style is you’ll be able to find the diamonds to suit, and when they look so stylish it’s a shame not to invest. Better yet, diamonds simply don’t age. They’ll look truly stunning for years to come, and will keep their lustrous sparkle for as long as you own them.

So, if you really want to impress, make sure to invest in a few pieces of diamond jewellery. Considering how good it looks it would be a shame not to, and if you’re looking to update your collection (or start it) make sure to come to us here at ROX to see what you can find.

In fact, the first diamond engagement ring wasn’t actually seen until 1477 when the Archduke Maximilian of Austria became betrothed to Mary of Burgundy. Up until that point plain metal bands were given instead, and even after that time diamond rings certainly weren’t common.

It was more common to see other forms of betrothal gifts being given at this time, and basic engagement rings weren’t seen in the Western world until the end of the 19th Century. Even then, the giving of diamond engagement rings didn’t become standard until the 1930’s – but those days are long behind us.

Now, the giving of diamond engagement rings is common practice throughout the West, with at least 80% of all proposals having a diamond ring at the heart of it. It isn’t surprising really seeing that diamonds have come to be the symbol of love, affection and devotion, so what could be a better way to show your love than by presenting your soon-to-be fiancee with a stunning diamond ring?

Here at ROX, we understand just how important diamond engagement rings can be. We’ve grown with this tradition and stock a fantastic selection of options for you to choose from, so come to us to find the perfect diamond ring and she won’t be able to say no.
