Our engagement ring collection
When shopping for your diamond ring, there are a plethora of elements to consider from diamond shape, diamond size and quality, metal type, as well as band style and band width. However, the design elements that ring true for all of our collection rings is that every classic design looks beautiful from every angle and is comfortable to wear. The collection transcends trends and are destined to become treasured family heirlooms.
Mid-century modern design is sleek, yet always functional. That’s what we wanted for the collection.
Understanding the anatomy of an engagement ring will help to describe and recognise the different elements of a ring’s design and how you might like to customise it to suit your preferences. For collection designs that allow it, these rings are set with a small signature ruby on the inside of the band. The red ruby acts as a tangible symbol of our brand, capturing both our customers’ story and the care everyone at Taylor & Hart has put into the design, craft and delivery of each product. It’s also a sweet chance to personalise your ring-the ruby can be replaced with a gemstone that has special meaning to you or your partner.
Each design is priced without its centre stone, which can be chosen at the next stage of the ring builder. The designs can be set with diamonds or gemstones; from traditional white diamonds to precious sapphire colours such as pink, blue or yellow as well as lab-grown diamonds.

How much do you spend on a diamond engagement ring?
Almost everyone who comes to us to begin their engagement ring journey wants to know: ‘how much should I expect to pay for an engagement ring?’ There’s no simple answer. But, we can help you explore how each element of a design effects engagement ring prices, how you can maximise your value for money, and give you an idea of how much other people spend on engagement rings.
The ‘three months of your salary’ rule of yesteryear was created as part of a marketing campaign in the 50s and 60s. Dated and exclusionary, it’s not really legitimate advice for would-be proposers. What matters most is that you’ve found the love of your life; your ring should be a reflection of that bond, not an object that’s only about a price tag.
The nation that spends the most on engagement rings is the US, where the average cost of an engagement ring in 2021 was about $6,000. While the average spend is significantly less in the UK, it doesn’t mean people are buying inexpensive rings. Instead, we’ve seen a trend that has seen consumers move away from traditional choices, choosing to explore different designs, materials and styles as well as gaining a deeper understanding of a product’s value before deciding what to spend on an engagement ring.
Diamond engagement ring on hand
Whether you prefer a delicate one carat diamond ring, a two carat diamond beauty or a more extravagant three carat masterpiece, our collection of diamond engagement rings offers you an exciting selection of unique rings, allowing you to find a design that speaks to love you share with your partner. Play around with our carat weight widget below to see how different carat weights look in different shapes and styles on hand.

How do you figure out you or your partner's ring size?
You’ve decided to pop the question and take the first step to spending the rest of your life together, but what ring size is my partner?! We have some invaluable advice for choosing that perfect ring available on our ring size guide – even if you’re planning a surprise proposal.
Do we get inspired by celebrity engagement rings?
Engagement rings are so special because they’re more than just a jewellery purchase. They’re a tangible mark of the intention to get married, while a wedding ring symbolises the union. We understand how sentimentally valuable an engagement is and we love that this symbol of commitment can be so personal to each couple.
As designers, we’ve always looked to the high-profile jewellery of celebrities, royals, and cultural icons to kickstart our creativity. And lots of our customers feel the same! Browse through our collection of celebrity engagement ring guides to how you can incorporate some new ideas into a design that suits your price point.
Additionally, we’ve collected some of the most popular bespoke designs from our Instagram page into one place so that you can get the design ideas flowing. Browse our ‘As Seen on Instagram’ page here.
