What is the difference between side stone and halo engagement rings?

Side stone rings have small diamonds along the band but not surrounding the centre stone. Halo rings have a complete frame of diamonds around the centre. Side stone designs offer extra sparkle with a cleaner, more streamlined look.

What size natural diamond can I get for £7,500?

For £7,500, you can expect a 1ct–1.5ct GIA-certified natural diamond engagement ring with excellent cut quality, in your choice of platinum or 18K gold. The exact size depends on your priorities for colour, clarity, and setting style.
