Proposing at Christmas is one of the most romantic ways to showcase your love. A small box hidden under the tree, spending the day with your dearest family members and enjoying a good feast to celebrate! The team at Michael Spiers is getting into the Christmas spirit by reflecting on some of their dazzling engagement rings, with the Showroom managers sharing their favourite designs to inspire you this season.
The pear-cut halo statement
A pear-cut halo engagement ring truly makes a statement. The halo design has become a contemporary favourite, yet this piece remains timeless thanks to its clean lines and platinum setting.
“The pear-cut shape offers an elegant point on the hand, whilst the encapsulating halo of diamonds amplifies the diamond's presence. It is truly a stunning engagement ring choice!” Katie, Truro.
The halo design offers a refined twist on the classic solitaire, while diamond-set shoulders add further sparkle and presence. The entire piece is crafted in high-quality platinum, enhancing both durability and luxury.
The classic round brilliant solitaire
Solitaire rings are one of the most iconic looks for an engagement ring. With a brilliant-cut diamond centred on a platinum band, Michael Spiers' platinum brilliant-cut diamond solitaire is a classic look and style, suited to everyone. The round diamond symbolises enduring commitment to your partner, making it a wonderful choice to symbolise your eternal love.
“The platinum brilliant-cut diamond solitaire engagement ring is perfect. Keeping it traditional but adding a modern twist, complemented with the perfect sparkle!” Nikki, Plymouth.
Featuring a pinched shoulder and a four-claw cardinal-point setting, this engagement ring epitomises timeless elegance. 
The Botswanamark trilogy
A beautiful, elegant design combined with brilliance and sparkle, these diamonds are from responsible and ethical sourcing, with full traceability of the stone from mine to finger. The three-stone engagement ring is a popular choice for those looking for an extra moment of sparkle.
“The Botswanamark trilogy engagement ring is a perfect Christmas present to start a couple's journey, looking forward to their future together. Symbolising the past, present and future in three, brilliant-cut diamonds.” Natasha, Exeter.
If you're inspired by the beauty and sustainability of the Botswanamark collection diamonds, you're invited to discover more in the Michael Spiers Wedding Suite Exeter Showroom.
Emerald cut elegance
An emerald-cut ring is one of the most recognisable cuts of engagement ring, having been the diamond-cut choice of Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly. The diamond shape itself symbolises steadfast love and resilience.
“This is a favourite of mine - the emerald cut is so exquisite, with clean lines and an unusual sparkle that catches the eye! The cut of the stones really has a wow factor!” Melanie, Taunton
The setting is crafted in platinum, using a classic claw-setting style that allows the stones to command attention, while also promising durability and timelessness.
