Jeweller Austen and Blake has released a new line of 30 engagement ring designs, offering two contrasting bridal aesthetics: The Timeless Romantic and The Effortless It-Bride.
The rings are made to order and can be customised with a choice of precious metals, including yellow, white or rose gold, or platinum, and diamond specifications, including the option of lab-grown or natural stones.
The Timeless Romantic collection features “intricate” detailing such as floral motifs, hidden halos and vintage-inspired settings. Designs include Rosalie, with petal-like baskets around the diamond, Elowyn, with vine-shaped bands, and Mae, with side stones arranged like leaves around a bud.
Meanwhile, The Effortless It-Bride collection takes a more “contemporary approach”, with modern settings and clean lines aimed at brides seeking individuality.
Several rings use north-west and north-east settings, including Marisse, Jassira, Naelia and Kaiva, while Lysandra reinterprets the classic solitaire.
Others adopt a bypass design, where the band curves around the centre stone, such as Adira, which features an embellished band, and Belina, which adds marquise side stones.
The collection is available online and at Austen and Blake’s 17 UK stores.
Kavisha Jain, merchandiser at Austen and Blake, said: “The Timeless Romantic collection is a tribute to timeless elegance and enduring love. The Effortless It-Bride designs celebrate individuality and confidence.”
