Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - April/May (Issue 94)

Sparkling jewellery from some of the finest local jewellers WITH THIS RING We catch up with the team at Buckinghamshire-based Alicia J Diamonds where couples can buy beautiful bespoke jewellery with a personalised experience guiding them through options to suit their budget for a treasured piece of high-end jewellery to last a lifetime. We’re newly engaged and want to purchase a bespoke engagement ring that’s personal to us as a couple - what can you suggest? They tell us, “There are so many ways to make your ring reflect your personal love story. Engravings are the simplest way to add meaning to your design. It could be a special date, phrase, symbol, word or the coordinates of your favourite romantic location. It’s lovely to have something that only you two understand the meaning of. It can be on the inside or outside of the band as a reminder of your love, every time you see the ring. Setting small hidden birthstones on the inside of the band is another wonderful way to add that personal touch. Or choose a gemstone that holds meaning in your relationship, to forever show the love and attention that went into designing your bespoke engagement ring. The main design can reflect something personal, too. It could be a copy of a family ring or include gemstones, for example, a trilogy ring with a central diamond and a birthstone on either side. Designing a bespoke engagement ring is an exciting time. At Alicia J Diamonds, we know that every love story is unique, so we agree that your engagement ring should reflect that individuality. Our engagement rings are bespoke, made to order and symbolise each couple’s story. The Alicia J Diamonds team are all trained GIA (Gemological Institute of America) specialists, and source the best stones, without the high street markup. Being an eco-conscious brand, sustainability is an integral part of the Alicia J Diamonds ethos. All the diamonds and gemstones are sourced from reputable mines in conflict-free zones. Each customer will learn about diamond carat, clarity, cut and colour, as well as finding the perfect gemstone shape, setting options and design to create their dream piece of jewellery, at the right price.” Alicia J Diamonds | 0333 987 4985 | www.aliciajdiamonds.com www.facebook.com/aliciajdiamonds www.instagram.com/aliciajdiamonds PUT A RING ON IT JEWELLERY & ACCESSORIES 67
