Its dense, luxurious feel and resistance to wear make it a secure and elegant choice. Our platinum rings provide a timeless setting that keeps its shine for a lifetime.
Understanding The 4 C's...
The 4 C’s are what gemologists use to determine the value of a diamond. Whether it is lab-grown or natural, each diamond stone is valued against the guidance of the 4 C’s. This ensures everyone is working to the same standard and that each beautiful gemstone is valued fairly.
Cut
A diamond’s natural beauty is only truly revealed through the precision of its cut. The cut of a diamond plays a crucial role in determining its sparkle, brilliance, and fire. When expertly shaped with ideal proportions, a diamond maximises light reflection, creating that signature, eye-catching sparkle. At Chisholm Hunter, we believe that diamond cut quality is everything. That’s why every one of our stones is meticulously selected and certified to ensure superior brilliance. Whether you choose a round, princess, or emerald shape, you can be confident your diamond engagement ring will shine with exceptional radiance.
Colour
When it comes to selecting the perfect diamond, colour is a key factor in determining value and beauty. Diamonds are graded on a scale from D (exceptional white) to Z (light yellow), with D colour diamonds prized for their rare, colourless clarity. This absence of colour allows more light to pass through the stone, creating a mesmerising blue-white brilliance that’s both striking and luxurious. At Chisholm Hunter, we carefully curate diamonds within the D to G colour range, where purity and sparkle come together to deliver truly radiant results. Because no two diamonds are alike, choosing a high-grade colour ensures your engagement ring is as unique as it is breathtaking.
Clarity
Diamond clarity refers to the presence (or absence) of natural inclusions and blemishes within the stone, typically visible only under magnification. These tiny internal characteristics form during a diamond’s natural growth process when other minerals or crystals become trapped. While they don’t always affect beauty to the naked eye, they can influence how light travels through the diamond, impacting its brilliance. A flawless diamond, free from internal imperfections, is extremely rare and highly valued. At Chisholm Hunter, we hand-select diamonds with exceptional clarity to ensure every piece offers maximum sparkle, purity, and prestige.
Carat
Carat is the unit used to measure a diamond’s weight, not its size, a common misconception among buyers. One carat is equal to 100 points, so a diamond weighing 0.50 carats is described as 50 points. While carat weight does influence value, it is just one of the 4 Cs that determine a diamond’s overall beauty and worth. Two diamonds with the same carat weight can vary greatly in value depending on these other characteristics.
3 Top Tips For Buying Your Engagement Ring
Top Tip 1 - Create a Spending Plan
One of the first questions we’re often asked is: "How much should I spend on an engagement ring?"
There’s no rulebook when it comes to love, and the same holds true for choosing a ring. The right budget is the one that feels true to you—guided by your priorities, your shared story, and your comfort. At Chisholm Hunter, we believe every love story deserves to shine, which is why we offer a thoughtfully curated selection that speaks to every chapter of your journey.
If you're selecting the ring together, feel free to reach out beforehand, whether by phone, email, or a quiet word when you arrive. We’ll prepare a selection of rings that align with your budget, so you can explore without worry and find the perfect symbol of your love.
To make your experience even more seamless, we offer interest-free credit for up to 3 years, so you can focus on choosing the ring that truly reflects your love story—without the pressure of an immediate cost. With flexible monthly payments and 0% interest, you’ll have the freedom to invest in a ring that’s as meaningful as your future together, all while keeping your budget in mind.
Top Tip 2 - Find the Correct Engagement Ring Size
How do I find my partner’s ring size without them knowing?
Try these methods:
• Borrow one of their rings (from the correct finger!) and bring it to us.
• Trace the inside on paper.
• Ask a close friend or family member.
Depending on the ring’s design, resizing may not always be possible. If it doesn’t fit, simply return the ring to us in its original, unworn condition - we’ll gladly exchange it for the correct size to ensure the perfect fit. Many of our rings can be resized at our in-house state of the art workshop.
Whether you're beginning the search on your own or choosing the ring together, feel free to visit any of our stores—we'll be delighted to measure your finger and help you find the perfect fit.
Helpful sizing tips
1) Rings with wider bands tend to fit more snugly, so you may want to consider sizing up
2) Avoid measuring your ring size when you're cold, as your fingers may be up to half a size smaller.

ENGAGEMENT RINGS BY CUT
Round Brilliant
Cut to deliver perfect sparkle and brilliance, a round brilliant diamond is a timeless classic that will create an eye-catching engagement ring that will be loved for years to come.
Princess Cut
The princess cut is a hybrid gem shape that produces a keen sparkle. The straight-sided rectangle outline with a brilliant style facet is amongst the most popular today.
Emerald Cut
One of the more unique cuts, emerald cuts produce an effect resembling a hall of mirrors. The elongated form alongside linear facets and large table are highly desirable.
Oval Cut
A lengthened round brilliant diamond cut, engagement rings in this style offer a unique shape that appears larger than their round counterparts and also elongate the wearer’s finger.
Pear Cut
Also known as the teardrop diamond cut, this elegant diamond mimics a drop of water. Symbolic and flattering, the pear engagement ring is a lovely choice.
Baguette Cut
Named for its shape, the baguette-styled cut is one of the most popular diamond cuts. This style works well at elongating and thinning the wearer's hands and fingers.
Marquise Cut
A long and narrow pointed shape, the strength of the marquise cut (outside its ability to dazzle and delight) is to elongate the wearer’s hands and fingers.
Heart Cut
The heart cut typically has a simplistic ring setting to highlight its unique shape. This shape is perfect for larger diamonds and nothing says love like a heart.
