THE GERARD MCCABE CLASSIC ENGAGEMENT RING

Design Inspiration, Engagement Rings Posted by Gerard McCabe on 27/09/2017

The Gerard McCabe Classic Engagement ring in it’s current form was designed and developed in 2009. Drawing on our four generations of experience in the jewellery industry, both from our technical manufacturing background and listening to what our customer’s wanted, helped us to create the ultimate solitaire ring design.

The Classic six claw solitaire diamond ring has been synonymous with engagements for hundreds of years.  It is an enduring style that shows off the sparkling round diamond.

What we heard from our clients though was that they wanted both a beautiful looking and hardy engagement ring, and a ring that would fit well with their wedding and eternity rings. Typically there are many solitaire engagement rings that won't fit a wedding band flush alongside them. So we came up with a design that did.

The Gerard McCabe Classic Engagement ring is designed to fit perfectly with a selection of our wedding and anniversary ring options. This gives the bride-to-be the freedom to create their own unique diamond ring set.

Classic engagement rings can be paired with classic gold bands.

In fact their design allows for them to sit very nicely with just about any ladies wedding ring style.

The Classic engagement ring is also designed to ensure that your eye is drawn to the beautiful diamond, as this is the true feature of the ring. The Classic design can be scaled to suit your diamond size, which means that the band will always be in perfect proportion to the diamond. 

Lastly the ring design ensures durability and has been made purposefully thicker in certain places, because an engagement ring needs to last you for a lifetime, and as an heirloom beyond. With a small amount of maintenance over the years, you can expect your Gerard McCabe Classic Engagement Ring to remain impressive.

At Gerard McCabe, we have strict standards when selecting diamonds, gems and precious metals. With our selections, you can be confident that every diamond in a bridal ring or diamond jewellery has been assessed, and meets our strict criteria. Recently Gerard spoke with our head designer Nazanin to review our Classic Engagement ring design.

“Gerard asked me to study Gerard McCabe Classic solitaire design and rework it if necessary. Solitaires are always the hardest ring designs. There are lots of fine details that can take this design from a high end jewellery piece to a plain band ring.

After a lot of research and analysing every detail of this design through my whole design process, I just had one final result: This design is perfect as it is, I’ve tried to find some changes to make, but perfection doesn’t need changes”
