County Wexford is a county located in the southeast of Ireland, known for its beautiful coastline, historic towns and villages, and rich cultural heritage. The county seat and largest town is Wexford, a charming and historic port town that serves as a hub for the region. Other notable towns in County Wexford include Enniscorthy, New Ross, and Gorey.
One of the county’s major attraction is the Johnstown Castle Estate, a 19th-century castle and estate that features beautiful gardens, a farm and a visitor center, as well as an agricultural museum. Another must-see destination is the Hook Lighthouse, one of the oldest operating lighthouses in the world, dating back to the 13th century, and it offers a great view of the surrounding coastal landscapes. Additionally, County Wexford is known for its beautiful beaches such as Curracloe Strand and the Raven Point, as well as its rich history, which can be explored through many heritage sites like the Wexford Opera House and the Irish National Heritage Park.

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.
Gemstone engagement rings are a beautiful and unique alternative to traditional diamond engagement rings and can also be used in other types of rings and jewellery. They offer a range of colours, styles, and shapes to choose from, allowing couples to find a ring that perfectly reflects their personal taste and style. Gemstones such as sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and morganites are popular choices and can add a pop of colour and personality to the piece. Whether you want a classic, elegant look or a more modern, trendy design, there is a gemstone out there to suit your preferences.
Here we rank the most popular gemstones used in any of our pieces including engagement rings, wedding rings, earrings, pendants and bracelets in the last year.

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?
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.
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.
