What are the most popular diamond shapes in Wexford?
Most popular Diamond Shapes/Cuts in Wexford 2022
The shape of a diamond refers to the overall outline or silhouette of the stone, while the cut refers to the proportions, symmetry, and polish of the diamond. The shape of a diamond can greatly affect its appearance and how it sparkles and shines.
The fire and shine of a diamond refer to the rainbow-like flashes of color that are visible when the diamond is moved or viewed from different angles. The fire and shine of a diamond are affected by the cut and overall quality of the diamond, not just the shape. A well-cut diamond will have a higher level of fire and shine, regardless of its shape.

Making the Trip from Wexford in Search of the Perfect Diamond Ring
Buying an engagement ring can be a long process. It involves a lot of research, some trips far and wide and usually, some very tough decisions!
For Caroline and Mark who came to us from Wexford, it was no different. Mark decided to propose to Caroline without a ring as he knew she would want to choose it herself. Caroline was certain on the style of ring she wanted and was not going to settle for anything less.
After exhausting all options doing the ‘engagement rings Wexford’ google search, they decided that Dublin would be their best option for finding the perfect engagement ring. Caroline had heard from a friend in Wexford that we here at Bespoke Diamonds, can design and make the ring from scratch. This bespoke service sounded ideal to her. She made an appointment and brought the pictures she had found online that emulated the style of ring she wanted.
Caroline wanted an oval halo style she had seen somewhere but wanted to make her own changes to the ring to make it truly her own. These included removing the taper from the band, lowering the centre stone and changing the centre stone’s carat weight. Following the consultation, we began designing her dream ring. Before making the ring, we sent these designs to Caroline for confirmation who loved it.
Four weeks later, Mark and Caroline were back with us to collect the ring. They were both delighted with the end result and were looking forward to returning to Wexford to show it off to their family and friends.

Who Chooses the Engagement Ring?
Couples Together vs Man/One Partner
More couples choosing an engagement ring in Wexford come in together rather than having one partner pick the ring. This can be a practical solution and ensures that the receiver of the ring will love it. However, our “Love it or Return it” guarantee* gives partners the confidence to choose on their own should they want to (if the receiver of the ring would like to change the ring within 100 days, we will take the ring back in exchange for another design or custom design.
We do notice that this varies around the country and particularly in country towns and rural areas.
Natural Diamond vs Lab Grown Diamond
This year we have seen a huge swing towards lab grown diamonds and Wexford is no exception. In recent years, people have chosen lab grown diamonds for various reasons including sustainability, ethical reasons and their lower price. We see this trend continuing next year and also expect lab grown gemstones and lab grown coloured diamonds to make their mark too. Not included in this figure are Moissanite Engagement Rings which we have seen increase in sales again this year.
