Firstly, Clogau is a rare Welsh gold brand, with actually the rarest gold in the world!

Also a piece of Clogau gold was gifted to the Royal family during Queen Victoria's reign so Clogau gold still remains in the Royal family with jewellery being made from this. Customers can design and build their very own engagement ring using Clogau's inshore app technology for their Compose engagement rings, seen below.

Sonia Menzes, Head of Brand Development at Clogau says:

Alexis Dove's bespoke engagement rings using unusual diamonds such as snowflake diamonds, chocolate diamonds and petrol diamonds are the perfect choice for bride to be looking for something alternative. Alexis holds many one to one consultations on the run up to Valentine's Day with couple looking to design a unique ring together. Her customers are mainly women and she often finds men looking slightly lost when browsing, so she encourages couple to choose the perfect ring together.

Alexis Dove, Founder and Designer at Alexis Dove says:

"I would always say that unless you are certain of what your fiancé would like, buy the ring together. This makes it feel truly special to the couple as they are able to select every element of their ring, from the stone to the metal and the finished style. For those ladies who would like their fiancé to choose, it is always best to point him in the direction of your favourite jewellery designer with your ring size and metal colour choice!"

Mastercut Diamond, is an exclusive cut of diamond with 89 facets (32 more than a usual round cut brilliant diamond) and a star. With the unique cut of the diamond, Mastercut rings make the perfect piece for a woman looking for the ultimate sparkly ring!

Colette Gibbons, Sales Manager at Mastercut Diamond says:

"We have found so far that buying the ring before popping the question seems to be the most popular scenario, which means that the man has ventured into the store alone to make this massive decision. However , he is normally armed with at least a little bit of information, as the prospectic wife will have dropped a few hints ! - From the shape of stone, to a solitaire ring, or a multi stone ring, something with stone shoulders or at least a preference on colour, yellow or white metal is always useful information your partner.This will always help the retailer point the customer in the right direction .

The crucial question once the style and colour has been decided is …what is the finger size of ring required? This is more often than not, a bit of guess work.

But not to be deterred that this cannot be rectified , once the proposal has been made and if the size is not correct, Mastercut offer to make a new ring to the correct size and just swap the diamond into the new ring.

Instances of bringing back a ring because of the wrong style or colour are very few and far between, and its means a lot to have received a ring that their fiancé has chosen himself."
