It’s a clever way to get both a wedding band and an engagement ring for less – cutting future expenses whilst crossing another task off the to-do list. It might also suit those wanting to acquire two engagement rings for the price of one – perhaps as a spare or holiday ring for their prospective fiancée, or it’s a brilliant money-saving scheme for two mates looking to split the expense of an engagement ring, particularly if one of their intended brides-to-be fancies a solitaire design.
The complimentary rings on offer include either a yellow or white gold banded solitaire featuring a 1ct lab-grown diamond valued at £1,000, or a 2ct lab-grown diamond solitaire worth £2,000. Timeless styles that will endure through the years.
How to get a free Diamond Solitaire Ring
Spend £1,500 or more on selected natural diamonds at Ernest Jones and receive a free lab-grown diamond ring worth £1,000. Those who spend £2,500 will get a £2,00 2-carat ring for free.
With an extensive range of natural diamond pieces eligible, it presents an excellent opportunity to make savings on items like bridal sets whilst maintaining premium quality, reports the Manchester Evening News. Naturally, rings aren’t the only items included in this deal – earrings and necklaces feature too.
An eternity ring might not be the conventional pick for wedding jewellery – most couples reserve this style to mark different occasions, such as anniversaries. Plenty of people choose this design for its continuous channel setting of diamonds that delivers spectacular brilliance.
This 18ct White Gold Full Eternity 0.50ct Diamond Ring costs £1,500 and would complement the 9ct White Gold 1ct Lab Grown Diamond Solitaire Ring. For something slightly more unique, the £1,500 Vera Wang 18ct White Gold 0.12ct Diamond and Sapphire Eternity Certificated Ring belongs to the bridal designer’s LOVE collection and showcases alternating sapphires and round brilliant diamonds ‘as a symbol of everlasting love’.
This traceable Origin 18ct Yellow Gold 0.50ct Diamond 9 Stone Eternity Ring presents another gorgeous wedding band choice. Priced at £2,250, it showcases a row of nine round brilliant cut diamonds with a combined carat weight of 0.50ct, all ethically sourced.
For those considering purchasing two engagement rings in contrasting styles – perhaps keeping one as a spare or sharing costs with a mate – Ernest Jones offers an array of natural diamond rings that are simply irresistible. Take this Engagement Ring 9ct Two Gold Cushion Shaped Halo 0.50ct Diamond Ring at £1,650, which creates stunning visual drama with its square, cushion silhouette housing 29 diamonds.
Crafted in 9ct white gold, the band provides a striking contrast against its golden yellow tones. Buyers willing to splash out a bit more on their initial engagement ring purchase might consider the Vera Wang 18ct White Gold Pear Shaped Halo Certificated 0.50ct Diamond Ring at £2,600.
This incorporates three distinct gemstone varieties: a distinctive pear-cut diamond flanked by round diamond accents and round blue sapphire stones. These elements are mounted on an 18ct white gold setting.
For those who aren’t particularly bothered about securing two gemstone rings, including a solitaire, there’s a wealth of other single-stone diamond rings available. Take, for instance, the Solitaire Oval Claw-Set Lab-Grown Diamond Classic Engagement Ring from Angara, reduced to £1,241 from £1,379, available in three distinct metal options – 14ct white or yellow gold, 18ct gold or platinum.
Both the diamond’s carat weight and gemstone grade can be selected to preference. Elsewhere, H. Samuel is offering a stunning bridal collection featuring a 0.33ct Diamond Ring paired with a glittering diamond-set wedding band, now priced at £999, down from £1,399.
It’s worth bearing in mind that the Ernest Jones offer excludes items already discounted, meaning products must be at full price and cost over £1,500 to qualify for the complimentary engagement ring promotion.
While the specific products on the retailer’s website lack customer feedback, Ernest Jones boasts numerous positive reviews on Trustpilot that highlight its excellence. One delighted shopper described their engagement ring purchase, saying: “Shopping online for a new engagement ring and the selection is nothing short of incredible.
“Having the ‘try it on’ feature makes it all so much easier when you are not in a physical store. I have no complaints and cannot think of any faults whilst shopping on the website either.”
Another gushed: “Have always found Ernest Jones to be a great company to purchase from, it’s my go to for my wife, from our engagement rings, wedding rings and any Christmas, birthday or just an I love you day gift.”
The majority of reviews celebrate excellent service and top-notch quality, although one customer who bought an engagement ring online shared their somewhat disappointing experience: “Having purchased an engagement ring online, the diamond that came was quite cloudy compared to the picture (I know now I should’ve read and looked into the stone quality etc) so we went into the store where my fiancée picked a Vera wang ring as a replacement, when delivered it wasn’t the same ring picked, similar and she loves it still… but not the same one.”
Bearing this in mind, ensure you’ve done your homework thoroughly before placing that all-important proposal order.n A third customer said: “I just ordered an engagement ring for my hopefully soon-to-be fiancé.
“Shopping online was easy and I’ve opted to have the ring delivered to the store so it won’t get discovered early whilst I’m at work. Good job Ernest Jones.”
